Medicaid program; limitations on aggregate payments to disproportionate share hospitals: fiscal year 1993--HCFA. Notice.
This notice announces the "preliminary" national aggregate Federal fiscal year 1993 limit on, and individual State allotments for, Medicaid payments made to hospitals that serve a disproportionate number of Medicaid recipients and low-income patients with special needs. We are publishing this notice in accordance with the provisions of section 1923(f)(1)(C) of the Social Security Act. That section requires the Secretary, at the beginning of each Federal fiscal year (beginning with Federal fiscal year 1993), to estimate and publish in the Federal Register the national payment limit, and each State's allotment within that national limit, for disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments for which Federal financial participation (FFP) will be available under Medicaid.
