Executive Summary
Based on our statistical sample results, we estimated that Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) claimed $1,032,338 for bad debts that were not reimbursable under Medicare regulations. Of this amount, $1,003,043 related to bad debts that were with a collection agency. The remaining balance of $29,000 was unallowable for other reasons specifically related to CMC’s actions and should be adjusted on CMC’s cost report.
