Hospital Quality Incentive Amendments

Summary

SB 305 changes the way Utah calculates annual fees that hospitals pay for Medicaid services, using a uniform rate based on discharge numbers. It creates a special fund to use part of those fees for quality‑improvement programs and to help Medicaid accountable care organizations pay hospitals. The changes aim to keep hospital services accessible and raise care quality for Medicaid patients.
