To the extent that state funds 19 16 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to 19 17 the college of medicine have been transferred to the 19 18 department of human services as a result of these supplemental 19 19 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall 19 20 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental 19 21 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless 19 22 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the 19 23 department of human services by the state university of Iowa 19 24 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying 19 25 hospital by the department. 19 26 Continuation of the supplemental disproportionate share and 19 27 supplemental indirect medical education adjustment shall 19 28 preserve the funds available to the university hospital for 19 29 medical and surgical treatment of indigent patients as 19 30 provided in chapter 255 and to the state university of Iowa 19 31 for educational purposes at the same level as provided by the 19 32 state funds initially appropriated for that purpose. 19 33 The department of human services shall, in any compilation 19 34 of data or other report distributed to the public concerning 19 35 payments to providers under the medical assistance program, 20 1 set forth reimbursements to a qualifying hospital through the 20 2 supplemental disproportionate share and supplemental indirect 20 3 medical education adjustment as a separate item and shall not 20 4 include such payments in the amounts otherwise reported as the 20 5 reimbursement to a qualifying hospital for services to medical 20 6 assistance recipients. 20 7 For purposes of this section, "supplemental payment" means 20 8 a supplemental payment amount paid for medical assistance to a 20 9 hospital qualifying for that payment under this section. 20 10 Sec. 15.
