Today's blog features the Reuters Health article written by Jillian Mincer that highlights the new payment procedure for patients that requires them to pay their bill before care is even administered.
Mincer writes, "Since U.S. hospitals do not want to end up
footing the bill, they are now experimenting with pre-payment strategies
for patients, with a growing number requiring payment before scheduled
care and offering no interest loans, according to interviews with more

experts."
