I genuinely wonder where this money goes, if paid. It seems rather unrealistic to believe these costs can be genuinely justified, with an independent audit? Right? The genuine cost to business cannot be this high.
These values are utterly unreasonable. Someone, somewhere; is doing something extremely unethical.
The fact this can even happen somewhat indicates there’s a lot of “power” involved.

Edit: another poster had mentioned that some costs are included to cover other admissions in which fees are not paid - no matter the reason.
So, whilst this seems quite logical; it bothers me this is not clearly indicated. Its a pretty poor attempt to fix a clear, and genuine, other problem.
- will4274 8y agoI can get close to the math by being extremely generous. 15k of tramua fees. ~10 specialists on call for tramua. That implies each specialist got about 1.5k for the call. ~2 hours of work, maybe payment for transport time so super generous call it 4 hours. If normal pay is 1x and overtime is 1.5x, must stay by the phone critical on call is 2x? This computes the specialists as getting paid an average of $200 per hour normally. This is all pretty crazy - $200/hour for a brain surgeon, sure, but there's no way the nurse is getting that. One of the big missing data points is how many people were called in. 15k is pretty reasonable if a 50 person team was called in - but then, why would a 50 person team be called in?
