Hospital Assessment Initiative
Act 49 of 2010 authorized the Department of Human Services (DHS) to impose a statewide hospital assessment on the net inpatient revenue of all Pennsylvania licensed acute care hospitals (with some exclusions) as of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2013. Act 55 of 2013 reauthorized the statewide hospital assessment for an additional three years, July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016, and Act 92 of 2015 reauthorized the statewide hospital assessment from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. Act 40 of 2018 has now reauthorized the statewide hospital assessment through June 30, 2023.The assessment raises a significant amount of revenue that has enabled the commonwealth to maintain an updated inpatient payment system, to make changes to existing disproportionate share payments and supplemental payments, and to create new payments where applicable. DHS has worked in collaboration with the Hospital and Health System Association of Pennsylvania to develop the assessment model.
