Washington HB2300 establishes an assessment program for employers with workers enrolled in state medical assistance programs.

HB2300 creates the Apple Health Corporate Assessment Program, requiring employers with workers enrolled in state medical assistance programs to reimburse the state for health care costs. The Health Care Authority determines the assessment value each quarter, and the Department of Employment Security calculates and collects the assessments. Employers failing to pay assessments face civil penalties and interest. The program aims to improve state financing of public health care programs and reduce taxpayer burden.
