Abstract
This final rule primarily addresses recent legislative changes to the Social Security Act as a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 changes to the hospital-specific limit on Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments. This final rule affords States and hospitals more clarity on how the limit, the changes that took effect on October 1, 2021, will be calculated. Additionally, this final rule enhances administrative efficiency by making technical changes and clarifications to the DSH program.
