"Healthcare Finance Enhancement Act."

The Healthcare Finance Enhancement Act modifies New Jersey's assessment system for healthcare facilities. It reduces the ambulatory care facility assessment rate from 2.95% to 2.5% beginning in Fiscal Year 2026, eliminates the exemption for surgical practices from this assessment starting in FY 2026, and extends the 2.5% rate to all ambulatory care facilities beginning in FY 2027. The bill also increases the hospital per adjusted admission charge from $10 to $12.50 effective July 1, 2025, and extends this charge to non-public psychiatric hospitals. These changes will affect ambulatory care facilities, hospitals, and the Department of Health, with assessment revenues continuing to fund the Health Care Subsidy Fund.
