Q: Are hospitals inflating the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths so they can be paid more?
A: Recent legislation pays hospitals higher Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients and treatment, but there is no evidence of fraudulent reporting.
It has been rumored that the hospitals get paid extra for COVID-19 patients. Currently Medicare pays $13,000 when a patient get admitted to the Hospital and $39,000 if they patient gets put on a ventilator. Is there some fraud going on? Where ever there is money there is fraud. But there is no evidence of fraud at this time.

MCA IS CELEBRATING OUR 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH HF 20/20
It has been 20 years since Ocala’s record-breaking public art project and auction, Horse Fever. For five months the public delighted in our herd of 53 horses, many of which still adorn the streets of Ocala. Artists and a generous business community came together to ultimately raise over $1.5 million for the arts and 27 other local charities, founding the Marion Cultural Alliance. We proudly reflect on a 20-year period of growth and consistent support through programming, grants, and scholarships enhancing art and cultural programs across every medium in Ocala/Marion County.
In celebration, we are creating a new artistic opportunity for artists and patrons. You could be among a select group commissioned to paint and embellish a life-sized horse for this celebration of our community.
Regional artists from Florida will be selected to paint and embellish one of 20 horses that will be displayed publicly in early 2021.
Interested in acquiring an anniversary horse? Please contact me or call 352.369.1500.
