Sec. 1. (a) For the state fiscal years ending on June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1999, the office shall develop an enhanced disproportionate share payment methodology that ensures that each enhanced disproportionate share provider receives total disproportionate share payments that do not exceed its hospital specific limit specified in subsection (c). The methodology developed by the office shall ensure that hospitals operated by or affiliated with the governmental entities described in IC 12-15-18-5.1(a) receive, to the extent practicable, disproportionate share payments equal to their hospital specific limits. The funds shall be distributed to qualifying hospitals in proportion to each qualifying hospital's percentage of the total net hospital specific limits of all qualifying hospitals. A hospital's net hospital specific limit for state fiscal years ending on or before June 30, 1999, is determined under STEP THREE of the following formula:

STEP ONE: Determine the hospital's hospital specific limit under subsection (c).

STEP TWO: Subtract basic disproportionate share payments received by the hospital under IC 12-15-16-6 from the amount determined under STEP ONE.

STEP THREE: Subtract intergovernmental transfers paid by or on behalf of the hospital from the amount determined under STEP TWO.

(b) The office shall include a provision in each amendment to the state plan regarding disproportionate share payments, municipal disproportionate share payments, and community mental health center disproportionate share payments that the office submits to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that, as provided in 42 CFR 447.297(d)(3), allows the state to make additional disproportionate share expenditures, municipal disproportionate share expenditures, and community mental health center disproportionate share expenditures after the end of each federal fiscal year that relate back to a prior federal fiscal year. Each eligible hospital or community mental health center may receive an additional disproportionate share adjustment if:

(1) additional intergovernmental transfers or certifications are made as authorized under IC 12-15-18-5.1; and

(2) the total disproportionate share payments to:

(A) each individual hospital; and

(B) all qualifying hospitals in the aggregate;

do not exceed the limits provided by federal law and regulation.

(c) For state fiscal years ending on or before June 30, 1999, total basic and enhanced disproportionate share payments to a hospital under this chapter and IC 12-15-16 shall not exceed the hospital specific limit provided under 42 U.S.C. 1396r-4(g). The hospital specific limit for state fiscal years ending on or before June 30, 1999, shall be determined by the office taking into account any data provided by each hospital for each hospital's most recent fiscal year (or in cases where a change in fiscal year causes the most recent fiscal period to be less than twelve (12) months, twelve (12) months of data ending at the end of the most recent fiscal year) as certified to the office by:

(1) an independent certified public accounting firm if the hospital is a hospital licensed under IC 16-21 that qualifies under IC 12-15-16-1(a); or

(2) the budget agency if the hospital is a state mental health institution listed under IC 12-24-1-3 that qualifies under either IC 12-15-16-1(a)(1) or IC 12-15-16-1(a)(2);

in accordance with this subsection and federal laws, regulations, and guidelines. The hospital specific limit for state fiscal years ending after June 30, 1999, shall be determined by the office using the methodology described in section 2.1(b) of this chapter.
