What impact does bad debt have on healthcare organizations in general

In your initial post, address the following questions on bad debt:

• What impact does bad debt have on healthcare organizations in general?
• How can bad debt impact a healthcare organization’s reputation as a “community” hospital?
• What is the importance of a healthcare organization being recognized as a community hospital?

When responding to your peers, based on their explanations behind the importance of community hospitals, make recommendations for the types of education and support that would be needed in order to help the revenue cycle staff understand the importance of federal regulations and bad debt.
