What is the Health Care Safety Net? Health care providers that organize and deliver a significant level of health care and other health- related services to uninsured, Medicaid, and other vulnerable patients (Institute of Medicine). Core safety net providers are required by organizational mission or legal mandate to provide care to patients regardless of ability to pay. Includes hospitals (public; non-profit; academic medical centers), community health centers, local health departments. Institute of Medicine. Americas Health Care Safety Net: Intact but Endangered. Washington: National Academies Press, 2000.

What is the Role of Safety Net Hospitals? Provide inpatient, primary and subspecialty care for Medicaid, low-income, and uninsured populations. Provide other specialized services (trauma centers, burn units, inpatient psychiatric care). Serve as sites for training physicians and other health professionals. Serve as economic engines of communities safety net hospitals contributed over $120 billion in 2009 to state economies, and to over 800,000 jobs nationally.

What is the Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Safety Net Hospitals and the Populations they Serve? Potential for increased Medicaid revenuesan estimated 16 million people will acquire Medicaid under ACA. Cuts in disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments, which help cover costs of caring for Medicaid and uninsured patients. – Safety net hospitals have higher average uncompensated care costs as a share of total costs (16%, compared to 6% nationally) An estimated 26 million people under age 65 will remain uninsured after full implementation of the ACAsafety net hospitals will still be needed to care for this population.

Key Questions Regarding Medicaid and DSH payment policies, what are potential federal policy options to better target existing funds to hospitals serving low-income, high-need patients? What is currently being done to address the current financial challenges facing safety net hospitals, and to prepare safety net hospitals for funding changes under the ACA? How can ACA provisions affecting safety net hospital financing be implemented to maintain the financial stability of safety net hospitals while promoting high- quality, efficient care?
