For 17 3 the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1999, and ending June 30, 17 4 2000, the department of human services shall continue the 17 5 supplemental disproportionate share and a supplemental 17 6 indirect medical education adjustment applicable to state- 17 7 owned acute care hospitals with more than 500 beds and shall 17 8 reimburse qualifying hospitals pursuant to that adjustment 17 9 with a supplemental amount for services provided medical 17 10 assistance recipients. The adjustment shall generate 17 11 supplemental payments intended to equal the state 17 12 appropriation made to a qualifying hospital for treatment of 17 13 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255. To the extent 17 14 of the supplemental payments, a qualifying hospital shall, 17 15 after receipt of the funds, transfer to the department of 17 16 human services an amount equal to the actual supplemental 17 17 payments that were made in that month. The aggregate amounts 17 18 for the fiscal year shall not exceed the state appropriation 17 19 made to the qualifying hospital for treatment of indigent 17 20 patients as provided in chapter 255. The department of human 17 21 services shall deposit the portion of these funds equal to the 17 22 state share in the department's medical assistance account and 17 23 the balance shall be credited to the general fund of the 17 24 state. To the extent that state funds appropriated to a 17 25 qualifying hospital for the treatment of indigent patients as 17 26 provided in chapter 255 have been transferred to the 17 27 department of human services as a result of these supplemental 17 28 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall 17 29 not, directly or indirectly, recoup the supplemental payments 17 30 made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless an 17 31 equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the department 17 32 of human services by a qualifying hospital pursuant to this 17 33 provision is transferred to the qualifying hospital by the 17 34 department. 17 35 If the state supplemental amount allotted to the state of 18 1 Iowa for the federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 1999, 18 2 and ending September 30, 2000, pursuant to section 1923(f)(3) 18 3 of the federal Social Security Act, as amended, or pursuant to 18 4 federal payments for indirect medical education is greater 18 5 than the amount necessary to fund the federal share of the 18 6 supplemental payments specified in the preceding paragraph, 18 7 the department of human services shall increase the 18 8 supplemental disproportionate share or supplemental indirect 18 9 medical education adjustment by the lesser of the amount 18 10 necessary to utilize fully the state supplemental amount or 18 11 the amount of state funds appropriated to the state university 18 12 of Iowa general education fund and allocated to the university 18 13 for the college of medicine. The state university of Iowa 18 14 shall transfer from the allocation for the college of medicine 18 15 to the department of human services, on a monthly basis, an 18 16 amount equal to the additional supplemental payments made 18 17 during the previous month pursuant to this paragraph. A 18 18 qualifying hospital receiving supplemental payments pursuant 18 19 to this paragraph that are greater than the state 18 20 appropriation made to the qualifying hospital for treatment of 18 21 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255 shall be 18 22 obligated as a condition of its participation in the medical 18 23 assistance program to transfer to the state university of Iowa 18 24 general education fund on a monthly basis an amount equal to 18 25 the funds transferred by the state university of Iowa to the 18 26 department of human services. To the extent that state funds 18 27 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to 18 28 the college of medicine have been transferred to the 18 29 department of human services as a result of these supplemental 18 30 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall 18 31 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental 18 32 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless 18 33 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the 18 34 department of human services by the state university of Iowa 18 35 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying 19 1 hospital by the department. 19 2 Continuation of the supplemental disproportionate share and 19 3 supplemental indirect medical education adjustment shall 19 4 preserve the funds available to the university hospital for 19 5 medical and surgical treatment of indigent patients as 19 6 provided in chapter 255 and to the state university of Iowa 19 7 for educational purposes at the same level as provided by the 19 8 state funds initially appropriated for that purpose. 19 9 The department of human services shall, in any compilation 19 10 of data or other report distributed to the public concerning 19 11 payments to providers under the medical assistance program, 19 12 set forth reimbursements to a qualifying hospital through the 19 13 supplemental disproportionate share and supplemental indirect 19 14 medical education adjustment as a separate item and shall not 19 15 include such payments in the amounts otherwise reported as the 19 16 reimbursement to a qualifying hospital for services to medical 19 17 assistance recipients. 19 18 For purposes of this section, "supplemental payment" means 19 19 a supplemental payment amount paid for medical assistance to a 19 20 hospital qualifying for that payment under this section. 19 21 Sec. 10.
