2015 House Bill 5014

Extend Medicaid health insurance claims tax

Introduced in the House

Oct. 22, 2015

Introduced by Rep. Martin Howrylak (R-41)

To repeal the 2017 sunset on a 6 percent tax on the managed care health care providers (hospitals) that provide most Medicaid services, which is designed to “game” the federal Medicaid program in ways that result in higher federal payments to Michigan’s medical welfare establishment (including those same hospitals).

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
