Bill > A07217

This bill amends the Public Health Law to make adjustments to Medicaid rates for enhanced safety net hospitals and qualified safety net hospitals. It increases Medicaid payments to these hospitals to support critically needed health care services and ensure their continued operation. The bill also provides additional payments to certain public general hospitals for inpatient hospital services. These changes are aimed at supporting the state's safety net and enhanced safety net hospitals, which serve a disproportionate number of Medicaid and uninsured patients.
