Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
Starting Jan. 1, 2027 the Department of Healthcare and Family Services will stop paying Medicaid‑directed amounts for inpatient and outpatient services at public hospitals. Instead, the Department must negotiate intergovernmental agreements with the hospitals’ governing bodies to preserve access in rural areas, and will restore the payments if federal approval is not granted. All other hospital payment calculations, graduate‑medical‑education formulas, and supplemental fee‑for‑service rates remain unchanged.
