Adjudicated pricing--when rates are challenged in court.
When the courts become involved in taking hospitals to task for their prices, hospital financial officers should prepare themselves for the unpleasant, potentially costly, and time-consuming legal dance that awaits them. The authors examine the pitfalls of judicial regulation of hospital charges and offer suggestions on how hospitals can avoid legal challenges or best prepare to meet them.
