Reimbursement to hospitals for outpatient hospital services; intergovernmental transfers; calculating Medicaid shortfall
Status: in_force

Sec. 1.3. (a) This section applies to a hospital that is:

(1) licensed under IC 16-21; and

(2) established and operated under IC 16-22-2, IC 16-22-8, or IC 16-23.

This section does not apply during the period that the office is assessing a hospital fee authorized by IC 16-21-10.

(b) For a state fiscal year ending after June 30, 2003, in addition to reimbursement received under section 1 of this chapter, a hospital is entitled to reimbursement in an amount calculated as follows:

STEP ONE: The office shall identify the aggregate outpatient hospital services, reimbursable under this article and under the state Medicaid plan, that were provided during the state fiscal year by hospitals established and operated under IC 16-22-2, IC 16-22-8, or IC 16-23.

STEP TWO: For the aggregate outpatient hospital services identified under STEP ONE, the office shall calculate the aggregate payments made under this article and under the state Medicaid plan to hospitals established and operated under IC 16-22-2, IC 16-22-8, or IC 16-23, excluding payments under IC 12-15-16, IC 12-15-17, and IC 12-15-19.

STEP THREE: The office shall calculate a reasonable estimate of the amount that would have been paid in the aggregate by the office under Medicare payment principles for the outpatient hospital services described in STEP ONE.

STEP FOUR: Subtract the amount calculated under STEP TWO from the amount calculated under STEP THREE.

STEP FIVE: Subject to subsection (g), from the amount calculated under STEP FOUR, allocate to a hospital established and operated under IC 16-22-8 an amount not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between:

(A) the total cost for the hospital's provision of outpatient services covered under this article for the hospital's fiscal year ending during the state fiscal year; and

(B) the total payment to the hospital for its provision of outpatient services covered under this article for the hospital's fiscal year ending during the state fiscal year, excluding payments under IC 12-15-16, IC 12-15-17, and IC 12-15-19.

STEP SIX: Subtract the amount calculated under STEP FIVE from the amount calculated under STEP FOUR.

STEP SEVEN: Distribute an amount equal to the amount calculated under STEP SIX to the eligible hospitals established and operated under IC 16-22-2 or IC 16-23 described in subsection (c) in an amount not to exceed each hospital's Medicaid shortfall as defined in subsection (f).

(c) A hospital is not eligible for a payment described in this section unless:

(1) an intergovernmental transfer is made by the hospital or on behalf of the hospital; or

(2) the hospital or another entity certifies the hospital's expenditures as eligible for federal financial participation.

(d) Subject to subsection (e):

(1) an intergovernmental transfer may be made by or on behalf of the hospital; or

(2) a certification of expenditures as eligible for federal financial participation may be made;

after the close of each state fiscal year. An intergovernmental transfer under this subsection must be made to the Medicaid indigent care trust fund in an amount equal to a percentage, as determined by the office, of the amount to be distributed to the hospital under subsection (b). The office shall use the intergovernmental transfer to fund payments made under this section.

(e) A hospital that makes a certification of expenditures or makes or has an intergovernmental transfer made on the hospital's behalf under this section may appeal under IC 4-21.5 the amount determined by the office to be paid by the hospital under subsection (b). The periods described in subsections (c) and (d) for the hospital or other entity to make an intergovernmental transfer or certification of expenditures are tolled pending the administrative appeal and any judicial review initiated by the hospital under IC 4-21.5. The distribution to other hospitals under subsection (b) may not be delayed due to an administrative appeal or judicial review instituted by a hospital under this subsection. If necessary, the office may make a partial distribution to the other eligible hospitals under subsection (b) pending the completion of a hospital's administrative appeal or judicial review, at which time the remaining portion of the payments due to the eligible hospitals must be made. A partial distribution may be calculated by the office based upon estimates and trends.

(f) For purposes of this section:

(1) the Medicaid shortfall of a hospital established and operated under IC 16-22-2 or IC 16-23 is calculated as follows:

STEP ONE: The office shall identify the outpatient hospital services, reimbursable under this article and under the state Medicaid plan, that were provided during the state fiscal year by the hospital.

STEP TWO: For the outpatient hospital services identified under STEP ONE, the office shall calculate the payments made under this article and under the state Medicaid plan to the hospital, excluding payments under IC 12-15-16, IC 12-15-17, and IC 12-15-19.

STEP THREE: The office shall calculate a reasonable estimate of the amount that would have been paid by the office for the outpatient hospital services described in STEP ONE under Medicare payment principles; and

(2) a hospital's Medicaid shortfall is equal to the amount by which the amount calculated in STEP THREE of subdivision (1) is greater than the amount calculated in STEP TWO of subdivision (1).

(g) The actual distribution of the amount calculated under STEP FIVE of subsection (b) to a hospital established and operated under IC 16-22-8 shall be made under the terms and conditions provided for the hospital in the state plan for medical assistance. Payment to a hospital under STEP FIVE of subsection (b) is not a condition precedent to the tender of payments to hospitals under STEP SEVEN of subsection (b).
