The "Delivering Support for Hospitals in Tennessee Act" aims to amend the Social Security Act to provide a permanent disproportionate share hospital (DSH) allotment for the State of Tennessee. This new allotment will commence in fiscal year 2026 and continue for all succeeding fiscal years, ensuring ongoing federal support for hospitals serving a high volume of low-income patients. Specifically, for fiscal year 2026, Tennessee's DSH allotment will be set at its 2015 level, adjusted upwards by the percentage change in the consumer price index for all urban consumers. Following this, for fiscal years after 2026, Tennessee will be designated as a low DSH state , meaning its annual DSH allotment will increase in the same manner as other low DSH states receive their increases.
