In response to a requirement in the Affordable Care Act, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published a proposed regulation describing how it envisions reducing future Medicaid disproportionate share (Medicaid DSH) spending.
In response to that proposed regulation, SNAP has submitted a formal comment letter to CMS expressing support for some aspects of the proposal, offering recommendations for improving CMS’s proposed methodology, and conveying support for the administration’s budget proposal to delay all Medicaid DSH cuts for one year.
