Ind. Code § 12-15-15-9.5 — Indiana Code / Title 12 / Article 15 / Chapter 15 / Section 12-15-15-9.5
Attribution of payable claim to county; funds available for payments; limitation on payments
Status: in_force

Sec. 9.5. (a) For purposes of this section and IC 12-16-7.5-4.5, a payable claim is attributed to a county if the payable claim is submitted to the division by a hospital licensed under IC 16-21-2 for payment under IC 12-16-7.5 for care provided by the hospital to an individual who qualifies for the hospital care for the indigent program under IC 12-16-3.5-1 or IC 12-16-3.5-2 and:

(1) who is a resident of the county;

(2) who is not a resident of the county and for whom the onset of the medical condition that necessitated the care occurred in the county; or

(3) whose residence cannot be determined by the division and for whom the onset of the medical condition that necessitated the care occurred in the county.

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

(b) For each state fiscal year ending after June 30, 2003, but before July 1, 2007, a hospital licensed under IC 16-21-2:

(1) that submits to the division during the state fiscal year a payable claim under IC 12-16-7.5; and

(2) whose payment under section 9(c) of this chapter was less than the total amount of the hospital's payable claims under IC 12-16-7.5 submitted by the hospital to the division during the state fiscal year;

is entitled to a payment under subsection (c).

(c) Subject to section 9.6 of this chapter, for a state fiscal year, the office shall pay to a hospital referred to in subsection (b) an amount equal to the amount, based on information obtained from the division and the calculations and allocations made under IC 12-16-7.5-4.5, that the office determines for the hospital under STEP EIGHT of the following STEPS:

STEP ONE: Identify each county whose transfer of funds to the Medicaid indigent care trust fund under IC 12-16-7.5-4.5 for the state fiscal year was less than the total amount of all hospital payable claims attributed to the county and submitted to the division during the state fiscal year.

STEP TWO: For each county identified in STEP ONE, calculate the difference between the amount of funds of the county transferred to the Medicaid indigent care trust fund under IC 12-16-7.5-4.5 and the total amount of all hospital payable claims attributed to the county and submitted to the division during the state fiscal year.

STEP THREE: Calculate the sum of the amounts calculated for the counties under STEP TWO.

STEP FOUR: Identify each hospital whose payment under section 9(c) of this chapter was less than the total amount of the hospital's payable claims under IC 12-16-7.5 submitted by the hospital to the division during the state fiscal year.

STEP FIVE: Calculate for each hospital identified in STEP FOUR the difference between the hospital's payment under section 9(c) of this chapter and the total amount of the hospital's payable claims under IC 12-16-7.5 submitted by the hospital to the division during the state fiscal year.

STEP SIX: Calculate the sum of the amounts calculated for each of the hospitals under STEP FIVE.

STEP SEVEN: For each hospital identified in STEP FOUR, calculate the hospital's percentage share of the amount calculated under STEP SIX. Each hospital's percentage share is based on the amount calculated for the hospital under STEP FIVE calculated as a percentage of the sum calculated under STEP SIX.

STEP EIGHT: For each hospital identified in STEP FOUR, multiply the hospital's percentage share calculated under STEP SEVEN by the sum calculated under STEP THREE. The amount calculated under this STEP for a hospital may not exceed the amount by which the hospital's total payable claims under IC 12-16-7.5 submitted during the state fiscal year exceeded the amount of the hospital's payment under section 9(c) of this chapter.

(d) For state fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2007, a hospital that received a payment determined under STEP EIGHT of subsection (c) for the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, shall be paid an amount equal to the amount determined for the hospital under STEP EIGHT of subsection (c) for the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

(e) A hospital's payment under subsection (c) or (d) is in the form of a Medicaid supplemental payment. The amount of the hospital's add-on payment is subject to the availability of funding for the nonfederal share of the payment under subsection (f). The office shall make the payments under subsection (c) or (d) before December 15 that next succeeds the end of the state fiscal year.

(f) The nonfederal share of a payment to a hospital under subsection (c) or (d) is derived from funds transferred to the Medicaid indigent care trust fund under IC 12-16-7.5-4.5 and not expended under section 9 of this chapter.

(g) Except as provided in subsection (h), the office may not make a payment under this section until the payments due under section 9 of this chapter for the state fiscal year have been made.

(h) If a hospital appeals a decision by the office regarding the hospital's payment under section 9 of this chapter, the office may make payments under this section before all payments due under section 9 of this chapter are made if:

(1) a delay in one (1) or more payments under section 9 of this chapter resulted from the appeal; and

(2) the office determines that making payments under this section while the appeal is pending will not unreasonably affect the interests of hospitals eligible for a payment under this section.

(i) Any funds transferred to the Medicaid indigent care trust fund under IC 12-16-7.5-4.5 remaining after payments are made under this section shall be used as provided in IC 12-15-20-2(8).

(j) For purposes of subsection (c):

(1) "payable claim" has the meaning set forth in IC 12-16-7.5-2.5(b);

(2) the amount of a payable claim is an amount equal to the amount the hospital would have received under the state's fee-for-service Medicaid reimbursement principles for the hospital care for which the payable claim is submitted under IC 12-16-7.5 if the individual receiving the hospital care had been a Medicaid enrollee; and

(3) a payable hospital claim under IC 12-16-7.5 includes a payable claim under IC 12-16-7.5 for the hospital's care submitted by an individual or entity other than the hospital, to the extent permitted under the hospital care for the indigent program.
