As an occupational therapist, Molly’s favorite parts of her career are the people she gets to serve and the relationships she develops with her clients. She learns what is most important to them and uses a collaborative approach to improve their functional independence.
Molly grew up in Carlos, MN, and received her Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. During her 3-month clinical rotation in Occupational Therapy at GRHS, she knew she wanted to stay. Molly was beyond impressed with the teamwork and how therapists make sessions meaningful and enjoyable for patients. She joined the Glacial Ridge Health System team in 2020.
Molly enjoys kayaking, fishing, biking, raising beef cattle, and remaining active in agriculture.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
