§ 256B.70 — Demonstration Project Waiver

Plain-Language Summary

A hospital that participates as a provider in a demonstration project the commissioner of human services set up to deliver medical assistance or substance use disorder services on a prepaid, capitation basis is exempt from the prospective payment system for inpatient hospital service. That exemption applies only during the period the hospital participates in the project.

Practical Notes
This section is narrow: it does not generally describe or authorize demonstration projects. Its only operative effect is that a hospital taking part in such a capitation-based demonstration project is not paid under the inpatient prospective payment system while it participates.
