Reports on three aspects of Medicaid: improving the
structure of Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payment
reductions, oversight of upper payment limits for
supplemental payments to hospitals, and Disproportionate
Share Hospital (DSH) payments to states. Chapter 3 includes
the annual report on DSH payments, which provide
support to safety-net hospitals to help offset
uncompensated care costs for Medicaid and uninsured
patients. Table 3-1 identifies DSH spending for urban and
rural hospitals and for Critical Access Hospitals.
