Save our Safety-Net Hospitals Act of 2025
This bill changes Medicaid payment rules to provide more financial support for safety-net hospitals - those serving high numbers of low-income patients. It allows states to use unspent federal funds from prior years to increase payments to these hospitals, without exceeding the overall annual funding cap. States cannot recoup payments already made to hospitals under older rules, and must report any increased payments in their annual Medicaid reports. The changes apply to payments for Medicaid plan years starting after the bill's enactment.
