Gov. Reeves announces payment initiatives for Mississippi hospitals
SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has announced Medicaid reimbursement reforms that are expected to generate $700 million for hospitals in the state. The reforms include two hospital payment initiatives: the Mississippi Hospital Access Program (MHAP) and supplemental Medicaid base payment rates. The MHAP will provide direct payments to hospitals serving Medicaid patients, reimbursing them near the average commercial rate. The supplemental payments will reimburse inpatient and outpatient hospital services up to the Medicare upper payment limit. The reforms aim to provide long-term funding for Mississippi hospitals and will have a significant impact on their bottom line. The proposals are awaiting approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
