Methodology, in brief

Payment figures come from the CMS Medicare DSH Supplemental Data Files published with the FY2026 and FY2027 IPPS final rules. A hospital's total here is its interim uncompensated care payment for the year, plus the supplemental payment CMS lists for Puerto Rico and Indian Health Service hospitals where one applies. This is not total DSH money and it is not total hospital revenue. The empirically justified DSH payment, outlier payments and every other payment stream sit outside this tool. Markets follow the CMS geographic labor market areas: one market per urban CBSA, and one statewide rural market per state. Maryland hospitals are paid under the state's all-payer model rather than IPPS, so they do not receive these payments and Maryland shows empty on the map. Figures are estimates built from public files, and interim amounts change when CMS updates Factor 3 or a hospital's claims data, so verify against primary sources before a number goes into a filing or a negotiation.
