Save our Safety-Net Hospitals Act of 2025

H.R. 5064, the Save our Safety-Net Hospitals Act of 2025, would modify limitations on Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. Safety-net hospitals are facilities that serve large numbers of uninsured and low-income patients, and DSH payments help offset the costs of providing care to these populations. The bill would adjust how these payments are calculated or distributed to these hospitals.

If enacted, this legislation could help safety-net hospitals maintain financial stability and continue providing essential care to vulnerable populations. These hospitals often operate in underserved communities and rely heavily on Medicaid reimbursements to sustain operations. The bill is currently under consideration by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
