Introduced Text

Massachusetts H1363 extends enhanced Medicaid benefits to eligible hospitals.

Massachusetts H1363 directs the secretary of health and human services to provide monthly payments to eligible hospitals. These payments, which cannot exceed $35,000,000 annually, equal 5% of the hospital's average monthly Medicaid payments for inpatient and outpatient acute hospital services from the preceding year. The bill specifies that these enhanced Medicaid payments should not be used in future calculations of average monthly payments and should not offset existing Medicaid payments.
