AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a new "Large Physician Organizations Assessment" that will proportionally assess up to $20 million in funds from independent, non-profit physician organizations with more than 500 members. The assessment will be used to increase annual allotments to the Community Hospital Reinvestment Trust Fund, which provides funding to community hospitals. The bill exempts non-profit, large physician organizations from the assessment if their percentage of gross charges reimbursed by the state Medicaid office is 15% or greater of their total charges. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services is required to adopt rules and regulations to implement the assessment and increase funding to the Trust Fund within 90 days of the bill's passage.
