From Health Affairs
Dear John,
In case you missed it, the newest episode of
<[link removed]>A
Health Podyssey
<[link removed]>Â
covers the relationship between income and health with Jennifer
Ng'andu, managing director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
<[link removed]> of
the Healthy Children and Families Program.
Medicaid DHS Benefits
The Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) program provides
financial subsidies for hospitals serving low-income and uninsured
patients and providing uncompensated care.
Using national data from the period 2011-15, Paula Chatterjee and
coauthors examine DSH payment allocations in forty-nine participating
states
<[link removed]>.
They find that up to 31.6 percent of Medicaid disproportionate share
hospital payments have gone to hospitals that "demonstrated low
orientation toward caring for low-income populations."
In their discussion, Chatterjee and coauthors describe opportunities to
encourage states to better align targeting with goals of the DHS statute
or revise applicable statute to better align with states' priorities.
