Relative to surcharges assessed by acute hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure parity in assessments by the Health Safety Net Trust Fund. It expands the definition of "payments subject to surcharge" to include not only acute hospitals, but also ambulatory surgical centers, urgent care clinics, and limited services clinics. This means that these additional healthcare providers will be required to assess a surcharge on payments they receive, which will be deposited into the Health Safety Net Trust Fund. The bill also establishes mechanisms for determining and paying the surcharge, including requirements for data submission by the different types of healthcare providers and payors.
