I don't think so ..... billing costs are a small percentage of the overall bill. I would much rather have to bill $75,000 dollars than just $3,000.
By your logic you would rather have a slow Arbys than a busy McDonalds because paperwork would be less.

However I'll ask the same question when my dog had cancer surgery for less than half of putting a few stitches in a human.
I guess my point is that the billing and administration departments for hospitals are huge. Those people cost money. When people don't pay their bills, those salaries have to be made up too and all of that helps add to the cost of higher medical bills.
