Establishes a permanent disproportionate share hospital allotment for Tennessee starting in fiscal year 2026.
The Delivering Support for Hospitals in Tennessee Act amends title XIX of the Social Security Act to ensure Tennessee receives a permanent disproportionate share hospital allotment starting in fiscal year 2026. The allotment for fiscal year 2026 is set to be equal to the 2015 allotment, adjusted for inflation. For subsequent fiscal years, Tennessee will be treated as a low DSH state, with its allotment increasing in the same manner as those for other low DSH states. This change aims to provide consistent and predictable funding for Tennessee hospitals.
