Rate Reform Round 3

In October 2010, the Department re-convened an Ad-Hoc Advisory committee with providers and stakeholders to gather additional creative ideas to generate $300 million GPR over the 2011-13 biennium. One idea that will be considered is an all provider assessment, a concept that has been in place in Minnesota since 1993. It would further broaden the revenue base for the program and build on the success of the hospital assessment, which has resulted in substantial revenue increases to providers and GPR savings to the state.
