What the document says“and the DSH allotment for Tennessee for the portion of fiscal year 2026 beginning October 1, 2025, and ending January 30, 2026, shall be $17,748,493, which may be claimed as fiscal year 2026 uncompensated care costs”
Tennessee is named on its own in section 1923(f)(6)(A)(vi) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396r-4(f)(6)(A)(vi)). The section adds an amount for the part of fiscal year 2026 that this Act funds.
What the document actually says“and the DSH allotment for Tennessee for the portion of fiscal year 2026 beginning October 1, 2025, and ending January 30, 2026, shall be $17,748,493, which may be claimed as fiscal year 2026 uncompensated care costs”
Tennessee gets a set sum for these four months. It may be claimed against care given without pay.
Some hospitals treat many people who cannot pay. This money helps cover that. Tennessee has its own line in the law.
