I'm probably saying this to too elementary, but that provider tax, that percentage assessment on providers has really come under fire by the government.
Absolutely.
So, you know, when the one big beautiful bill, OB3, as we're both probably going to refer to it, um came out, it adopted massive cuts to provider taxes.
And it really depends on if you're an expansion state, which 41 states are, or if you're a non-expansion state, which we've got nine of those left.
Um, and so
For expansion states, uh, the one big beautiful bill requires if you are at that 6%, you've got to ratchet down to 3.5%.
Um, so it it reduces taxes.
If you're anything over 3.5% of a tax on net patient revenue, you've got to reduce your provider tax.
Um, and that starts January.
Those reductions.
And they would decrease that half a percentage until you hit the 3.5%.
For non-expansion states, the One Big Beautiful bill essentially froze wherever you are, provider taxes.
You can still tax up to 6%, but the One Big Beautiful bill essentially said no new taxes.
Now, how that's been interpreted, that I think is a little different than we discussed in Baltimore, is that CMS has been
Interpreting that as saying starting with fiscal year 2027.
And so we've seen implementation of additional taxes or changes to taxes that have gone through that were not in place by the 1B Beautiful bill.
And it's it's given some more runway, right?
For for maybe taxes or waiver requests that were pending with CMS as of the One B Beautiful bill.
Um, and those have gone through now.
So that that's provided some flexibility, I feel.
