Medicaid-Eligible Hospitals include acute care hospitals, cancer hospitals, and critical access hospitals that are considered short-term stay hospitals (less than 25 days ALOS).

These hospital types must meet an annual 10% Medicaid patient volume threshold requirement and have a CMS Certification Number (CCN) with the last four digits that fall in the range of 0001 through 0879 or 1300-1399.

Hospitals can receive both Medicaid and Medicare EHR Incentive Payments in a payment year.

Medicaid-eligible hospitals also include free-standing children's hospitals having a CCN with the last four digits that fall in the range of 3300-3399.

Children's hospitals do not have an annual Medicaid patient volume requirement.
