In provisions concerning the hospital rate reform payment system, provides that reimbursement for inpatient general acute care services shall utilize the All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Grouping (APR-DRG) software, version 30, distributed by Solventum previously known as 3MTM Health Information System. Provides that Solventum shall be the exclusive provider of this software unless the Department of Healthcare and Family Services determines that Solventum is unable to meet the required operational or contractual terms. Provides that only under such circumstances may an alternative authorized provider of the software be considered.
