He instituted new policy such that, whenever there was an ambiguity in a patient's diagnosis, clerks would enter the most remunerative code possible. Hale has also found the billing department too cautious in its reimbursement claims for expenses such as interest charges for the facilities under Medicaid and Medicare programs. He has directed that whenever there is any doubt, staff should claim the maximum amount. As a realist, however, he has instructed accounting personnel to develop two…
