Report to Congress on Medicaid and CHIP, March 2021
Link
Description
Reports on five aspects of Medicaid: 1) improving
Medicaid's responsiveness during economic downturns; 2)
addressing concerns about high rates of maternal morbidity
and mortality; 3) reexamining Medicaid's estate recovery
policies; 4) integrating care for people who are dually
eligible for Medicaid and Medicare; and 5) improving
hospital payment policy for the nation's safety net
hospitals. Chapter 5 examines the relationship between
disproportionate share hospital (DSH) allotments to states
and the number of uninsured individuals, the amounts and
sources of hospitals' uncompensated care costs, and the
number of hospitals with high levels of uncompensated care
that also provide essential community services. Table 5-1
details DSH spending for urban and rural hospitals and for
Critical Access Hospitals.
