structure of Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payment
reductions, oversight of upper payment limits for
supplemental payments to hospitals, and Disproportionate
Share Hospital (DSH) payments to states. Chapter 3 includes
the annual report on DSH payments, which provide support to
safety net hospitals to help offset uncompensated care
costs for Medicaid and uninsured patients. Table 3-1
