METHODOLOGY:
This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to increase the Medicaid reimbursement rate for facility-based birthing services provided at hospitals by 25 percent in the aggregate. The bill further provides the commissioner with the discretion to implement the increase to adjust for access risk geographically, provided that no hospital receives less than a 20 percent increase. The Department states that in FY21, it provided funding for 6,366 instances of birthing services provided at hospitals. Assuming a similar number of cases in future years, the Department expects this bill to increase expenditures by approximately $4.8 million per year, of which half will be state general funds and half will be matching federal funds. The Department also notes that by revising hospital birthing center rates, the bill may have an indeterminable impact on Medicaid Enhancement Tax Revenue as well as Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH, also known as uncompensated care) payments.
