RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 234 (SB 144) 2018 Regular Session Mills
Prior law provided major teaching hospitals with an opportunity for Medicaid
reimbursement based on a hospital prospective reimbursement methodology in which
Medicaid payment is made based on a predetermined fixed amount if the hospital has an
affiliation with a Louisiana medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical
Education and participates in at least four approved medical residency programs of which
two are in medicine, surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, family practice, emergency medicine,
or psychiatry, or maintains an intern and resident full-time equivalency of at least 20 filled
positions.
New law repeals prior law.
Effective upon implementation of a diagnosis-related group hospital payment methodology
approved by CMS.
