This amendment modifies the State's reimbursement methodology for setting payment rates for disproportionate share hospital services (DSH). Specifically, this amendment updates the base year used to estimate the interim DSH payments and inflates the rates to the rate year ending in 2015, increases the DSH limit for the out-of-state border hospitals eligible for DSH payment from 50% to 60%, continues any prior rate reductions implemented by the Department, and creates a $25.0 million DSH pool for rural hospitals and a $40.0 million DSH pool for hospitals identified as transformation hospitals.
