GENERAL HOSPITALS CERTIFIED UNDER ARTICLE 28 OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW

Applications will be accepted through April 30, 2010, for capital projects by general hospitals adversely affected by changes in Medicaid reimbursement enacted in the 2009-10 State budget and which serve significant numbers of Medicaid beneficiaries and other underserved populations. Projects to be supported under this Request for Grant Applications (RGA) will be expected to complement, support or otherwise directly further the implementation of the applicant hospital's approved transition business plan, which is intended to restructure and improve the facility's financial operations and provide for its continued financial viability in response to changes in Medicaid payments. Projects funded through this RGA will relate specifically to those components of a facility's transition plan that would reduce over-reliance on inpatient care in favor of outpatient and ambulatory services appropriate to identified community needs. The DOH and DASNY expect that $50 million will be available under this solicitation, authorized under the Healthcare Efficiency and Affordability Law for New Yorkers (HEAL NY).

The RGA and related application materials will be available on or about March 31, 2010, on the DOH public Web site, www.nyhealth.gov/funding/ or by contacting Robert G. Schmidt, Director, HEAL NY Implementation Unit, at the above address.
