Making payments for services provided by a rural emergency hospital subject to appropriation.

Summary

SB 6103 changes how Washington pays for care delivered by rural emergency and critical‑access hospitals. Payments to eligible Medicaid recipients are tied to the amount appropriated by the legislature and follow new cost‑based or value‑based formulas. The law also creates a pilot program to test alternative payment methods for these hospitals.
