Supplemental Payments to Qualifying Hospitals

[50 Pa.B. 2064]
[Saturday, April 11, 2020]

 The Department of Human Services (Department) is providing final notice of its funding allocation of annualized funds beginning Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020 for supplemental payments to qualifying hospitals located in counties in which a significant percentage of the county's population is enrolled in the Medical Assistance Program. The Department is not otherwise changing the payment methodology for these payments.

 The Department published notice of its intent to allocate funding for these payments at 49 Pa.B. 3543 (July 6, 2019). The fiscal impact in the intent notice correctly stated the amounts of the Department's allocation; how-ever, there was an error in the eligibility criteria. The Department is correcting the eligibility criteria requirements in this final notice.

 Eligibility requirement number 3) under ''Qualifying Criteria'' published in the intent notice read, in part, ''less than'' when the criteria should have read ''greater than.'' The correct qualifying criteria appeared on page 21gg of State Plan Attachment 4.19A in the corresponding State Plan Amendment.

Fiscal Impact

 Beginning with FY 2019-2020, the Department will allocate an annualized amount of $95.309 million in total funds for these supplemental payments.

TERESA D. MILLER,
