MediCorp’s money-makers
MediCorp Health System’s new audit can be mined to show which of its businesses were money-makers for the company and which were not. Not surprisingly, the biggest money-maker was also its largest operation, Mary Washington Hospital.
The hospital’s 2008 operating income of $25 million represented about 98 percent of MediCorp’s total income. Other businesses under the MediCorp umbrella also made money, but their operating incomes were offset by the businesses that lost money. (Income, in the words of Sean Barden, chief financial officer for the company, is the “money that’s left over after the bills get paid. “)
The businesses that made money and their operating incomes were:
Mary Washington Hospital: $25,114,250
Medical Imaging of Fredericksburg: $7,434,026
Fredericksburg Ambulatory Surgery Center: $2,397,822
Fredericksburg Professional Risk Exchange (MediCorp’s insurance company) : $1,584,273
Mary Washington Hospital Foundation: $978,167
Tompkins Martin Medical Plaza: $561,486
Stafford Hospital Center Foundation: $327,045
MediCorp Health Services (the home health agency and Homecare, a retail store) : $299,070
The money-losing businesses and their operating losses were:
MediDoctors Holding Company (the company-owned physician practices): $4,295,317
Stafford Hospital Center (start-up, opened in 2009): $2,929,030
Virginia Cardiovascular Services: $1,606,299
Virginia Urgent Care (start-up for new urgent-care clinics): $224,874
Snowden at Fredericksburg: $37,341
