Description
|
Establishes a new methdology for hospital Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) reimbursement. Currently, the state does not have a stable methodology for determining DSH eligible hospitals and the amount to be paid consistent with the available allotment, which will be reduced over time due to the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA). This new methodology includes: (1) a reliable and comparable basis for determining which hospitals qualify for DSH; (2) a better match of payments to levels of uncompensated care costs; and (3) limits on DSH reimbursement, including reductions in the federal DSH allotment as a result of the ACA. This action is embedded in budget bill language.CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) |
