Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This resolve directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to increase the Medicaid reimbursement rate provided to rehabilitation hospitals. This increase in the Medicaid reimbursement rate must be funded using existing hospital reimbursement resources and have no net cost to the General Fund, Other Special Revenue Funds or the Federal Expenditures Fund. To achieve cost neutrality DHHS will have to reduce funding to other in-state hospitals.
