Relates to plans for safety net hospitals to increase revenue

This bill (A 4748) requires designated "safety net hospitals" to submit annual plans to the state health department outlining specific strategies to increase revenue. Safety net hospitals are defined as public hospitals, critical access hospitals, or facilities serving high percentages of Medicaid, uninsured, or dual-eligible patients (e.g., 35% outpatient volume or 30% inpatient volume). The plan must detail concrete actions like attracting private insurance patients, retaining patients moving from Medicaid to private insurance, offering profitable procedures, enrolling eligible patients in Medicaid, collecting payments from able-to-pay patients, and developing underutilized land. The law mandates annual follow-up reports to track progress toward these revenue goals.
