University Hospital raises rates, sets 2013 budget - Meg Mirshak, Augusta Georgia Chronicle

University Hospital patients will be paying higher bills in 2013. The five interlocking boards that oversee University’s operations met Thursday to set budgets and approve changes for next year. For the first time in four years, charges for all hospital services are rising. Room and board charges will increase 3.5 percent, and all other services, including lab work, X-rays, pharmacy and rehabilitation, will rise 7 percent. http://chronicle.augusta.com/news/health/2012-12-20/university-hospital-raises-rates-sets-2013-budget
