What it does
The bill would amend the Social Security Act to provide Tennessee with a permanent disproportionate share hospital (DSH) allotment starting in fiscal year 2026 and continuing each year thereafter. It sets Tennessee’s initial DSH allotment for FY 2026 equal to its FY 2015 amount, adjusted annually for inflation using the consumer price index, and thereafter treats Tennessee as a low DSH state for purposes of calculating future allotment increases. This change ensures Tennessee receives ongoing federal funding to support hospitals serving a high share of low-income and uninsured patients, overriding any conflicting provisions in current law or the TennCare Demonstration Project.
