House and Senate lawmakers are advancing proposals requiring site-neutral payments for hospital outpatient services. Now is the best time to tell your congressional delegations how these policies will affect your hospital.

Unless Congress acts, a devastating, $8 billion cut to Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) funding will occur Oct. 1. Help us stop this cut by adding your essential hospital to a sign-on letter urging congressional leaders to act quickly.

While lawmakers are home during August recess, we encourage you to invite your congressional delegation to visit your hospital and urge them to support essential hospital priorities.

Please urge your House members now to support H.R. 2665, the Supporting Safety Net Hospitals Act, which eliminates two years of looming Medicaid disproportionate share hospital cuts for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
