In December, the Department of Revenue Services submitted liens indicating that Waterbury (Conn.) Hospital has an outstanding debt of $36.39 million; Manchester, Conn.-based Prospect Manchester Hospital owes $22.9 million; and Vernon, Conn.-based Rockville General Hospital owes $8.1 million — resulting in a total of $67.39 million.

According to the publication, Prospect is obliged to remit the health provider tax or hospital user fee to the state. This tax, mandated for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare providers, is calculated annually based on their revenues. 

As per the three liens acquired by The Connecticut Mirror, Prospect Medical Holdings has not paid taxes since March 2022. This comes as the hospital owner is working to sell three hospitals to Yale New Haven (Conn.) Health for $435 million. The state has been reviewing the tentative deal for more than a year.
