Illinois Extends Hospital Assessment Program
Illinois is extending its Hospital Assessment Program. Governor Pritzker signed a bill yesterday that extends and expands the program through 2026. The legislation helps ensure cash-flow predictability for hospitals, tying greater funding to higher Medicaid utilization to protect safety net hospitals. The measure also reclassifies certain hospitals to better align with payment and Medicaid needs, as well as offering tax exemptions and waivers to help hospitals recover from the effects of COVID-19.
