Medical Assistance
Under current law, DHS administers the Medical Assistance (MA) program, which provides health services to individuals who have limited resources. One of the benefits that MA provides is hospital care, and therefore DHS reimburses certain hospitals for the care provided to MA recipients. In addition to those reimbursements, DHS currently makes supplemental payments to certain hospitals, including essential access city hospitals. This bill eliminates the supplemental payments from the MA program to essential access city hospitals.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 49.45 (6x) of the statutes is repealed.
