Under CMS's hold-harmless policy, a hospital's Medicaid proxy for periods prior to 2000 may include certain state-only program days for patients who were not eligible for medical assistance under an approved Medicaid state plan if the hospital either received DSH payments that included the same type of days in previous cost-reporting periods settled before October 15, 1999, or filed an appeal citing exclusion of these days from the Medicare DSH formula before October 15, 1999.
