Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of the bill is to update how gross revenues are determined for the purpose of healthcare provider taxes in Minnesota. It specifically aims to clarify how rebates should factor into the calculation of gross revenues for wholesale drug distributors.

Main Provisions

  • The bill mandates that gross revenues for healthcare providers, including hospitals, surgical centers, health care providers, and wholesale drug distributors, include the total amount received for patient services or drug distribution.
