Imagine you are the CEO of a nonprofit community hospital in a small city. An influential patient is in your office with a hospital bill that he received recently for a one-day stay in the hospital (most of the time was spent in the emergency room). The bill, excluding physician charges, was $17,000. The patient thinks this is outrageous and wants to know if you really expect him to pay $17,000 and what the care actually cost the hospital.
What do you tell him?
Hi Mr. __________,
I got to know about your issue via e-mail as one of your employee forwarded your concern. The bill is appropriately charged and based on the services utilized by you for your one day stay at our hospital.
