Cheyenne hospital offering discount on bills

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is offering discounts to patients who pay their bills in full by April 30. People who self-pay on their billing accounts can get 20 percent discounts for paying the remaining balance in full by the deadline, said Kerry Warburton, CRMC's chief financial officer. Higher discounts - possibly as much as 50 percent - could occur on older accounts with larger balances. This year, the discount time runs from Feb. 5 through April 30. So far, about 350 people have participated. CRMC has offered discounts during the tax season for the last five or six years. The process benefits patients and the hospital, Warburton said.
