The Diamond State Hospital Cost Review Board (DSHCRB) posts this guidance and exhibit set for the 2027 filing cycle, covering FY2026 (June 30 fiscal year-end hospitals) and FY2025 (December 31 fiscal year-end hospitals).
Hospitals submit this information annually under 16 Del. C. § 9953(a) and 16 DE Admin. Code 5003. The Board uses it to issue findings under § 9953(d)(7) on whether each hospital met the state’s health-care spending policy directive, measured against Delaware’s Health Care Spending Benchmark (4.2% for 2025, 4.9% for 2026).
This package includes the submission guidance, exhibit templates, and instructions. Questions may be directed to: DHCC@delaware.gov.
