Bowie hospital sale is still on says CEO
Bowie Hospital Authority officials say despite some new obstacles they were hit with this week, the pending sale to the Hashmi group is still on.
For the second time in a week, the board cancelled a meeting where the sales agreement was scheduled for action. Chief Executive Officer Lynn Heller said the Wednesday meeting was
cancelled after they received a settlement letter from Medicare stating the hospital owed $435,000 from uncompensated care reimbursement in 2012.
“Wednesday was a terrible day. The outside auditor didn’t submit the proper figures for the Medicare report, but they went ahead and sent the report anyway. They also did not inform us, so it has come back to haunt us,” said Heller.
The auditor is going to appeal the report on behalf of the hospital and the CEO said they don’t anticipate any problems. The Hashmi Group also indicates they are still ready to proceed forward with the sale. Read the full story in the weekend News.
