Hospitals are required to report certain financial data to the Department of Health annually.1  The law also allows health insurers who provide group insurance to employers to provide the employer with the total amount of claims paid under the plan for each year, if the information is requested by the employer.2  Interestingly, the law also allows hospitals that have provided uncompensated care to uninsured patients, who are not eligible for medical assistance, to file a claim to be reimbursed for the care by the Department.3
