Bill overview
This bill, the Save our Safety-Net Hospitals Act of 2024, aims to increase funding for hospitals that serve a large number of low-income patients through the Medicaid program. It modifies how these hospitals receive payments, expanding the criteria for adjustments to account for their higher costs and ensuring they receive adequate compensation. Specifically, it broadens the definition of eligible hospitals and clarifies the circumstances under which hospitals can receive disproportionate share payments. The changes are effective starting October 1, 2021.
