Value of Community Benefit: 2011
1. The Medi-Cal program partially offsets these losses through the Disproportionate Share Hospital Program, designed to support “safety net” hospitals, such as Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The Hospital received $44.7 million in Disproportionate Share Hospital Funding in 2011.
2. Includes cost of care provided to underinsured and or uninsured children.
3. In January 2010, the State of California enacted legislation that provides for supplemental payments to certain hospitals funded by a quality assurance fee paid by participating hospitals, as well as matching federal funds (Hospital Fee Program). The payments and fees under the Hospital Fee Program are retroactive to April 1, 2009. Supplemental payments and fees related to the Hospital Fee Program produced a net benefit of $114.4 million to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.
