Provider Notice issued 06/11/10

2011 Assessment Payment Schedule Public Act 096-0821

Re:​ 2011 Assessment Payment Schedule Public Act 096-0821​

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 096-0821, signed by Governor Quinn on November 20, 2009, the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services will be accelerating the schedule of payments required in 305 ILCS 5/5A-12.2. The payment schedule and the number of months represented by the payments are outlined below.

 

July 8, 2010 - 25% of the annual payment amount

August 9, 2010 - 25% of the annual payment amount

September 10, 2010 -25% of the annual payment amount

October 12, 2010 - 25% of the annual payment amount

 

(Actual amounts may vary due to rounding)

The payment schedule outlined above represents the full liability recognized by the State, for Fiscal Year 2011, as outlined in 305 ILCS 5/5A-2.

It is important that hospitals prepare their cash management plans in accordance with this schedule, as there will be no additional payments, resulting from this provision of law, during State Fiscal year 2011.

The department will also modify the tax collection schedule outlined in 305 ILCS 5/5A-4, pursuant to the authority granted in 5A-4(a-5). Your facility will soon be receiving your annual tax remittance notification and schedule. It is important that all hospital providers carefully read this notification and comply with the schedule outlined for your facility. All normal recourse associated with failure to pay timely is still applicable and will be enforced.

As always, should a provider become ineligible during any part of the balance of State fiscal year 2011, adjustments to the annual amounts under 305 ILCS 5/5A-2 and 5A-4 will be made, and the provider will be notified of its net liability or refund.

Your cooperation and patience with this process is appreciated. If you have questions about this process, please refer to the contact information below for the appropriate issue.
