Legislation to potentially benefit Kentucky hospitals by a billion dollars collectively is moving to the full House. That’s according to Russell Representative Danny Bentley, a co-sponsor of House Bill 75. The retired pharmacist said the measure deals with the amount of federal Medicaid dollars available to hospitals.
“What this is is a one-time drawdown of Medicaid for outpatient services and increases the rate and helps keep our hospital afloat throughout Kentucky," said Bentley.
