Rhode Island H7875 mandates the incorporation of uncompensated care as a formula-driven numeric adjustment in hospital contract rate caps starting.

Rhode Island H7875 amends the Rhode Island Health Care Reform Act of 2004 to charge the office of the health insurance commissioner with incorporating uncompensated care as a formula-driven numeric adjustment in the methodology used to establish any affordability standard or rate cap, applicable to hospital contracts. This adjustment is to be applied as an additive to any existing rate cap or affordability standard methodology in effect as of January 1, 2026, and must be calculated separately from any base rate cap.
