TO: | Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1730 by Gallegos (Relating to reimbursements to certain urban hospitals under the disproportionate share program.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission to revise the rules concerning reimbursements under the Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program. The commission indicates that the bill would have no fiscal impact to state owned or operated hospitals, and therefore would have no significant fiscal impact to the state. However, the bill would impact the DSH distribution formula for non-state owned or operated hospitals, potentially resulting in a DSH revenue gain to some hospitals and a DSH revenue loss to other hospitals.
Non-state owned or operated hospitals could lose or gain DHS revenue based on the provisions of the bill.
