Gentleman:
In accordance to the City of Lodi Code Section 2A-3, we
are filing a 30 day notice to change and modification of our rates.
We are submitting this letter for a change in the way we
bill for our services. In todays mannor, we must change with the
requirement of the government programs so we are able to serve
the people in our community.
In revamping the way we charge for services, dropping 32 now
charged items, and ad.'J:ug three new charges that the government
programs understand. Having each area of service recover the
cost of that service. Only the patient receiving such service
would be charged for that service.
As you know, the State of California in their Medical Program
greatly reduced the revenue to the Hospital. We also received cuts
from the State payments that equal 20% of the bill; as of 1/1/82,
we no longer receive those funds from the State. Also, we have
indications that there is a 10% across the board reduction on all
Payments from the State in the near future.

With these losses of revenue and increased number of
governmental agencies placing requirements upon our operation,
coupled with today% inflation it is necessary to increase the
cost to the patient.
These Increases would enable ourselves to continue a high
quality of service for the people of our community. Be
assured, we are doing everything possible to hold all increases
to as little as possible. without jeopardizing patient care.
If you have any questions, please contact myself at
our office.
