HANOVER — The rural hospital that Dr. Roger Warren leads is owed about $140,000 by the three insurance companies the state contracted with to administer Medicaid, and as he walks the halls, Warren is able to point out exactly what that money means to his full-service medical clinic. Hanover Hospital’s updated sprinkler system mandated by new fire regulations was about $80,000. In the lab, there’s the Envoy 500 blood testing machine he bought in 2012 for $30,000. In the small cafeteria that serves residents of the hospital’s skilled nursing wing, there’s an industrial dishwasher that cost about $20,000.
