Bill Summary
This bill would exempt a specialty heart hospital from the .53 percent total operating revenue assessment if the hospital certifies to the Department of Health and the Department of Banking and Insurance that it waives any right to bill any patient directly for health care services provided by the hospital. The 0.53 percent assessment currently generates approximately $120 million in total revenue for the State annually, dedicated to the Health Care Subsidy Fund. This fund supports State expenditures to subsidize federally qualified health centers, charity care, NJ FamilyCare, and other health care programs.
