BRMC Board Proposes Rate Increase in Budget Plan
Bluefield Regional Medical Center outlined a 140 million dollar gross revenue budget for fiscal 2000 and discussed a 6 to 7 percent rate increase.

He warned not all patients would face higher rates as government payers cut Medicare and Medicaid funding, and President Eugene Pawlowski warned of potential tough times ahead.
