Critical access hospitals and cost shifting.
In the context of ongoing discussion about critical access hospital (CAH) reimbursement, it is important to better understand how health care providers currently utilize funds from the CAH Programs. This study found that among hospitals converted to CAH designation while part of a hospital system, the relative proportion of costs that reflect shared services provided by the parent organization is significantly higher than would be expected in the post-conversion period.
