Increased Funding for Hospitals in Noncontiguous States
This bill increases funding for hospitals and medical facilities located in states not contiguous with the continental United States, such as Hawaii or Alaska. This means residents in these regions can expect better access to healthcare, as hospitals will receive more money for services provided, helping them maintain and expand operations.
Key points
Hospitals in noncontiguous states (e.g., Hawaii, Alaska) will receive 105% of the standard rate for inpatient, outpatient, ambulance, and skilled nursing facility services.
These funding changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, aiming to improve the financial stability and quality of services provided by these facilities.
