Bill Summary
A RESOLUTION To memorialize Congress and urge the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to reconsider any policies that may lead to reductions in Medicaid funding for hospitals in Louisiana.
AI Summary
This resolution memorializes Congress and urges the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to avoid reducing Medicaid funding that could negatively impact hospitals in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the critical role hospitals play in providing healthcare services, especially in rural and medically underserved areas, and emphasizes that potential funding reductions could lead to service cutbacks, staff reductions, or hospital closures. It specifically calls on federal agencies to approve pending Louisiana State Directed Payment Preprints for hospital and physician payments and maintain current Medicaid funding levels. The resolution underscores the importance of hospitals as economic contributors and essential healthcare providers, particularly for vulnerable populations like the elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses. Furthermore, it requests that Congress, HHS, and CMS collaborate with state officials, healthcare providers, and community stakeholders to develop solutions that address healthcare needs without compromising hospital financial stability. As a final step, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to key federal officials, including the President, Vice President, congressional leaders, and Louisiana's congressional delegation.
