House passes DSH delay, advances site-neutral cuts

This week the House passed the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which delays impending Medicaid DSH cuts for two years, a top HANYS priority. However, it also imposes strongly-opposed permanent site-neutral payment cuts for drug administration services in off-campus hospital outpatient departments, among other provisions. HANYS is working closely with the delegation and our partners in D.C. to urge Congress to address the Medicaid DSH cuts by Jan. 19.
