MedPAC
MedPAC is on track to make a recommendation to Congress that could prompt debate or even action on the 340B program’s use of the Medicare disproportionate share (DSH) patient percentage to determine hospital eligibility.

MedPAC Is Expected to Make a Policy Recommendation That Could Prompt a Look at 340B Hospital Program Eligibility Criteria

Congressional Medicare advisers are moving toward recommending what they say is a better way to give extra Medicare funding to safety-net hospitals that disproportionately serve low-income and/or uninsured beneficiaries.

If Congress and the executive branch adopt the proposal, however, it could in turn lead to debate or even action on the 340B program’s use of the Medicare disproportionate share (DSH) patient percentage to determine which DSH hospitals, rural referral centers, sole community hospitals, children’s hospitals, and free-standing cancer hospitals are eligible for drug discounts.
