For a detailed calculation of your facility’s annual payment amount under 305 ILCS 5/5A-12.2, please refer to the Department’s Hospital Access Improvement Payment letter, dated January 30, 2009. For payments under 305 ILCS 5/5A-12.4, a detailed calculation of your facility’s annual payments is posted to the Department’s website.
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 State fiscal year 2018, 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.
