Carilion and charity care
Carilion Clinic appears to have taken criticism about its bad debt policies to heart. After a Roanoke Times article last year detailed Carilion's extensive efforts to collect unpaid medical bills even from patients who should have qualified for charity care, the nonprofit hospital appears to have re-examined its policies and looked for better ways to provide for those who can't afford care while collecting from those who can.
In an editorial for later in the week, we'll praise those changes.
