Definición

  • Uncompensated healthcare is care provided by physicians, hospitals, and other medical personnel pro bono, a shortened form of pro bono publico, a Latin phrase meaning “for the public good.” In 2008, about 47 million Americans lack health insurance coverage, and many of the uninsured are indigent. Their only health services come from physicians, hospitals, and other medical personnel who provide uncompensated healthcare pro bono.
