Uncompensated care is the amount a hospital doesn’t get reimbursed due to a patient not having insurance or the ability to pay for the cost of care. With the recent Medicaid expansion, Medicaid coverage is more accessible, so our uncompensated care is decreasing; but our commitment to serving this region and putting the patient first – always – is as important as ever.
