The Health Care Authority is making available presentation slides from the SFY 2016 Disproportional Share Hospital (DSH) audit training webcast provided by Myers and Stauffer on April 3, 2019. The slides include a recap of the DSH rule, detailed instructions regarding the audit survey process, findings from the SFY 2015 audit, and responses to questions raised during the webinar. Hospitals can request copies of the presentation slides by contacting Mary O’Hare HCA DSH Program Manager at mary.ohare@hca.wa.gov.
According to the timeline in the presentation, hospitals need to complete and submit the audit survey information for SFY 2016 by May 3. The Health Care Authority contracts with Myers and Stauffer to perform the federally-required annual DSH audits for Washington State. (Andrew Busz, andrewb@wsha.org).
