(Reuters) - Community Health Systems Inc, which awaits a shareholder vote this week on its proposed takeover of smaller hospital operator Health Management Associates Inc, said it expects the new U.S. healthcare law to provide a slight boost to 2014 earnings. Community Health, the No. 2 U.S. hospital company behind HCA Holdings Inc, also said it was negotiating an agreement with the U.S. Office of the Inspector General to settle a probe related to allegations of false claims to the federal Medicare program for the elderly and disabled. Community Health said it was setting aside $101.5 million in 2013 to settle those claims and undisclosed issues at a company hospital in Laredo, Texas. For 2013, it said it expects its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to range from $1.825 billion to $1.85 billion, excluding expenses for the settlements and pending purchase of Health Management. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
