Vermont Business Magazine Hearings for Vermont hospitals have been set. The initial budget submissions by Vermont’s 14 non-profit hospitals continue the trend toward aligning health spending more closely with general economic growth, according to data made public by the Green Mountain Care Board. This fiscal year, FY18, the submissions of an aggregate Net Patient Revenue (NPR) of 3.6% (just over the 3.4% target set bythe Board; the difference equates to $4.7 million or .19% of a $2.5 billion hospital health care system in Vermont) indicate historically low rates of growth, a continued downward trend, and are in line with the GMCB's hospital budget instructions for FY18. The proposed weighted average of 2.4% is the second lowest submitted growth rate in 17 years, and follows last year’s historic 2.2% submitted rate. (SEE STORY)
