A method for reducing a local hospital's complications and cost of providing extended medical treatment to hospitalized aliens. Under current regulations, indigent aliens needing expensive long-term medical care are often treated in a local hospital for the duration of that care because the alien cannot be lawfully discharged. The alien is trapped in a hospital distant from the alien's home and the hospital loses money. The invention solves these problems by the hospital paying an agency medically qualified to accept the alien, arranging for a lawfully plan of treatment in the alien's home country, the hospital lawfully discharging the alien into the agency's care, transporting and discharging the alien to a foreign health care provider's care. The local hospital pays all costs but realizes savings over its cost of providing the care itself in the host country. |
