Public Notice
Health & Social Services
(Medical Assistance Reimbursement of Hospitals)
The State of Wisconsin reimburses hospitals for medical services provided to low-income persons under the authority of Title XIX of the Federal Social Security Act and ss. 49.43 to 49.47, Wis. Stats. This program, administered by the State's Department of Health and Social Services, is known as Medical Assistance (MA) or Medicaid. Federal statutes require that a state plan be developed which provides the methods and standards for paying for hospital services. A plan which describes the hospital reimbursement system is now in effect.
In order to carry out its Medical Assistance program authority and to implement Section 5240.8 of the Title XIX Inpatient Hospital State Plan, the Department is required to publish annually a list of hospitals in the state which serve a disproportionate share of Medicaid or low-income inpatients and therefore qualify for a disproportionate share (DSH) payment adjustment for inpatient hospital services. The hospitals listed below are receiving the listed DSH payment adjustment for all discharges on and after July 1, 1994:
