At a recent health care meeting, a hospital administrator proudly announced that during the month of February, 99% of people admitted to his hospital were perfectly healthy, yet they were admitted, given hospital care and treatment. Healthcare insurance carriers did not object to this situation and paid every claim in full. Why?

I guess because it was a maternity hospital?
Other options include that the patients came in for plastuc surgery, or gender re-assignment, etc... although you'd have to have a pretty understanding insurance company for this.
This prompted me to think of a subsidiary riddle: At the same meeting, another practitioner bragged that his practice had a 50% mortality rate. That is, 50% of those who came in for treatment lived, and the other 50% died. He correctly claimed that this was a very high success rate. Why?
