Abstract

To the Editor: The June 23 issue contains two Sounding Board articles on prospective payment. Schramm and Gabel,¹ speaking for the insurance industry, claim that prospective payment has been a financial windfall for hospitals, increasing their profit margins to 6.2 percent. McCarthy,² speaking for the hospitals, claims that prospective payment has been a financial disaster for hospitals, reducing their profit margin to a mere 0.2 percent. Who's telling the truth?
