Authorization for Settlement, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago

(40) The chancellor at Chicago recommends payment to Foster McGaw Hospital of Loyola University of Chicago in settlement of charges related to the care of Mohammad Feroz. Mr. Feroz is a University of Illinois at Chicago student and member of the UI HMO and was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma requiring a bone-marrow transplant. The University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics (UIH&C) does not offer this service. McGaw Hospital provides the specialized treatment prescribed for the patient by the oncologist at UIH&C. Pursuant to an operational understanding with UI HMO, UIH&C has assumed this responsibility. Total charges related to the care of Mr. Feroz at McGaw Hospital are expected to total no more than $350,000. Charges to date total $281,206. This represents approximately a 25 percent discount on charges and has been determined to be mutually acceptable and is considered equitable to both institutions. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance recommends approval. I concur.

On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Mr. Boyle, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Huff, Mr. Riley; no, none.)

The latter term designates funds received by the University under contracts with the United States government, private corporations, and other organizations; grants from foundations, corporations, and other donors; and University revolving funds authorized by law. The total amounts of these purchases were: From Appropriated Funds Recommended From Institutional Funds Authorized Recommended Grand Total % 92 290 4 227 984 4 320 274 $4 400 274 $ 80 000
