CMS releases Medicaid DSH allotments
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services yesterday released states’ final disproportionate share hospital allotments for fiscal years 2018 and 2019, and their preliminary DSH allotments for FY 2020 and 2021. The preliminary allotments for FY 2020 and FY 2021 factor in adjustments made by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to address the interaction of DSH allotments and a temporary increase in the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage. The notice also includes the final FY 2018-2019 and preliminary FY 2020-2021 state limits on aggregate DSH payments to institutions for mental disease and other mental health facilities. The allotments are effective 30 days after the notice’s publication in the March 16 Federal Register.
