Trade-off

A taper limits cost but may be too fast for hospitals with high fixed costs.

Part of: Run the Hospital Transition Fund

Hospitals whose revenue falls more than 5% below baseline when commercial rates disappear receive temporary support that tapers to zero by Year 6, conditioned on cost-reduction plans.
