2013 Senate Bill 5913: Concerning a hospital safety net assessment and quality incentive program for increased hospital payments

Extends the HSNA program. The safety net assessment and the Fund will be phased down in equal increments over a six-year period starting in FY 2014 until the amounts are zero by the end of FY 2019. The bill specifies the intent of the Legislature: is to impose an HSNA to be used solely for the purposes specified in this act; is to generate approximately $449,338,000 in FY 2014, phasing down in equal increments to zero by the end of FY 2019, in state and federal funds to pay for Medicaid hospital services and grants to CPE hospitals; is to generate $183,067,000 million in the 2013-15 biennium, phasing down to zero by the end of the 2017-19 biennium, in assessment funds per biennium to be used in lieu of state General Fund payments for Medicaid hospital services; is that the total amount assessed must not exceed the amount needed, in combination with all other available funds, to support the payments in this act; and is to condition the assessments on receiving federal approval for receipt of additional federal financial participation and on continuation of other funding sufficient to maintain aggregate payment levels to hospitals for inpatient and outpatient services covered by Medicaid at least at the levels the state paid for those services on July 1, 2009, without the payment increases provided under the original HSNA program.
