Medicaid; exempt Medicare-certified long-term acute hospitals from hospital assessment.

Summary

The bill would amend Mississippi Code § 43‑13‑145 to remove the annual Medicaid assessment that is currently charged to all non‑exempt hospitals for each non‑Medicare inpatient day, but only for Medicare‑certified long‑term acute care hospitals. The exemption would apply only after approval by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It aims to reduce the financial burden on these specialized hospitals while keeping the assessment in place for other facilities.
