Murphy budget provides $262M in charity care — These hospitals get the most

Gov. Phil Murphy's proposed 2020 budget includes $262 million in Charity Care funds to the state's 70 acute care hospitals and one specialty hospital.

The funding is part of $670 million in the budget for hospitals.

Charity Care helps hospitals provide free or reduced-cost care to low-income and uninsured patients.

The hospital aid includes $218 million in Graduate Medical Education funds to support physician teaching programs and $24 million in Graduate Medical Education Supplemental funds for 14 hospitals that serve a greater number of Medicaid patients.

For the first time, hospitals awarded Charity Care would have to connect to the New Jersey Health Information Network to provide information about the care that eligible patients receive.
