Analysis of the Joint Distribution of Disproportionate Share Hospital Payments (Report)
|
Author(s): Barbara Wynn, Theresa Coughlin, Serhiy Bondarenko, and Brian Bruen
|
Organization(s): RAND under contract with the Urban Institute |
|
The Medicare and Medicaid programs distribute extra payments to hospitals that treat a disproportionate share of indigent patients. The disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payment policies differ substantially between the two programs and, under Medicaid, across states as well. State-reported information on Medicaid DSH payments to individual hospitals permits for the first time a national examination of the joint distribution of Medicare and Medicaid funds and how well the funds are targeted toward vulnerable safety net hospitals. This report provides the results of our analyses to: 1) examine the distribution of both Medicare and Medicaid DSH funds across hospitals, 2) assess alternative criteria that could be used to identify safety net hospitals, 3) develop measures of hospital financial vulnerability to identify those safety hospitals that are under most financial pressure, and 4) explore the extent to which alternative allocation policies to the current Medicare and Medicaid DSH payment mechanisms would improve the distribution of funds to those safety net hospitals that are most vulnerable.

Emerging Practices in Medicaid Primary Care Case Management Programs (Report)
|
Author(s): Joanne Rawlings-Sekunda, Deborah Curtis, Neva Kaye
|
Organization(s): National Academy for State Health Policy |
|
Primary care case management (PCCM) is a system of managed care used by state Medicaid agencies in which a primary care provider is responsible for approving and monitoring the care of enrolled Medicaid beneficiaries, typically for a small monthly case management fee in addition to fee-for-service reimbursement for treatment. States began enrolling beneficiaries in their PCCM programs by the mid-1980s to increase access and reduce inappropriate emergency room and other high cost care. As PCCM programs have matured, state goals have changed from simply expanding access to better management of the quality of care provided.
