Wisconsin faces federal mandate on free indigent care
State officials prepare to enforce a federal Hill Burton free care rule that may force hospitals to admit and provide care to medically indigent patients. Dale Jennersohn of the Department of Health and Local Services says up to 75 percent of Wisconsin hospitals could be affected, with enforcement ranging from license actions to court cases if compliance fails. The rules apply to facilities receiving Hill-Burton funds in the past two decades and require plans within four months after the end of the fiscal year. A meeting is expected to clarify ambiguities about nursing homes and state action authority.
