STAT+: Florida hospitals win $8 billion in extra Medicaid funds

Florida hospitals will receive nearly $8 billion in extra Medicaid funds for care delivered last year, a significant windfall ahead of new limits from President Trump's 2025 tax cut bill. The funds were approved through a state directed payment program and cover Medicaid patients treated from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. This is a major victory for hospitals in the state.
