Amends FY2026 annual appropriations act to increase Supplemental Graduate Medical Education Subsidy by $496,000 for support to additional acute care hospital.
This bill increases the Supplemental Graduate Medical Education Subsidy by $496,000 in New Jersey's FY2026 budget to fund a 15th acute care hospital with a residency program. It expands eligibility beyond the current 14 hospitals to include the 15th hospital with the highest Medicaid revenue percentage (based on 2023 cost reports), using the same calculation method as existing payments. The $496,000 allocation specifically targets this additional hospital, while the existing 14 hospitals' funding levels remain unchanged. The change aligns the appropriations act with a 2018 law that intended the subsidy to cover the top third of eligible hospitals (now 15 out of 45 hospitals with residency programs).
