The state of New Hampshire, alongside Lebanon-based Dartmouth Health, Concord Hospital Health System, and the New Hampshire Hospital Association, have reached a settlement agreement regarding pending litigation over the state's Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET) and Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. The settlement, announced on May 23rd, resolves a lawsuit filed in April challenging the tax. The lawsuit was initiated after failed negotiations regarding the redistribution of Medicaid Enhancement Tax dollars. Dartmouth Health was a party to the lawsuit because it pays a significant portion of the total state MET payment and would carry a disproportionate burden of lost revenue under the previously proposed changes. According to the New Hampshire Hospital Association, hospitals would have collectively lost approximately $70 million under the state's proposal. Governor Kelly Ayotte and Dartmouth Health CEO and President Joanne M. Conroy, MD, both issued statements expressing satisfaction with the agreement, highlighting it as a positive step for the state, rural healthcare access, and patients, and emphasizing the importance of the resolution for Dartmouth Health's ability to continue providing critical care to its communities. The MET is a tax on certain hospital revenues, with a portion typically returned to hospitals through DSH payments.
