Under this process, at cost report settlement, the fiscal intermediary or MAC will issue a reimbursement notice that determines whether each hospital is eligible for empirically justified Medicare DSH payments and is therefore eligible for uncompensated care payments in FY14 and each subsequent year. (hfma.org)
If a hospital received interim payments for its empirically justified Medicare DSH and uncompensated care payments for FY14 or a subsequent year on the basis of estimates prior to the payment year, but is ineligible for the empirically justified Medicare DSH payment at cost report settlement, the hospital would no longer be eligible for either payment and CMS would recoup those monies. (hfma.org)
Conversely, if a hospital did not receive interim payments for its empirically justified Medicare DSH and uncompensated care payments for FY14 or a subsequent year, but at cost report settlement is determined to be eligible for these payments, they will be calculated based on the Factor 3 value determined prospectively for that fiscal year.
