HR 5064

The Save Our Safety-Net Hospitals Act of 2025 aims to increase funding for hospitals that serve a disproportionately high number of low-income and uninsured patients under the Medicaid program. It modifies existing rules about how these hospitals receive payments, allowing them to potentially receive larger adjustments if they incur significant costs. The bill also provides a mechanism for states to use unspent Medicaid funds from previous years to boost these payments, subject to certain limitations. Finally, it grants states temporary authority to retroactively adjust their Medicaid plans to accommodate these increased payments.
