The hospital doesn't directly receive money for work done. In many cases they get paid for a procedure done by a doctor, but don't get paid for the exact same procedure done by a resident, so it matters who does the work because that directly affects revenue.

They still bill a healthy profit on the procedure done by the resident by way of room fees, equipment fees, lab fees, imaging fees, diagnostic fees, nursing care fees, PT fees, and so forth.
