A 6294 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes changes to how uniform gross receipts assessment are charged to ambulatory care facilities.

This bill increases the per hospital admission fee from $10 to $12.50, effective July 1, 2025, for specific hospitals including general acute care, rehabilitation, long-term acute care, and non-public psychiatric facilities. The revenue funds health planning activities and creates a supplemental "Safety Net Graduate Medical Education" fund. Eligible hospitals receive payments based on their Medicaid patient mix, calculated using 2016 cost report data to determine their share of graduate medical education funding. The bill updates existing assessment rules under P.L.1992, c.160, without altering hospital services or patient care requirements.
