CHIA, at the request of the State House News Service, produced a list of hospitals that meet the eligibility parameters under the spending package. Within each category, total funding will be distributed based on hospitals' "Medicaid gross patient service revenue," according to a CHIA spokesperson. The package also specifically carves out $16.5 million in aid to Cambridge Health Alliance. Steve Walsh, CEO of the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Association, said the Legislature's "investment comes at a time of extraordinary distress for our hospitals and health systems." "It is an immediate lifeline, not just a budget line," Health Care Financing Committee Co-chair Rep. John Lawn said last week.
