HB 81 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Hospital supplemental payments-statutory fix.

HB 81 updates Wyoming's Private Hospital Assessment Act to expand eligibility for hospital payment assistance. It adds healthcare providers affiliated with hospitals and psychiatric residential treatment facilities (owned/operated by hospitals) to the definition of "hospital services," allowing them to participate in the assessment program. The bill increases administrative fees, sets a maximum 1% annual assessment rate increase, and allocates $3.85 million from hospital assessments plus $3.85 million in federal funds for provider payments during FY2023-2024. These changes aim to align state Medicaid payments with federal requirements and ensure continued access to hospital services for Medicaid beneficiaries.
