What price is right?
Pricing is an effective strategy for increasing hospital revenue. Usually between 10 and 25 percent of a hospital's business is charge-related. Hospital executives should consider price-driven payment, such as that affected by carve-out arrangements. Critical pricing issues must be thoroughly understood to perform an effective pricing study.
