Hospitals Will Begin Paying for Poor Admission Rates Starting in October

Posted: Updated:
WASHINGTON -

Starting in October, more than 2,200 hospitals across the country will begin paying penalties for poor admission rates.

This is part of the Affordable Health Care Act.

You may be surprised to see the number of nationally-known hospitals facing penalties fro the amount of patients who come back within a month.

The penalties are part of the act's effort to reward hospitals for the quality of care they deliver as opposed to the quantity of services.
