In a message to members of Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation, the Safety-Net Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) has asked elected officials in Washington, D.C. to protect the state’s ability to levy assessments on providers to help fund the commonwealth’s Medicaid program.  The proceeds from the state’s current provider assessments, SNAP notes, have made a major difference in ensuring the ability of Pennsylvania’s safety-net hospitals to continue serving their many Medicaid patients.
