Özet
Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments historically acted as a
source for the unpaid expenditure borne by the hospitals for the
uninsured and underinsured patients. Under the auspices of Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), it is projected by Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that with decrease in the number of
uninsured under ACA, DSH payments will also decrease. This study
investigates the extent of the Medicare DHS payment reduction in
relation with facility level factors affect that reduction in the wake
of ACA.
