Specialty Hospitals Are Back! 8/11

Remember the posts about specialty hospitals? They're back! The moritorium has expired and according to Modern Healthcare, they are back in business.

"Physicians plan to build new hospitals in Indiana and Texas, resurrecting a recent trend of doctors owning hospitals that had flattened during a congressionally mandated moratorium against physician referrals to facilities they own, a moratorium that expired Tuesday."

There are several groups in town that have explored possibilities along that line, and with the possible Medicare cuts January 1st, it might get a harder look by others.
