How much does insurance, legal representation, a department to argue with insurers, etc cost the hospital?
- tptacek 2mo agoAbout 8.5% of revenue. This is not a poorly-studied number.

My surgeon friends routinely complain about the inordinate amount of time they personally need to spend fighting with insurance, in the form of filling endless forms that insurance insists must be filled and signed by the doctor. This is in addition to whatever time/cost the hospital staff wastes fighting with insurance paperwork. The surgeon time is not cheap, but the insurance companies expect these doctors to do all this paper pushing for free on top of their day job.
