Abstract

Hilltop Executive Director Charles Milligan participated on a panel that made a presentation before the Health and Government Operations Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates at a hearing on November 17, 2009, entitled Federal and State Trends in Hospital Oversight. The other presenters were Keith Hearle, President of Verité Healthcare Consulting, LLC, and Donna Folkemer, Group Director of the National Conference of State Legislatures. The presentation described national trends in tax-exempt hospital oversight; discussed state policy directions in financial protections for hospital customers; and presented two catalysts for state policymaking: insurance coverage rates and hospital behavior.
