Montana's Hospitals Report

From the Montana Department of Justice press release: "Montana Attorney General Mike McGrath Wednesday released the first Montana Hospitals Report (PDF) summarizing charity care and pricing at the state's 11 major nonprofit hospitals. The report presents information about hospital pricing, the charity care hospitals provide in return for their tax-exempt status, bad debt and collection practices, hospital surpluses and more. The report does not address hospital foundations."

The new report, "Montana's Hospitals: Issues and Facts Related to the Charitable Purposes of Our Hospitals and the Protection of Montana's Consumers," is available on the Montana Department of Justice website.
