Medicaid and CHIP Updates
The DSH program provides funding through States to qualifying hospitals who serve a large
number of Medicaid and uninsured individuals. This proposed rule will define “uninsured” for
purposes of calculating the Medicaid hospital-specific DSH payment limit. The proposed rule
will be open for public comment through February 17, 2012. Please refer to the Federal Register
publication tomorrow for instructions about how to submit comments.
