My instincts tell me channels other than medical insurance coverage should have been utilized! Infractions within a profession SHOULD NOT become the burden of public health! [iNew] ...the ACA has also implemented new rules which incentivize hospitals who make fewer mistakes. In years past, it’s been reported that hospitals could make more money off of mistakes than they could by getting it right the first time around. After all, a patient coming back for further care just adds more money to the bank rolls. Thanks to the healthcare law, however, this time is now gone. Private insurers and Medicare can now reduce or even withhold payments from medical institutions who are making errors. Additionally, Medicare has begun fining hospitals whose quick readmission rates are too high. So if a hospital has high numbers of people returning within a month of being discharged, they could see serious fines.
