Bill Summary
Relative to reimbursement rates to disproportionate share hospitals. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase reimbursement rates for disproportionate share hospitals (DSH) - hospitals that serve a large proportion of low-income patients. Specifically, it would provide a 3% increase to the inpatient and outpatient payment amounts for DSHs, on top of any existing rate adjustments for qualified safety net hospitals. Additionally, the bill calls for a supplemental payment of at least $15 million to DSHs for inpatient and outpatient behavioral and mental health services, with a focus on services provided to children and adolescents, subject to federal approval and funding availability.
