DSH in Tennessee Act

# DSH in Tennessee Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The DSH in Tennessee Act (HR 6393) would address Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments in Tennessee. DSH payments are federal Medicaid funds distributed to hospitals that serve a large share of low-income and uninsured patients. This bill would likely modify how Tennessee hospitals receive these federal funds, though specific details aren't publicly available in the basic bill information. **Who It Affects:** The legislation would primarily impact Tennessee hospitals, particularly those serving significant numbers of Medicaid patients and uninsured individuals.

It could also affect patients who rely on these hospitals for care and the state's healthcare system more broadly. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. As of now, it remains in the early stages of the legislative process. *Note: More detailed information about specific provisions would require access to the full bill text, which appears to have limited public documentation at this stage.*.
