New rates, replacing those
which have “long been very
much below the average for
similar services in the states”,
follow:
Ward, per day, $11; semi
private, $13; private, $15; I
operating room, major, $25
for first hour; operating room,
minor, $15; anesthesia, $5toj
$15; delivery room, $15; child- J
ren’s ward, $7.50. The tees fori
'X-ray work will be slightly ad-'
vanced.
In listing the raises, the
hospital said: “Many features
enter into this decision al-l
though a little comparison
With rates in other Alaskan
hospitals as well as those in
the states show that the above
are still very reasonable. If
Sisters’ salaries were charged
at prevalent wage scales, the
cost would of course be much
higher.”
The hospital points out that
one of the pressing problems
is that of collections. “No
patient is turned away for|
lack of funds; no patient who
honestly cannot pay a bill is
dunned for money. Yet there
are many who are financially
able to pay for the service
they receive but completely
neglect these obligations. A
gainst this lack of good will,
there is simply no defense;
consequently each year a sub
stantial amount is written off
to bad debts.”
1 “On the other hand”, the
i hospital officials add, “the
1 large number of friends and
' supporters of the hospital are
a source of gratification; their
; good will more than compen
sates for the disappointments
and difficulties encountered
from day to day.”
