Statement on the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018
Today’s continuing resolution includes many important provisions that benefit the patients and communities America’s hospitals and health systems are privileged to serve each day. Importantly, this bill delays for two years cuts to Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments, which are critical to hospitals and health systems that care for our nation’s most vulnerable populations—children, the poor, the disabled and the elderly. This delay will help ensure that hospitals can continue to deliver high-quality care for their patients. We also are encouraged that the bill extends critical rural programs—including the Medicare-dependent Hospital program, the enhanced Low-volume Adjustment program, and the ambulance add-on payment program—that help keep vital care and service in rural America.
