Murphy Administration Provides $636 Million in Funding for 樱花视频鈥檚 Hospitals
The 樱花视频 Department of Health today released the fiscal year 2019 hospital charity care and Graduate Medical Education (GME) funding distribution, which is part of more than $636 million in hospital funding provided in Governor Murphy’s proposed budget.
“The Department is committed to supporting 樱花视频’s hospitals’ efforts to provide uncompensated care to our uninsured residents,” said 樱花视频 Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “This funding also provides for essential training of physicians to boost the healthcare workforce.”
The proposed budget includes $252 million for charity care, which is distributed to all 70 acute care hospitals and one specialty hospital in the State and is used to support hospitals’ delivery of free or reduced cost hospital care for low-income, uninsured patients. The distribution of charity care is primarily based on uncompensated care provided by each hospital.
Additionally, 46 hospitals participate in the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP), now in its seventh year. DSRIP rewards hospitals for improved quality of care and is funded at $166.6 million. GME, which is funded at $218 million and is distributed to 43 acute care hospitals in the State, supports the growth of hospital-based physician teaching programs in the State.
