New policy could impact UNM Hospital patients

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – University of New Mexico Hospital’s new policy could impact how some of you pay.
UNMH is requiring uninsured, low-income patients to pay 50 percent in advance for non-emergency surgery.
Hospital officials contend no one is denied medically needed non-emergency surgery.
UNMH defers the 50 percent down payment if doctors deem the surgery “medically urgent” under a policy that has remained unchanged for years.
