Malpractice Insurance Costs Threaten Montana Hospitals
Montana hospitals face steep malpractice insurance increases with premiums up 150 to 200 percent. Hospitals warn room rates may rise by 4 to 5 dollars daily to cover costs. In 1974 Montana admitted 134,274 patients, but patient days fell by 35,730 as average stay shortened to 5.5 days. Total revenue nearly matched expenses, with 30 small hospitals posting losses amid rising payroll and food costs. Rural hospitals fear bankruptcy without policy relief.
