  Re:   Fiscal Year 2018 Hospital Inpatient and Outpatient Assessment Programs
           Notice of Assessments

 _______________________________________________________________________________

This is to inform you that the department has determined that your facility is subject to the inpatient and outpatient assessments imposed on Illinois hospital inpatient and outpatient services under the provisions of 305 ILCS 5/5-A.

Enclosed are FY 2018 Hospital Assessment remittance notices for July through December 2017, reflecting the increase to the inpatient and outpatient assessments per Public Act 99-0516.   

The remittance notices reflect the Inpatient and Outpatient assessments due previously for the month plus the ACA increase for the month. The increased assessment amounts for July 2017 through December 2017 have been calculated based on April 2017 data. Remittance notices for the second half of fiscal year 2018 will be provided in the month of December 2017.

Hospitals must remit the monthly assessments using the Illinois State Treasurer’s E-Pay Program. In order to use this service, your hospital will need an Internet connection, checking account information (bank routing number and account number), from which the payment will be made, and the hospital’s current remittance card. If your hospital is not familiar with the Illinois State Treasurer’s E-Pay Program, please contact the Bureau of Hospital and Provider Services at (217) 524-7110.

In addition, each hospital is responsible for ensuring debit authorizations can be initiated from designated accounts in the appropriate dollar amount. Following is the company identification number to be given to your banking institution, if debit block filters are used on the hospital’s account. Please use 1550895818 for these transactions.

If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact the Bureau of Hospital and Provider Services by e-mail at hfs.bchs@illinois.gov, or by telephone at 217-524-7110.
