Medicaid payment cut plan tests in Ohio hospitals
The Ohio Department of Public Welfare will test a plan by Jack Fox to link Medicaid payments to patient need rather than flat rates. Aimed at reducing costs, the project could save up to 145 dollars per patient day by directing higher rates to high care needs and limiting hospital stays for those needing less care, with a one million dollar appropriation and a nine to twelve month span.
