Medical Debt is High for Patients, But Hospitals Still Thrive.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metro Area has the highest rates of medical debt in America.
Tarrant County (Fort Worth) is the highest with 27% of adults having medical debt.
Dallas County is the second highest with 23%.
The median medical debt in these two counties is $1,000.
Texas' overall high uninsured rate of 18% is a major contributor to these two counties ranking the highest.
One might think the local hospital would be suffering given the high level of uninsured patients and medical debt.
Think AGAIN!
Dallas-Fort Worth hospitals have higher operating margins ranging from 6%-12%... mostly above the national average of 6%.
Watch the video to learn why this contradiction exists.
