Rulemaking Activities - Hospital Financial Reporting
Current Rules in Progress
On February 3, 2025, the Department of Health's Office of Community Health Systems, Charity Care and Hospital Financial Reporting Program filed a CR-102 (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) to correct a clerical error from the original proposed rulemaking.
The proposed rulemaking simplifies existing rules regarding the uniform system for hospitals for accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, and cost allocation. Also proposed are amendments to update outdated language within chapter 246-454 WAC, and two sections of Hospitals-Assessments and Related Reports, WAC 246-451-010 and 246-451-050.
