a lot of unreimbursed healthcare is related to emergency rooms which is passed on to other patients with insurance.



According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 55% of U.S. emergency care now goes uncompensated.

The amount of uncompensated care delivered by nonfederal community hospitals grew from $6.1 billion in 1983 to $40.7 billion in 2004

When medical bills go unpaid, health care providers must either shift the costs onto those who can pay or go uncompensated.
