SubscribeOn February 28, 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed rule that would change how Medicare disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments are calculated with respect to the counting of days associated with Section 1115 demonstrations in the Medicaid fraction of the DSH calculation. This proposed rule is a follow-up to the FY 2022 and FY 2023 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) proposed rules, which initially included similar proposed revisions to the treatment of certain Section 1115 waiver days for purposes of the Medicare DSH adjustment.
Comments on the proposed rule are due May 1, 2023.
