Hospitals are reimbursed by Medicare for handling a high level of indigent patients and are also reimbursed for educating interns and residents. When a Medicare patient is covered by a Medicare Replacement Plan (HMO Insurance for medicare patients), the hospital can only get the extra reimbursement for indigent patients and educating intern and residents if they send Medicare a "shadow bill". Basically, it is a copy of the identical bill sent to the HMO which is submitted to Medicare only for the purpose for the extra payment.
