EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Tulane Medical Center's (the hospital) expenses presented
in its congressional testimony were generally accurate and supported by its
financial records. However, the hospital’s revenue as described in the
testimony for the first 5 months of 2007 did not include $6 million of revenue
that it received during this period. We conducted this review at the request of
the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, before which the hospital testified
at a hearing on August 1, 2007.
The hospital agreed with the overall results of our review and provided
clarifying comments concerning the $6 million of revenue not included in the
testimony. This was an informational report, and we had no recommendations.
