(c) The township trustee is not required to pay for any utility service:

(1) that is not properly charged to:

(A) an adult member of a household;

(B) an emancipated minor who is head of the household; or

(C) a landlord or former member of the household if the applicant proves that the applicant:

(i) received the services as a tenant residing at the service address at the time the cost was incurred; and

(ii) is responsible for payment of the bill;

(2) received as a result of a fraudulent act by any adult member of a household requesting township assistance; or

(d) The amount paid by the township trustee, as administrator of township assistance, and the amount charged for water services may not exceed the minimum rate charged for the service as fixed by the Indiana utility regulatory commission.

(e) This subsection applies only during the part of each year when applications for heating assistance are accepted by the lieutenant governor under IC 4-4-33. A township trustee may not provide assistance to make any part of a payment for heating fuel or electric services for more than thirty (30) days unless the individual files an application with the township trustee that includes the following:

However, if the applicant household is eligible under criteria established by the lieutenant governor for energy assistance under IC 4-4-33, the trustee may certify the applicant as eligible for that assistance by completing an application form prescribed by the state board of accounts and forwarding the eligibility certificate to the lieutenant governor within the period established for the acceptance of applications. If the trustee follows this certification procedure, no other application is required for assistance under IC 4-4-33.

(f) If an individual or a member of an individual's household has received assistance under subsection (b), the individual must, before the individual or the member of the individual's household may receive further assistance under subsection (b), certify whether the individual's or household's income, resources, or household size has changed since the individual filed the most recent application for township assistance. If the individual or a member of the individual's household certifies that the income, resources, or household size has changed, the township trustee shall review the individual's or household's eligibility and may make any necessary adjustments in the level of assistance provided to the individual or to a member of the individual's household.

Additional reimbursements to certain hospitals; appeal of amount of distribution
Status: in_force

Sec. 1.5. (a) This section applies to a hospital that:

(1) is licensed under IC 16-21;

(2) is not a unit of state or local government; and

(3) is not owned or operated by a unit of state or local government.

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, and before July 1, 2007, in addition to reimbursement received under section 1 of this chapter, a hospital eligible under this section is entitled to reimbursement in an amount calculated as follows:

STEP ONE: The office shall identify the total inpatient hospital services and the total outpatient hospital services, reimbursable under this article and under the state Medicaid plan, that were provided during the state fiscal year by the hospitals described in subsection (a).

STEP TWO: For the total inpatient hospital services and the total 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 described in subsection (a), 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 for the inpatient hospital services and the outpatient hospital services identified in STEP ONE under Medicare payment principles.

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

STEP FIVE: Distribute an amount equal to the amount calculated under STEP FOUR to the eligible hospitals described in subsection (a) as follows:

(A) Subject to the availability of funds under IC 12-15-20-2(8)(D) to serve as the nonfederal share of such payment, the first ten million dollars ($10,000,000) of the amount calculated under STEP FOUR for a state fiscal year shall be paid to a hospital described in subsection (a) that has more than sixty thousand (60,000) Medicaid inpatient days.

(B) Following the payment to the hospital under clause (A) and subject to the availability of funds under IC 12-15-20-2(8)(D) to serve as the nonfederal share of such payments, the remaining amount calculated under STEP FOUR for a state fiscal year shall be paid to all hospitals described in subsection (a). The payments shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the hospitals' Medicaid inpatient days or other payment methodology approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. For purposes of this clause, a hospital's Medicaid inpatient days are the hospital's in-state and paid Medicaid fee for service and managed care days for the state fiscal year for which services are identified under STEP ONE, as determined by the office.

(C) Subject to IC 12-15-20.7, in the event the entirety of the amount calculated under STEP FOUR is not distributed following the payments made under clauses (A) and (B), the remaining amount may be paid to hospitals described in subsection (a) that are eligible under this clause. A hospital is eligible for a payment under this clause only if the nonfederal share of the hospital's payment is provided by or on behalf of the hospital. The remaining amount shall be paid to those eligible hospitals:

(i) on a pro rata basis in relation to all hospitals eligible under this clause based on the hospitals' Medicaid inpatient days; or

(ii) other payment methodology determined by the office and approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

(c) As used in this subsection, "Medicaid supplemental payments" means Medicaid payments for hospitals that are in addition to Medicaid fee-for-service payments, Medicaid risk-based managed care payments, and Medicaid disproportionate share payments, and that are included in the Medicaid state plan, including Medicaid safety-net payments, and payments made under this section and sections 1.1, 1.3, 9, and 9.5 of this chapter. For a state fiscal year ending after June 30, 2007, in addition to the reimbursement received under section 1 of this chapter, a hospital eligible under this section is entitled to reimbursement in an amount calculated as follows:

STEP ONE: The office shall identify the total inpatient hospital services and the total outpatient hospital services reimbursable under this article and under the state Medicaid plan that were provided during the state fiscal year for all hospitals described in subsection (a).

STEP TWO: For the total inpatient hospital services and the total outpatient hospital services identified in STEP ONE, the office shall calculate the total payments made under this article and under the state Medicaid plan to all hospitals described in subsection (a). A calculation under this STEP excludes a payment made under the following:

(A) IC 12-15-16.

(B) IC 12-15-17.

(C) IC 12-15-19.

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

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

STEP FIVE: Distribute an amount equal to the amount calculated under STEP FOUR to the eligible hospitals described in subsection (a) as follows:

(A) As used in this clause, "Medicaid inpatient days" are the hospital's in-state paid Medicaid fee for service and risk-based managed care days for the state fiscal year for which services are identified under STEP ONE, as determined by the office. Subject to the availability of funds transferred to the Medicaid indigent care trust fund under STEP FOUR of IC 12-16-7.5-4.5(c) and remaining in the Medicaid indigent care trust fund under IC 12-15-20-2(8)(G) to serve as the nonfederal share of the payments, the amount calculated under STEP FOUR for a state fiscal year shall be paid to all hospitals described in subsection (a). The payments shall be made on a pro rata basis, based on the hospitals' Medicaid inpatient days or in accordance with another payment methodology determined by the office and approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

(B) Subject to IC 12-15-20.7, if the entire amount calculated under STEP FOUR is not distributed following the payments made under clause (A), the remaining amount shall be paid as described in clauses (C) and (D) to a hospital that is described in subsection (a) and that is described as eligible under this clause. A hospital is eligible for a payment under clause (C) only if the hospital:

(i) has less than sixty thousand (60,000) Medicaid inpatient days annually;

(ii) was eligible for Medicaid disproportionate share hospital payments in the state fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, or the hospital met the office's Medicaid disproportionate share payment criteria based upon state fiscal year 1998 data and received a Medicaid disproportionate share payment for the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2001; and

(iii) received a Medicaid disproportionate share payment under IC 12-15-19-2.1 for state fiscal years 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004.

The payment amount under clause (C) for an eligible hospital is subject to the availability of the nonfederal share of the hospital's payment being provided by the hospital or on behalf of the hospital.

(C) For state fiscal years ending after June 30, 2007, but before July 1, 2009, payments to eligible hospitals described in clause (B) shall be made as follows:

(i) The payment to an eligible hospital that merged two (2) hospitals under a single Medicaid provider number effective January 1, 2004, shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the hospital's hospital-specific limit for the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, when the payment is combined with any Medicaid disproportionate share payment made under IC 12-15-19-2.1, Medicaid, and other Medicaid supplemental payments, paid or to be paid to the hospital for a state fiscal year.

(ii) The payment to an eligible hospital described in clause (B) other than a hospital described in item (i) shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the hospital's hospital specific limit for the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, when the payment is combined with any Medicaid disproportionate share payment made under IC 12-15-19-2.1, Medicaid, and other Medicaid supplemental payments, paid or to be paid to the hospital for a state fiscal year.

(D) For state fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2009, payments to an eligible hospital described in clause (B) shall be made in a manner determined by the office.

(E) Subject to IC 12-15-20.7, if the entire amount calculated under STEP FOUR is not distributed following the payments made under clause (A) and clauses (C) or (D), the remaining amount may be paid as described in clause (F) to a hospital described in subsection (a) that is described as eligible under this clause. A hospital is eligible for a payment for a state fiscal year under clause (F) if the hospital:

(i) is eligible to receive Medicaid disproportionate share payments for the state fiscal year for which the Medicaid disproportionate share payment is attributable under IC 12-15-19-2.1, for a state fiscal year ending after June 30, 2007; and

(ii) does not receive a payment under clauses (C) or (D) for the state fiscal year.

A payment to a hospital under this clause is subject to the availability of nonfederal matching funds.

(F) Payments to eligible hospitals described in clause (E) shall be made:

(i) to best use federal matching funds available for hospitals that are eligible for Medicaid disproportionate share payments under IC 12-15-19-2.1; and

(ii) by using a methodology that allocates available funding under this clause, Medicaid supplemental payments, and payments under IC 12-15-19-2.1, in a manner in which all hospitals eligible under clause (E) receive payments in a manner that takes into account the situation of eligible hospitals that have historically qualified for Medicaid disproportionate share payments and ensures that payments for eligible hospitals are equitable.

(G) If the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services does not approve the payment methodologies in clauses (A) through (F), the office may implement alternative payment methodologies that are eligible for federal financial participation to implement a program consistent with the payments for hospitals described in clauses (A) through (F).

(d) A hospital described in subsection (a) may appeal under IC 4-21.5 the amount determined by the office to be paid to the hospital under STEP FIVE of subsections (b) or (c). The distribution to other hospitals under STEP FIVE of subsection (b) or (c) 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 STEP FIVE of subsection (b) or (c) 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 shall be made. A partial distribution may be based on estimates and trends calculated by the office.

STEP THREE: Determine the amount of the certified levy for funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the immediately preceding calendar year.

STEP FOUR: Determine the result of the STEP TWO amount divided by the STEP THREE amount.

STEP FIVE: Determine the product of the STEP ONE amount multiplied by the STEP FOUR result.

STEP SIX: Determine the STEP FIVE amount plus one (1).

The department of local government finance shall verify the maximum appropriation calculation under this subsection as part of the certification of the county's budget under IC 6-1.1-17. For taxes due and payable in 2020, the department of local government finance shall calculate the maximum appropriation under this subsection as if the taxes were due and payable in 2019.

(c) This subsection applies only in calendar year 2019, calendar year 2020, and calendar year 2021. In the case of Marion County, the amount of funding under subsection (a) for a calendar year is determined under this subsection and is equal to the following:

(1) For calendar year 2019, the sum of:

(A) the actual amount of the appropriations by the county for community mental health centers under this chapter in 2018; plus

(B) the result of thirty-three percent (33%) multiplied by the result of:

(i) the amount that would have, except for the application of this subsection, applied to the county under subsection (b) for calendar year 2019; minus

(ii) the actual amount of the appropriations by the county for community mental health centers under this chapter in 2018.

(g) The township trustee may not cremate a deceased individual if:

(1) the deceased individual; or

(2) a surviving family member of the deceased individual;

has objected in writing to cremation.

Status: in_force

Note: This version of section effective 1-1-2027. See also preceding version of this section, effective until 1-1-2027.

Sec. 4.9. (a) An individual who is approved to participate in the plan is eligible if the individual continues to meet the plan requirements specified in this chapter.

(b) If an individual chooses to renew participation in the plan, the individual is subject to a semiannual renewal process to determine continued eligibility for participating in the plan.

(c) This subsection applies to participants who consistently made the required payments in the individual's health care account. If the individual receives the qualified preventative services recommended to the individual during the year, the individual is eligible to have the individual's unused share of the individual's health care account at the end of the plan period, determined by the office, matched by the state and carried over to the subsequent plan period to reduce the individual's required payments. If the individual did not, during the plan period, receive all qualified preventative services recommended to the individual, only the nonstate contribution to the health care account may be used to reduce the individual's payments for the subsequent plan period.

(d) For individuals participating in the plan who, in the past, did not make consistent payments into the individual's health care account while participating in the plan, but:

(1) had a balance remaining in the individual's health care account; and

(2) received all of the required preventative care services;

the secretary may elect to offer a discount on the individual's required payments to the individual's health care account for the subsequent benefit year. The amount of the discount under this subsection must be related to the percentage of the health care account balance at the end of the plan year but not to exceed a fifty percent (50%) discount of the required contribution.

(e) If an individual is no longer eligible for the plan, does not renew participation in the plan at the end of the plan period, or is terminated from the plan for nonpayment of a required payment, the office shall, not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the last date of the plan benefit period, refund to the individual the amount determined under subsection (f) of any funds remaining in the individual's health care account as follows:

(1) An individual who is no longer eligible for the plan or does not renew participation in the plan at the end of the plan period shall receive the amount determined under STEP FOUR of subsection (f).

(2) An individual who is terminated from the plan due to nonpayment of a required payment shall receive the amount determined under STEP SIX of subsection (f).

The office may charge a penalty for any voluntary withdrawals from the health care account by the individual before the end of the plan benefit year. The individual may receive the amount determined under STEP SIX of subsection (f).

(f) The office, under the direction of the secretary, shall determine the amount payable to an individual described in subsection (e) as follows:

STEP ONE: Determine the total amount paid into the individual's health care account under this chapter.

STEP TWO: Determine the total amount paid into the individual's health care account from all sources.

STEP THREE: Divide STEP ONE by STEP TWO.

STEP FOUR: Multiply the ratio determined in STEP THREE by the total amount remaining in the individual's health care account.

STEP FIVE: Subtract any nonpayments of a required payment.

STEP SIX: Multiply the amount determined under STEP FIVE by at least seventy-five hundredths (0.75).

(g) The office of the secretary shall conduct an eligibility redetermination for each plan participant at least one (1) time every six (6) months.
