BY SENATOR HEITMEIER
A RESOLUTION
To urge and request the Department of Health and Hospitals to not include certified public
expenditures of certain public hospitals as funds generated for state Fiscal Year 2010
- 2011.
WHEREAS, Act 11 of the 2010 Regular Session requires non-state, non-rural public
hospitals to certify matching funds for their Title XIX claim payments and provide
certification of incurred uncompensated care costs that qualify for public expenditures; and
WHEREAS, Act 803 of the 2010 Regular Session requires from the Department of
Health and Hospitals to the State Treasurer a report which details the amount of certified
public expenditures which have been generated in excess of the amount appropriated; and
WHEREAS, non-state, non-rural public hospitals could be paid an upper payment
limit payment for the time period May 15, 2011 to June 30, 2011 if certain public hospital's
certification of public expenditures is not determined to be revenue under Act 803.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana
does hereby urge and request the Department of Health and Hospitals to not count the
certified public expenditures of certain public hospitals identified by the department in order
to maximize the upper payment limit payments mentioned above, as generated for state
Fiscal Year 2010-2011 for purposes of Act 803.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals.
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
