(A) is designated by the Medicare program as a children's hospital; or

(b) This section applies to reimbursement for inpatient Medicaid services and outpatient Medicaid services provided to a Medicaid recipient who is less than nineteen (19) years of age at a children's hospital that is located in a state bordering Indiana.

The office may, upon factoring in the cost outlier case in determining the final reimbursement rate, make retroactive reimbursements to an out of state children's hospital to the date of the initial Medicaid waiver application.

(d) Before September 1, 2021, the office shall apply to the United States Department of Health and Human Services for any state plan amendment or Medicaid waiver necessary to implement and administer this section.
