But the hospitals are already getting $38,000 per COVID patient, aren’t they?

I think the amount is a little less than that, but all that is, is what Medicare will pay for the treatment of a covid patient. It is NOT a bounty. Medicare does exactly the same thing for fractures, sinus infections, rashes, whatever.

That’s not really clear to me, it could be that dollar amount represents the 20% add-on. The info I was looking through didn’t refer to a specific $, just the % add-on.
