佛罗里达的克利夫兰诊所病人在门诊时面临新的“设施费”,有时花费数百美元。 Cleveland Clinic patients in Florida face new "facility fees" for outpatient visits, sometimes costing hundreds.

在克利夫兰诊所扩大到佛罗里达之后,病人在门诊预约方面面临着意外的“设施费”,传统上是住院费。 After Cleveland Clinic expanded to Florida, patients are facing unexpected "facility fees" for outpatient appointments, traditionally charged for inpatient stays. 由于更多的医生为医院和高减价保险计划工作,这些收费,有时甚至高达数百美元,现在很普遍。 These fees, sometimes reaching hundreds of dollars, are now common due to more doctors working for hospitals and high-deductible insurance plans. 医院索赔这些费用支持较高的护理水平,而保险人则认为这些费用会膨胀。 Hospitals claim these fees support higher care levels, while insurers argue they inflate costs. 为了避免意外,病人应事先询问收费情况,并要求作出善意的估计。 To avoid surprises, patients should ask about fees beforehand and request a good-faith estimate.
