The hope is (and I pray it is realized) that hospitals will quit making these preventable errors so there's nothing to bill. These are COMPLETELY avoidable, using hospital guidelines (not to mention basic standards for good medical care), as well as Joint Commission guidelines. Joint Commission accreditation is required for a hospital to be eligible to receive Medicare money anyway.
