Bill overview
This bill, the Protect DSH Act, aims to prevent reductions in payments to hospitals designated as ‘disproportionate share hospitals’ (DSH) within the Medicaid program. It proposes delaying the implementation of payment reductions scheduled for 2026 through 2028, extending them instead to 2029 through 2031. These DSH hospitals often serve a high percentage of low-income and uninsured patients, and the proposed changes would provide them with continued financial support. The bill seeks to stabilize these hospitals’ finances and ensure continued access to care for vulnerable populations.
