State Budget

Gov. John Kasich's 2012-2013 state budget includes OHA's proposed hospital franchise fee and does NOT include anti-market Medicaid managed care "non-contracting" language.

Ohio hospitals are pleased the Ohio General Assembly and Gov. John Kasich’s administration finalized a state budget that includes the OHA Board-approved proposal to bring $1.2 billion in additional revenue to the state by temporarily extending the hospital franchise fee. Hospitals also appreciate that anti-market non-contracting language was removed. The provision would have forced hospitals into lopsided relationships with Medicaid managed care plans (MCPs) with no incentives for the plans to negotiate reasonable contracts with hospitals.
