MissouriEligible hospitals could invest more funds; Lyme reports come sooner
Eligible hospitals and hospital districts may invest more of their available funds in specified ways, and Lyme disease cases must be reported within three days.
What it does
Hospitals with very little public tax support may invest up to half of their available funds in specified investments, including mutual funds, highly rated short term bonds, and money market investments.
Hospital districts receiving little tax revenue may put up to half of available funds into specified investments, including mutual funds, highly rated short term bonds, and money market investments.
Health care providers, laboratories, and local health departments must report confirmed or suspected Lyme disease cases within three days of diagnosis; patients can choose whether to share identifying information.
Argument forHospitals with little public tax support could have more choices for investing funds they do not need right away.
Argument againstHospitals could take on more investment risk by putting a larger share of their available money into stocks, real estate, or longer term choices.
More detail
Some hospitals may invest up to half of available funds in listed investments. Available funds are money not needed for immediate payments or hospital operations. This applies only to hospitals receiving less than three percent of yearly revenue from state, county, or municipal taxes and less than three percent from appropriated funds from their municipality. The remaining available funds must go into investments allowed for the state treasurer.
Hospital districts may invest up to half of available funds in listed investments. Available funds are money not needed for immediate payments or district operations. This applies only if the district receives less than three percent of yearly revenue from hospital district or state taxes. Any available funds not invested under this allowance must go into investments allowed for the state treasurer.
Providers, laboratories, and local health departments must report Lyme disease cases within three days of diagnosis. The reporting duty applies to health care providers, laboratories, and local health departments. The report covers confirmed and suspected cases and uses CDC standardized surveillance definitions. Patients with a positive or suspected diagnosis must be offered the option to let officials share their identifiable information. Reports are due within three days after diagnosis.
