Provider Assessment Advocacy

By advocating for provider assessment systems and directed payments, nonprofit long-term care organizations secure sustainable funding for member facilities, because state-collected bed tax revenues leveraged with federal matching funds can be recycled as Medicaid-eligible support payments tied to service delivery. This strategy involves lobbying for state-level provider assessment policies—commonly known as bed taxes—where healthcare providers contribute funds that are then combined with federal Medicaid matching dollars (FMAP) and returned as directed payments based on Medicaid utilization. What distinguishes this approach from general funding advocacy is its focus on a self-sustaining financial mechanism that aligns provider contributions with performance-based reimbursement, ensuring long-term care facilities receive enhanced, predictable revenue streams to maintain quality care.
