Published 09/09/2026

Purpose

The primary function of the Hospital Coalition is to assist Palmetto GBA in the development, implementation and evaluation of provider education strategies and efforts. The Hospital Coalition will be used as provider education consultant resource and not as an approval or sanctioning authority.

Mission Statement

The Hospital Coalition serves as a strategic communications channel between Palmetto GBA and the provider community within Jurisdiction M (North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia) and Jurisdiction J (Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee). The Hospital Coalition fosters collaboration to enhance provider education and support the effective administration of the Medicare program.

The Hospital Coalition supports this mission by:

  • Establishing and maintaining strong, collaborative relationships between Palmetto GBA and the provider community
  • Meeting quarterly to address educational needs and emerging issues
  • Facilitating timely, accurate and efficient communication among all participating members
  • Coordinating provider feedback to ensure concerns are representative of the broader hospital community
