North Carolina Legislature Approves Hospital Provider Fee

North Carolina legislators have approved a plan to tax hospitals in the state in order to generate funds for the state's Medicaid program, according to an NBC-17 report.

The legislation now moves to Governor Beverly Perdue for approval.

Under the plan, hospitals will pay a $215 million annual assessment, which will be used to draw additional federal matching funds for the Medicaid program. Hospitals will recoup $370 million through reimbursements as a result of the tax, and the state Department of Health and Human Services will receive $43 million, according to the report.
