This is to inform you that the department has determined that
your facility is subject to the inpatient and outpatient assessments imposed on
Illinois hospital inpatient and outpatient services under the provisions of 305
ILCS 5/5-A.
Your
facility’s inpatient and outpatient assessment remittance notices for July 2021
through December 2021 of fiscal year 2022 per Public Act 101-0650, have been
mailed via USPS Attn: Chief Financial Officer.
Please make your mailroom aware of these important documents.
Also enclosed will be tax calculation worksheets detailing
the bases for the inpatient and outpatient assessments. The remittance notice
has the facility’s name and address, the tax identification number and personal
identification number (PIN) assigned by the department, the total amount due,
and the due date.
Hospitals must remit the monthly assessments using the
Illinois State Treasurer’s E-Pay Program. In order to use this service, your
hospital will need an Internet connection, checking account information (bank
routing number and account number), from which the payment will be made, and
the hospital’s current remittance card. If your hospital is not familiar with
the Illinois
State Treasurer’s E-Pay Program, please contact
the Bureau of Hospital and Provider Services at (217) 524-7110 or via e-mail at
HFS.ProviderAssessmentUnit@illinois.gov.
In addition, each hospital is responsible for ensuring debit
authorizations can be initiated from designated accounts in the appropriate
dollar amount. The following are company identification numbers to be given to
your banking institution, if debit block filters are used on the hospital’s
account. Please use 1810599849 or 9810599849 for these transactions.
