One Camden resident was admitted 113 times in one year, Brenner found. Another was admitted 324 times over the five-year period. The most expensive patient cost $3.5 million over five years. Overall, the city’s three hospitals were paid $46 million to care for these top users, most of it from government insurance and New Jersey charity care.
