Hospitals that serve a large number of Medicaid or uninsured patients may be considered disproportionate share hospitals and may be eligible to receive additional payments under Medicaid. These payments may be subject to a hospital-specific limit. An annual allotment to each state limits Federal financial participation. Section 1923(i) of the Social Security Act requires direct payment of DSH payments and prohibits DSH payments made by MCOs. (Medicaid Managed-Care Capitation – Rate Development and Certification)
