[Saturday, December 21, 2024]

 The Department of Human Services (Department) is providing final notice of its funding allocation for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 to establish new classes of supplemental payments for qualifying hospitals and discontinue certain disproportionate share hospital payments and supplemental payments.

 The Department published notice of its intent to allocate funding for new payments and discontinue certain payments at 54 Pa.B. 3848 (July 6, 2024).

The changes appeared on the State Plan pages submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and approved on October 17, 2024.

 The Department received no public comments during the 30-day comment period and will implement the payments set forth in the notice of intent and as previously noted.

Fiscal Impact

 The FY 2024-2025 impact, as a result of the funding allocation for these payments, is $45.423 million in total funds.
