An Act To Amend Titles 16 And 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Hospital Quality Assessments And Establishment Of A Hospital Quality And Health Equity Fund And Hospital Quality And Health Equity Assessment Commission. [SB-13]
Healthcare facility assessments are currently the second largest source of funding for states shares of Medicaid costs, behind general funds. Today, 49 states have at least one facility assessment in place, including Delaware, while 34 states and Washington D.C. have 3 or more provider taxes. Delaware is one of only 6 states without a facility assessment on hospitals, causing the state to miss out on critical Medicaid funding that most states are already able to access.
