Key Points: • Indigent care in the County is heavily concentrated at PGHC. • There is no major academic center with supporting HSCRC rates in the County.

Payor Mix Drives Heavy Physician Payments Not Included In HSCRC Rates
• PGHC / DHA -$11,500,000
Key Points: • The hospital cannot operate without physicians to cover ER/Trauma, OB,
NICU, Psychiatry, Critical Care, and Anesthesia.
• The physician losses are real and not sustainable.• Negotiations with physicians are aggressive. • Whoever operates the system will need a stable source of ongoing funding
for un-reimbursed physician costs. • With an academic affiliation, a portion of these costs could be offset
through the development of additional teaching programs.
