Abstract
This document, written by Hilltop Director of Analytics and Research Morgan Henderson, Senior Data Scientist Leigh Goetschius, and Interim Executive Director Alice Middleton, quantifies the impact of removing the 6% provider tax safe harbor threshold on state-level federal Medicaid funding. Using data on hospital and nursing facility tax rates and net patient revenue, this analysis finds that eliminating the 6% provider tax threshold for hospitals and nursing facilities would put $83.7 billion of federal Medicaid funding at risk.
