University of Virginia Library

5.6% Increase

The University's increase
amounts to 5.6 per cent,
although a 6 per cent increase
in total per diem cost is
permitted under the guidelines.

If no daily increases were
made, hospital officials say, the
University would stand to lose
approximately $800,000 this
year from all third party
programs.

The last daily health care
rate increase at the University
was made in July 1972.
