The morning after that life-changing phone call, Sandra, along with six supportive family members, headed into Smilow to talk about next steps. “First, Dr. Chagpar hugged me. She comforted me.

  • A Debt Past Due at Yale-New Haven Hospital
    Forward A Debt Past Due is a companion report to Refusing to Care: Why the Yale-New Haven Health System turns away those who can’t pay. Together these reports are the latest examina- tions of the treatment of the uninsured and underinsured within the Yale-New Haven Health System. They were produced for the Hospital Debt Justice Project (HDJP), a joint initiative of the Connecticut Center for a New Economy (CCNE) and the New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1199/SEIU. The HDJP works on behalf of patients whose lives have been adversely affected by the unfair billing and overly aggressive collections practices of the Yale-New Haven Health System, the largest health system in Connecticut. The work of the HDJP developed out of a series of research reports published by CCNE. Previous reports about Yale-New Haven, available online at www.hospitaldebtjustice.org, include: • Uncharitable Care: Yale-New Haven Hospital’s charity care and collections practices • Coming to a Town Near You? Charity and collections at Bridgeport Hospital, member of Yale-New Haven Health • “Yale, Don’t Lien On Me”: The attack on homeownership by the Yale-New Haven Health System and Yale School of Medicine · A Debt Past Due The need for more charity care reform at Yale-New Haven Health EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH), 2003 and 2004 were marked by public investigation of its questionable administration of millions in charity donations and its heartless collection practices against patients who couldn’t afford their hospital bills.1 In the aftermath, the Hospital has sought to salvage its image by portraying itself as a charitable health care provider to all, announcing reforms, denouncing prior criticism, and insisting that all problems have been resolved.
