Missouri study finds hospitals still face slow claims payment

Kansas City Business Journal, January 6, 2010

About 20% of the claims that Kansas City-area hospitals had submitted to insurers were at least 90 days past due in the middle of last year, according to a report by the Missouri Department of Insurance. The statewide average was about 26%, according to the study, which Gov. Jay Nixon mandated in a Sept. 11 executive order.
