HHS provided details on the most recent disbursement from the provider relief fund in a June 9 release. To qualify for a slice of the funding, safety-net hospitals must have average uncompensated care per bed of at least $25,000, profitability of 3 percent or less and a Medicare Disproportionate Payment Percentage of 20.2 percent or greater. 

HHS said each safety-net hospital that qualifies for relief aid will receive between $5 million and $50 million. 

Below is a breakdown of how much funding safety-net hospitals in each state will receive from the $10 billion and the total number of hospitals receiving payments. HHS combined the totals in three cases: District of Columbia, Delaware and Maryland; North Dakota and South Dakota; and Vermont and New Hampshire.
