Introduced
by
To establish a “Michigan Medicaid Quality Assurance Assessment” (MMQAA) program that would impose a new "bed tax" on hospitals, which is designed to allow the state to garner a greater amount of federal Medicaid matching funds. These would be returned to the hospitals in the form of greater Medicaid reimbursement rates, resulting in a net gain for most of them. (For more details on the MMQAA see Senate Bills 1101 and 748, and House Bills 5103, 4373, and 4057.) The bill would also replace in statute the term "health profession specialty field certification" as it applies to dentists, with the term "health profession specialty field license".
Referred to the Committee on Health Policy
