I received this email –

Hey, I am a writer for Business Week Magazine. I am doing research on medical credit scoring – I am using the term loosely – at the point of hospital intake and how it may be affecting care. Love to talk to you about this. Is there a number I can reach you on. My number is 312-233-7944. Thanks, Robert Berner

I had not heard of medical credit scoring.  Apparently it is a method for hospitals to figure out whether or not you are likely to be able to pay prior to admission.  Has anyone heard of this positively or negatively?  Robert Berner would love to talk to anyone who is familiar with this phenomenon.
