Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of providing Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals for administrative days. Following its review, DHS shall work with relevant stakeholders to develop and submit a report including findings, options and criteria for reimbursement, and the estimated costs associated with providing such reimbursement to the governor and the general assembly by December 15, 2022. Under the bill, an “administrative day” means an inpatient stay day during which a Medicaid-eligible individual no longer meets medical necessity criteria for acute hospital care and is awaiting placement in a nursing facility or other subacute or post-acute care.
