Re: Disproportionate Share Hospital Adjustment Payments, Medicaid
Percentage Adjustment Payments
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Attached you will find an Action
Notice from the Department reminding hospitals of the information used to calculate Disproportionate Share Hospital Adjustment Payments, Medicaid
Percentage Adjustment Payments, and County Trauma Center Adjustment Payments.
The purpose of the attached notice is
to remind hospitals that the Department will make determinations based on data
on hand and allow you to update information you feel is incomplete. As described in the attachments, claims must
be adjudicated no later than June 30, 2021, and other data must be received or
postmarked no later than July 1, 2020.
Data used to determine eligibility and calculate rates is not from the
current period, but from either your hospital’s 2019 cost reporting period (DSH
and MPA) or the State’s 2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020) fiscal year
(TCA). If you have any questions
regarding this notice, please contact the Disproportionate Share Unit at (217)
785-0710.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Staley, Bureau Chief
Bureau of Rate Development and Analysis
