Rural Hospital Inpatient Fund Payments

Overview
The Rural Hospital Inpatient Fund was established by the Legislature in 2005 in response to a 2002 hospital inpatient study that showed rural hospital inpatient cost structures are higher than urban hospital cost structures for inpatient services. This fund was designed to supplement rural hospital inpatient payments.
