Bell commented that he thinks MCHD will fare well in the future because it has a critical-access hospital designation, which means that it receives cost-based reimbursement, meaning it is reimbursed for its actual costs in treating Medicaid and Medicare patients...at least through 2014.

Blauer said the defibrillators are now avail able for around $40,500, only around $600 above what the district has cur rently, which would elimi nate the need for further grants or loans.
