Urban NJ hospitals take big charity funding hit
A new state formula for funding Medicaid could cut $142 million in charity care payments for treating the uninsured from hospital budgets, taking funding away completely from 22 of the state's hospitals, according to a review of the proposed changes by the New Jersey Hospital Association. The formula, which is part of the state's proposed $33 billion budget, would lead to cuts for a total of 62 hospitals, while boosting up to 18, according to the association. The biggest loser would be Jersey City Medical Center, which would see an almost $42 million cut, or almost 50 percent of its charity care aid. Meanwhile, University Hospital in Newark would get $96.5 million, a boost of just under $400,000. The formula is intended to target the funding to those who need it most, according to the state Department of Health and Senior Services.
