UI Health Care to raise rates 6 percent for next year
University of Iowa Health Care will raise patient rates by 6 percent in the upcoming budget year to help cover rising costs and the opening of the new UI Children's Hospital. The $360 million facility will add about $40 million in fixed costs, with net operating income anticipated to drop to about $52.5 million next year despite revenue growth to $1.5 billion. Hospital occupancy remains near capacity as administrators add staff and beds, including 13 new observation beds and hotel space for families amid a 698 patient census peak earlier this year.
