Sharjah City Hospital began operations in December 2019 and had patient service revenues totaling $5,000,000 (based on customary rates) for the month. Of this, $3,000,000 is billed to patients, representing their insurance deductibles and copayments. The balance is billed to third party payors, including insurance companies and government health care agencies. Sharjah City Hospital estimates that 20 percent of these third-party payor charges will be deducted by contractual adjustment. The hospital's fiscal year ends on December 31.
