Reverse hospital bill: they owe us
Submitted by markjohnson on 2009-11-13 15:56Six hospitals owe the state more than $2.5 million as the result of overcharges to the State Health Plan, according to preliminary audit results the plan released today.
The six hospitals include Johnston Memorial Hospital which owes $229,675, a health plan release said. Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro owes the most, at just over $1 million, Dan Kane reports.
The audit may find more overcharges at other hospitals. Health plan officials say that 55 hospitals remain under review for possible overcharges, including the state's psychiatric hospitals in Raleigh, Butner, Morganton and Goldsboro.
Thirty hospitals have been found to have properly charged the health plan, which serves roughly 670,000 state employees, teachers and retirees.
