Fascinating long read in today’s (9/25 print edition) The New York Times about Providence, a nonprofit hospital chain based in Washington, which is currently being sued by the state’s Attorney General for state law violations in billing, such as sending Medicaid patients to third-party collections agencies when they should have owed $0, etc. (The Times story also finds problems with the billing from Providence locations in Oregon and California too. But so far Washington is the only state suing.)
They Were Entitled to Free Care. Hospitals Hounded Them to Pay.
ETA: also, the consulting company involved here, McKinsey & Company, is the same McKinsey & Company that paid $600m last year for its part in Purdue’s opioid scandal. Which is a whole different but related conversation.
