Specialty hospital moratorium ends today
Ambulatory Surgery Reimbursement Update, August 11, 2006
The medical community continues to speculate about the effects of the end of the almost three-year moratorium on the development of specialty hospitals when the ban is expected to be lifted today.
Newspapers across the country have included coverage of the news over the past few weeks, including stories in the Indianapolis Business Journal and The Columbus Dispatch.
These stories have provided coverage of the news and also sought out sources in the healthcare industry to try to determine what effect the moratorium's end will have on individual states.
There are already signs that physicians are preparing to take advantage of the freedom to develop these for-profit hospitals, as is evident by the Newark Ambulatory Surgery Center in Licking County, OH adding beds to become a general hospital, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
