Indigent Hospital Costs in Quay County Rise
Quay County officials report rising indigent care costs with July to November spending over 307000 and projected year end at about 750000 up from 500000 prior year. Increases stem from more patients using the full 5000 per case rather than more patients. Dr Dan C Trigg Hospital’s Lance Labine notes rising ER use and higher overall cost, despite offsetting funds.
