Report to Congress on Medicaid and CHIP, March 2024
Link
Description
Reports on three aspects of Medicaid of interest to
Congress: 1) improving the Medicaid beneficiary experience
through Medical Care Advisory Committees (MCACs) and
federal government actions to aid states, 2) increasing the
transparency and improving the monitoring of the denials
and appeals process in Medicaid managed care, and 3)
reviewing hospital payment policy for the nation's safety
net hospitals. Chapter 3 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 3-1
details DSH spending for urban and rural hospitals and for
Critical Access Hospitals.
