 Congressman Maurice Hinchey (NY22) :: Press Release :: Hinchey Testifies For Higher Payments To Area Hospitals
It is important to note that Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties had, prior to the enactment of BBRA, been part of the same MSA as Orange County.

In the case of the hospitals I represent, the Orange County reclassification plucked one group of hospitals out of an MSA and moved it into a higher paying MSA, despite the fact that HCFA's administrative process had already determined that Orange County shared a similar wage index with hospitals in Dutchess, Sullivan and Ulster counties.
