Assessment of the hospital surcharge temporarily stopped.
This bill temporarily suspends the hospital surcharge that Minnesota hospitals must pay to the state's medical assistance account. It amends existing state law to prohibit the 1.4 percent to 1.56 percent fee starting July 1, 2026, through July 1, 2027. The surcharge applies to most Minnesota hospitals but excludes federal Indian Health Service facilities and regional treatment centers. The change is set to take effect immediately upon final enactment of the legislation.
