I am interested to know which departments in full service hospitals are very profitable, and which struggle or are a loss?

I am thinking about this, because I don’t understand why a sprain on a Saturday at an emergency room costs $700 to treat, but at an urgent care facility is $150. The overhead of the ER and the overhead of the urgent care is not that different is it? Made me wonder if the hospital uses the ER as a huge profit center to carry other parts of the hospital?
