CMS Temporarily Disabled Access to patient-level SSI Data

CMS has temporarily disabled access to patient-level SSI data. No reason has been specified.

GDS includes SSI Realignment Analysis with our Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital Reimbursement engagements. We also handle SSI Realignment requests stretching back to the beginning of the Medicare DSH add-on payment and understand the many nuances related thereto. Contact me or your GDS representative for more information.

Here is the message currently available from CMS:

DSH USER ALERT!!!New!! CMS is temporarily taking the DSH application offline effective immediately. This includes granting new access and adding any additional providers that come through the mailbox. Our approach to DSH data access is being revised and we will keep everyone updated on the next steps. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation and patience during this time.
