The member of the county fiscal body or board of county commissioners selected under this subsection (or the designee of a member of the board of county commissioners selected under this subsection) must reside in one (1) of the counties in the community mental health center's primary service area. In addition to the county where the center maintains its corporate mailing address, the other counties that are located in the center's primary service area may opt-in under subsection (c) to select a member to serve on the center's governing board.

The member shall be selected by the board of county commissioners of the county where the community mental health center maintains its corporate mailing address. The member of the county fiscal body or board of county commissioners selected under this subsection (or the designee of a member of the board of county commissioners selected under this subsection) must reside in one (1) of the counties in the community mental health center's primary service area. In addition to the county where the center maintains its corporate mailing address, the other counties that are located in the center's primary service area may opt-in under subsection (c) to select a member to serve on the center's advisory board.

(c) Subject to subsections (d), (e), and (f), each county that is located in a community mental health center's primary service area (other than the county where the center maintains its corporate mailing address) may opt-in under this subsection to select a member of the county fiscal body or a member of a board of county commissioners (or the designee of the member of the board of county commissioners) to serve on the center's governing or advisory board, whichever is applicable. In order to opt-in under this subsection, the board of county commissioners of the county must adopt an ordinance by majority vote to do so.

(d) Not withstanding any other provision of this section, in the event the United States Health Resources and Services Administration or another federal agency determines that board selections under this section would result in a reduction in federal funds for the community mental health center or its affiliated federal qualified health center or negatively impact eligibility of the community mental health center or affiliated federal qualified health center to receive any federal funds, the community mental health center shall provide documentation to the division of mental health and addiction and the county commissioners in each county served by the center that documents the determination by the United States Health Resources and Services Administration or another federal agency that federal funds will be reduced or eligibility to receive federal funds would be negatively impacted due to the board selection as provided in this section.

(e) If a determination under subsection (d) is made, the number of seats on the center's governing or advisory board filled under this section shall be reduced by the community mental health center, in coordination with the county commissioners of the counties served by the community mental health center, by only the amount necessary to achieve compliance with federal regulations.

(f) The number of members selected to serve on a community mental health center's governing or advisory board under this section may not exceed three (3) members as follows:

If initially more than two (2) counties adopt ordinances under subsection (c) to opt-in to select a member to serve, all of the counties shall be placed in alphabetical order and the first two (2) counties appearing in that order shall be authorized under subsection (c) to opt-in and select a member to serve. The remaining county or counties shall not select a member to serve as set forth in subsection (c) unless and until a county that was initially or is currently authorized under subsection (c) to opt-in chooses to no longer do so, in which case all of the counties that have adopted an ordinance but are not authorized to select a member to serve under this subsection shall be placed in alphabetical order and the first county appearing in that order shall be authorized under subsection (c) to opt-in and select a member to serve.

Disproportionate share payment methodology for state fiscal years ending on or after June 30, 2000; limits on total disproportionate share payments to hospitals
Status: in_force

Sec. 2.1. (a) This section does not apply during the period that the office is assessing a hospital fee authorized by IC 16-21-10. For each state fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2000, the office shall develop a disproportionate share payment methodology that ensures that each hospital qualifying for disproportionate share payments under IC 12-15-16-1(a) timely receives total disproportionate share payments that do not exceed the hospital's hospital specific limit provided under 42 U.S.C. 1396r-4(g). The payment methodology as developed by the office must:

(1) maximize disproportionate share hospital payments to qualifying hospitals to the extent practicable;

(2) take into account the situation of those qualifying hospitals that have historically qualified for Medicaid disproportionate share payments; and

(3) ensure that payments for qualifying hospitals are equitable.

(b) Total disproportionate share payments to a hospital under this chapter shall not exceed the hospital specific limit provided under 42 U.S.C. 1396r-4(g). The hospital specific limit for a state fiscal year shall be determined by the office taking into account data provided by each hospital that is considered reliable by the office based on a system of periodic audits, the use of trending factors, and an appropriate base year determined by the office. The office may require independent certification of data provided by a hospital to determine the hospital's hospital specific limit.

(c) The office shall include a provision in each amendment to the state plan regarding Medicaid 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 after the end of each federal fiscal year that relate back to a prior federal fiscal year. However, the total disproportionate share payments to:

(1) each individual hospital; and

(2) all qualifying hospitals in the aggregate;

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

Disproportionate share provider status

Sec. 1. (a) A provider that is an acute care hospital licensed under IC 16-21, a state mental health institution under IC 12-24-1-3, or a private psychiatric institution licensed under IC 12-25 is a disproportionate share provider if the provider meets either of the following conditions:

(1) The provider's Medicaid inpatient utilization rate is at least one (1) standard deviation above the mean Medicaid inpatient utilization rate for providers receiving Medicaid payments in Indiana. However, the Medicaid inpatient utilization rate of providers whose low income utilization rate exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) must be excluded in calculating the statewide mean Medicaid inpatient utilization rate.

(2) The provider's low income utilization rate exceeds twenty-five percent (25%).

(b) An acute care hospital licensed under IC 16-21 is a municipal disproportionate share provider if the hospital:

(1) has a Medicaid utilization rate greater than one percent (1%); and

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

(c) A community mental health center:

(1) that is identified in IC 12-29-2-1;

(2) for which a county provides funds under:

(A) IC 12-29-1-7(b) before January 1, 2004; or

(B) IC 12-29-2 after December 31, 2018;

(d) A disproportionate share provider under IC 12-15-17 must have at least two (2) obstetricians who have staff privileges and who have agreed to provide obstetric services under the Medicaid program. For a hospital located in a rural area (as defined in Section 1886 of the Social Security Act), an obstetrician includes a physician with staff privileges at the hospital who has agreed to perform nonemergency obstetric procedures. However, this obstetric service requirement does not apply to a provider whose inpatients are predominantly individuals less than eighteen (18) years of age or that did not offer nonemergency obstetric services as of December 21, 1987.

(e) The determination of a provider's status as a disproportionate share provider under this section shall be based on utilization and revenue data from the most recent year for which an audited cost report from the provider is on file with the office.

(f) Except as provided in section 7.3 of this chapter, no payments shall be made to disproportionate share hospitals for any state fiscal year for which the state directed payment program under IC 16-21-10-8.5 is in effect.
