LOL, we had a cuss jar and at the end of the year we threw a Xmas party. This was before charity was invented.

One huge moneymaker for hospitals is a pre-set list of charges for every stay.

Instead of charging patients for each item during their stay?

They have a list of things you MAY NEED while you are in-they will charge you and the insurance company for everything on that list.

Example?

A facility will buy prepacked surgery kits for an appendix removal.

They will use 75 percent of that kit and the other 25% is thrown out or gathered to be donated to a charity.

So,if a kit costs 400 dollars, you will be billed the total amount, while they only use 300 dollars worth of material/tools.
