We have a small hospital system in Los Angeles County and our patients population mix is overwhelmingly Medicare/Medicaid and uninsured. I'm looking for some definitive guidance regarding hospital cash discounts and prepaid services options for our uninsured patient population.
As a participating provider and if the patients do not qualify as indigent, under what circumstances, is any, may we establish cash prices for hospital inpatient/ outpatient services at less than 100% of Medicare? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for your help!
Warm regards,
Robert
