An act relating to the Green Mountain Care Board’s regulatory duties and hospital budget reviews

This bill requires Vermont's Green Mountain Care Board to evaluate hospital budgets by considering spending across all health care providers to improve system-wide coordination and price regulation. It would create a new analyst position on the Board's finance team and fund at least two independent annual audits to monitor compliance with budget orders and support accounting oversight. The legislation aims to help the Board identify ways to control health care spending growth and report on affordability, access, and quality in the state's health care system.
