Michael MazurGUEST
As a matter of fact, I'm looking out the window right now.
Michael MazurGUEST
I can see the hospital, Memorial Hermann across the street, I-10.
Michael MazurGUEST
I can give you a very good outlook on how the traffic is moving on the west side of Houston.
Michael MazurGUEST
But the fact of the matter is there's a lot of clients out there an hour away is that's big for them, right? It's tough.
Justin WhiteGUEST
I'm going to mention these briefly.
Justin WhiteGUEST
Memorial Hermann, they are not going to stay in the Medicare Advantage space.
Justin WhiteGUEST
Okay, they're still taking all the commercial insurance and they're operating as that great iconic hospital.
Justin WhiteGUEST
But their Medicare Advantage is going to be phased out as of December 31st.
Melanie EvansCORRESPONDENT
It's when these hospitals are choosing to screen people for financial aid.
Melanie EvansCORRESPONDENT
And Dan, what we found is just one hospital system, Memorial Hermann, with 13 hospitals, say they screen patients before they send a bill.
Dan GorensteinHOST
Okay.
Dan GorensteinHOST
Just this one health system says it screens before they send patients a bill.

Tom OliversonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is clear to me that there is an absolute need for legislative reform.
Dan GorensteinHOST
Tom continues to push this bill because of what happens to people like Becca Wahl in Houston.
Dan GorensteinHOST
A few days after Becca got hit with her $38,000 bill to treat her concussion, the hospital, Memorial Hermann, reached out.
Dan GorensteinHOST
They dropped her bill to $11,000, said she could do a payment plan, 1,000 bucks a month.
MatthewAUDIENCE
What happened, I, I ran into a friend of mine I went to high school with.
MatthewAUDIENCE
I hadn't seen him in, like, 25 years I started telling him about my heart pump and he worked with a guy that was at Memorial Hermann and just had a transplant.
MatthewAUDIENCE
So I became friends with that guy, and after about six months he gave me all the contacts to Dallas, 'cause he said he was going up there, but he got his transplant before.
MatthewAUDIENCE
So I went to Dallas.
Seth MartinHOST
You might have heard of it.
Seth MartinHOST
MD Anderson and the UT Medical Center and Memorial Hermann.
Seth MartinHOST
These are all, you know, world-renowned medical institutions.
Seth MartinHOST
And this guy works for MD Anderson that I'm sitting next to.
Missi HackmanGUEST
We were in Houston.
Missi HackmanGUEST
I went to Memorial Hermann, which is a good hospital for brain injuries from what I've learned over the years.
Missi HackmanGUEST
And I was brought there.
Missi HackmanGUEST
I did not have a brain bleed.
Ken YondaGUEST
Well, it depends on which hospital you're talking about.
Ken YondaGUEST
If you're one of the big hospitals in Houston, like Methodist or Memorial Hermann, then you probably have the cash reserves to weather this for a month or two.
Ken YondaGUEST
The ones that I worry the most about are the rural hospitals, because they also participate in these programs.
Ken YondaGUEST
And they usually don't have the cash reserves that a large hospital system has.

Kelly WisnessHOST

Dan LiebermanGUEST
And City Hall is telling you right now, as individual doctors, you should be in an ASC.
Dan LiebermanGUEST
The idea, I get it, but when you look at what Methodist or Memorial Hermann is able to negotiate, if they don't contract with BUCA, Blue Cross United, Cigna, Aetna, Health Net, or Humana, then their patients are going to be in those ERs every single night.
Dan LiebermanGUEST
They have leverage.
Dan LiebermanGUEST
You don't as a single standalone hospital.
Miguel Montero-BakerHOST
On paper, it does sound like there is something interesting, especially if you consider that you're going to live outside of networks and you attach it to the ED and you work primarily ED cases.
Miguel Montero-BakerHOST
So think of a micro hospital that feeds only out through their ED.
Miguel Montero-BakerHOST
They build their ED volume in a small community where there's not a big competitor like Memorial Hermann or Houston Methodist.
Miguel Montero-BakerHOST
And then, you know, most people go there.
