16   the state supplemental amount or the amount of state

17   funds appropriated to the state university of Iowa
18   general education fund and allocated to the university
19   for the college of medicine.  The state university of
20   Iowa shall transfer from the allocation for the
21   college of medicine to the department of human
22   services, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the
23   additional supplemental payments made during the
24   previous month pursuant to this paragraph.  A
25   qualifying hospital receiving supplemental payments
26   pursuant to this paragraph that are greater than the
27   state appropriation made to the qualifying hospital
28   for treatment of indigent patients as provided in
29   chapter 255 shall be obligated as a condition of its
30   participation in the medical assistance program to
31   transfer to the state university of Iowa general
32   education fund on a monthly basis an amount equal to
33   the funds transferred by the state university of Iowa
34   to the department of human services.  To the extent
35   that state funds appropriated to the state university
36   of Iowa and allocated to the college of medicine have
37   been transferred to the department of human services
38   as a result of these supplemental payments made to the
39   qualifying hospital, the department shall not,
40   directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
41   payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason,
42   unless an equivalent amount of the funds transferred
43   to the department of human services by the state
44   university of Iowa pursuant to this paragraph is
45   transferred to the qualifying hospital by the
46   department.
47     Continuation of the supplemental disproportionate
48   share and supplemental indirect medical education
49   adjustment shall preserve the funds available to the
50   university hospital for medical and surgical treatment

 5     The department of human services shall, in any
 6   compilation of data or other report distributed to the

 8   medical assistance program, set forth reimbursements
 9   to a qualifying hospital through the supplemental
10   disproportionate share and supplemental indirect
11   medical education adjustment as a separate item and
12   shall not include such payments in the amounts
13   otherwise reported as the reimbursement to a
14   qualifying hospital for services to medical assistance
