No Increase
Projected
In a continuing effort to
contain healthcare cost,
Kings Mountain Hospital has
elected to project no increase
in room rates for the 1987-1988
fiscal year. ;
The Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees ap-
proved the budget at their
regular meeting on August
18
The new budget calls for no
increase in room rates but a
four percent increase in other
charges to offset the cost of
supplies that have increased
to the hospital. If also means
a merit raise of four percent
to the 192 employees, slightly
higher than the inflationary
cost of living increase.
A private room will con-
tinue to be priced at $152 per
day, special care room will
continue to be priced at $450
per day and a semi-private
room will continue to be pric-
ed at $150 per day (Kings
Mountain Hospital has only
four rooms licensed as semi-
private rooms). Labor and
delivery rates will increase
from $382 to $399.
The hospital had budgeted
for a 40 patient per day cen-
sus, a decrease from the 42
patient per day census from
last year.
The new budget calls for
$10,818,000 in patient charges,
an increase of $850,000 over
last year.
Medicare and Medicaid
and Bad Debts (32%) con-
tractual adjustments means
that the hospital will receive
only 68.21% of total charges.
