DSH in Tennessee Act

This bill would change the Medicaid law so that Tennessee receives a yearly disproportionate share hospital (DSH) allotment starting in fiscal year 2026 and every year after. DSH payments are federal Medicaid funds for hospitals that serve many low-income or uninsured patients. For fiscal year 2026, Tennessee's allotment would equal its fiscal year 2015 amount, adjusted upward each year by the change in the consumer price index. After 2026, Tennessee would be treated as a "low DSH State," and its allotment would rise each year the same way as other low DSH States.
