DSH in Tennessee Act

HR 6393, the "DSH in Tennessee Act," permanently restores and guarantees specific federal hospital funding for Tennessee starting in fiscal year 2026. It directs the federal government to provide Tennessee with a Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) allotment equal to the state's 2015 level, adjusted annually for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index. This funding directly supports hospitals in Tennessee that serve large numbers of low-income patients, ensuring they receive consistent federal financial assistance. The bill treats Tennessee as a "low DSH state" for future funding calculations, establishing a permanent, inflation-adjusted funding formula.
