The Boston f.lnhe Monday, May 11. 13 Private Patients Carry Burden of Charity Costs tinue to shoulder all these count is not fair because they have to make it up by charging private patients more than costs and that is why he is Baruch Giving Papers To Princeton for Study Open your account today at the PRINCETON, N.J. (LTD Financier and elder statesman There are only two places where this money can come from. Either it has to be contributed by all patients or the state will have to pay the full cost of caring f6r welfare patients, he says. The state is not about to pay the full cost for welfare patients, although it did boost the rates for 1964.

Dr. Knowles believes this issue is so important he will fight it out right down the line. He believes the freedom and excellence of the private voluntary hospital system is demanding such payments with a threat to cancel Blue Cross out at the MGH. Blue Cross brought in S5.5 million revenue to MGH last year. The contract expires Sept 30.

Dr. Knowles is threatening to take the matter to court if he cannot get relief from the Legislature. Part of the cost of free care at M.G.H. is the difference between what the state allows for -i their fair share. Higher charges also are made to commercial insurance company patients.

Actually Blue Cross patients do help to pay some of these costs because while Blue Cross itself gets a discount, the patient does not get a discount on what he pays himself. For example if his Blue Cross policy covers half the cost, the hospital would not allow the discount on the part the patient pays out of his own Charlrstoron Savings jFJ Bank. threatened by the squeeze be would be available to qualified students, scholars and researchers. choice of Princeton has been dictated not only by my confidence in the use which it will make of these papers, but, also, by the association which Princeton and I share with Woodrow Wilson," Baruch said. President Goheen also announced plans to establish at Princeton a renter for studies in 20th Century American statecraft and pirblic policy.

The center is intended to encourage research and teaching in the development of American public policy with special emphasis on the study of such tween what it costs to take care of charity patients and BLUE CROSS Continued from Page 1 The row between Blue Cross and the hospitals arose when it was learned that a special commission studying Blue Cross and hospital costs would recommend that Blue Cross payments for subscribers should continue to cover only actual costs for the patients. Blue Cross gets what amounts to a discount from the hospitals. The state approves this discount and the commission is saying in effect that it should continue. The discount arises because the hospitals are not allowed to include in their charges to Blue Cross such items of cost to them as free care, bad debts and charity work. The hospitals, especially the M.G.H., which has a heavy charity load, long have sought to include these costs in figuring what Blue Cross should pay for patient care.

Blue Cross covers half the people in Massachusetts, so the discount is a sizable item running into millions of dollars. The hospitals say the dis what is paid for their care pocket The state has taken the position that Blue Cross should not be responsible for bad debts, free care and charity work because none of these are caused by Blue Cross. Bernard M. Baruch, 93, is presenting his private papers to Princeton University, Princeton Pres. Robert F.

Goheen announced yesterday. The papers cover Barurh's long career which spanned nine presidential administrations and include correspondence with every President from Woodrow Wilson to Lyndon Johnson. "They touch on diverse aspects of the political and economic history of America in this century and are especially valuable on the story of the mobilization of men, money and materiel in both world wars and the Korean war," Goheen said. Baruch said he was giving his papers to Princeton so they welfare patients ($40.60) and what such patients cost the hospital It is this $7.40 a day loss, he says, that Blue Cross should help to meet. Dr.

Knowles, in testifying before the special commission, said a number of times that more than $2 million had to be obtained from private patients beyond their own costs to help meet the free care load. BERNARD M. BARUCH Blue Cross rates already are high, however, and the prospects are they will have to be increased before too many months just to meet the charges for subscribers.

posits. to the hospitals to make sure they don't have bad debts and not expect Blue Cross to help meet them when they occur. Dr. John H. Knowles, director of M.G.H., says on the other hand that since Blue Cross covers half the people in the state, and the number covered is increasing, this does not leave too many private patients to absorb the costs of free work and bad debts.
