Description

Authorizes the expansion of Medicaid on October 1, 2018, to non-elderly adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. This action results in over 300,000 Virginians gaining access to health care. This coverage expansion will reduce indigent care costs for hospitals across the Commonwealth, resulting in improvements to their financial condition, especially for rural hospitals. As such, the cost of this expansion will be covered by an assessment on the net patient revenue of private acute care hospitals operating in Virginia. This proposed expansion of Medicaid will allow Virginia to achieve significant savings as new Medicaid funding will supplant state-supported indigent care costs, services provided by Community Services Boards, and inpatient hospital costs for incarcerated individuals. The estimated general fund savings to the Commonwealth is approximately $152.0 million in FY 2019 and $269.7 million in FY 2020. CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
