Bill Summary
Relative to establishing a community health center transformation fund. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a Community Health Center Transformation Fund within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The fund will provide at least $15 million annually to community health centers that demonstrate financial need, as defined by factors such as negative operating margins, insufficient cash flow, high public payer mix, and challenges in meeting staffing needs. The Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services has discretion over the distribution of the funds and may require eligible centers to undergo independent financial and operational audits as a condition of receiving payments from the fund. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services is tasked with promulgating regulations to implement this new program.
