 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Makes any such Board decision to reclassify a DSH for purposes of the adjustment factor for FY 2001 or any subsequent fiscal year apply for purposes of adjusting payments made on a prospective basis for variations in costs attributable to wages and wage-related costs for prospective payment system-reimbursed items and services.
