Status
Eight hospitals are still participating in the demonstration. The ACA provision grants the hospitals that completed the initially mandated 5-year period an automatic extension for another five years, and allows the selection of additional hospitals to participate for a five year period with the limit that no more than 30 hospitals be allowed to participate in total. Since eight hospitals are currently in the demonstration, a maximum of 22 additional could be selected to participate under a new solicitation, released in August 2010.
