Private Hospital Assessments and Medicaid Funding Program Continues Indefinitely
Previously, there was a 'sunset clause' in the law that would have ended the private hospital assessment program for Medicaid funding after a certain date. This proposed bill would remove this sunset clause, meaning the program will continue indefinitely without an automatic expiration date. Hospitals and state Medicaid programs are affected by this change as it ensures ongoing financial support through assessments on private hospitals. The exact effective date is not specified.
The program was set to automatically end due to a sunset clause in the law.
