Defense Dept. starts payment program.
The Department of Defense's healthcare system is starting a program to collect reimbursement for care from third-party payers. Walson Air Force Hospital at Fort Dix, N.J., is the first Defense Department facility at which the policy will be implemented. The program could collect as much as $2.5 billion annually when it's under way at all facilities. Walson has hired CIS Technologies to handle its billing and collections.
