Description
Reports on three aspects of Medicaid: Disproportionate
Share Hospital (DSH) payments to states and providers,
access to Medicaid, and children's coverage under CHIP.
Chapter 2 includes the second annual report on DSH
payments, which provide support to safety-net hospitals to
help offset uncompensated care costs for Medicaid and
uninsured patients. Table 2-1 identifies DSH spending for
urban and rural hospitals and for Critical Access
Hospitals. Chapter 3 examines state policies for
distributing DSH payments to hospitals, including which
states target rural or Critical Access Hospitals.
