Hospital Rate Reform Initiative
Overview
The Department of Healthcare and Family Services is launching an important initiative to restructure and modernize the payment methodology for Medicaid inpatient and outpatient hospital rates. The sessions will be open forums to discuss the healthcare environment under Illinois’ new Medicaid reform law and the federal Affordable Care Act, key issues related to the current rate structure, a review of rate reform efforts in other states, and principles to incorporate in a new rate methodology. Technical sessions scheduled later will be available via videoconferencing at our offices in Springfield at 201 South Grand Avenue East and Chicago at 401 South Clinton. We will strive to involve stakeholders throughout this process.
