 18 10 independence and profitability of Iowa's agricultural
 18 11 producers.  To ensure public ownership of plant genetic
 18 12 material, all rights to the research products developed by the
 18 13 Iowa state university of science and technology's botany

 20 21 supplemental disproportionate share and a supplemental
 20 22 indirect medical education adjustment applicable to state-
 20 23 owned acute care hospitals with more than 500 beds and shall
 20 24 reimburse qualifying hospitals pursuant to that adjustment
 20 25 with a supplemental amount for services provided medical
 20 26 assistance recipients.  The adjustment shall generate
 20 27 supplemental payments intended to equal the state
 20 28 appropriation made to a qualifying hospital for treatment of
 20 29 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255.  To the extent
 20 30 of the supplemental payments, a qualifying hospital shall,
 20 31 after receipt of the funds, transfer to the department of
 20 32 human services an amount equal to the actual supplemental
 20 33 payments that were made in that month.  The aggregate amounts
 20 34 for the fiscal year shall not exceed the state appropriation
 20 35 made to the qualifying hospital for treatment of indigent
 21  1 patients as provided in chapter 255.  The department of human
 21  2 services shall deposit these funds in the department's medical
 21  3 assistance account.  To the extent that state funds
 21  4 appropriated to a qualifying hospital for the treatment of
 21  5 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255 have been
 21  6 transferred to the department of human services as a result of
 21  7 these supplemental payments made to the qualifying hospital,
 21  8 the department shall not, directly or indirectly, recoup the
 21  9 supplemental payments made to a qualifying hospital for any
 21 10 reason, unless an equivalent amount of the funds transferred
 21 11 to the department of human services by a qualifying hospital
 21 12 pursuant to this provision is transferred to the qualifying
 21 13 hospital by the department.
 21 14    If the state supplemental amount allotted to the state of
 21 15 Iowa for the federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2001,
 21 16 and ending September 30, 2002, pursuant to section 1923(f)(3)

 21 21 the department of human services shall increase the
 21 22 supplemental disproportionate share or supplemental indirect
 21 23 medical education adjustment by the lesser of the amount
 21 24 necessary to utilize fully the state supplemental amount or
 21 25 the amount of state funds appropriated to the state university
 21 26 of Iowa general education fund and allocated to the university
 21 27 for the college of medicine.  The state university of Iowa
 21 28 shall transfer from the allocation for the college of medicine
 21 29 to the department of human services, on a monthly basis, an
 21 30 amount equal to the additional supplemental payments made
 21 31 during the previous month pursuant to this paragraph.  A
 21 32 qualifying hospital receiving supplemental payments pursuant
 21 33 to this paragraph that are greater than the state
 21 34 appropriation made to the qualifying hospital for treatment of
 21 35 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255 shall be
 22  1 obligated as a condition of its participation in the medical
 22  2 assistance program to transfer to the state university of Iowa
 22  3 general education fund on a monthly basis an amount equal to
 22  4 the funds transferred by the state university of Iowa to the
 22  5 department of human services.  To the extent that state funds
 22  6 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to
 22  7 the college of medicine have been transferred to the
 22  8 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
 22  9 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
 22 10 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
 22 11 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless
 22 12 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the
 22 13 department of human services by the state university of Iowa
 22 14 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying
 22 15 hospital by the department.
 22 16    Continuation of the supplemental disproportionate share and
 22 17 supplemental indirect medical education adjustment shall
 22 18 preserve the funds available to the university hospital for
 22 19 medical and surgical treatment of indigent patients as
 22 20 provided in chapter 255 and to the state university of Iowa
 22 21 for educational purposes at the same level as provided by the
 22 22 state funds initially appropriated for that purpose.
 22 23    The department of human services shall, in any compilation
 22 24 of data or other report distributed to the public concerning
 22 25 payments to providers under the medical assistance program,
 22 26 set forth reimbursements to a qualifying hospital through the
 22 27 supplemental disproportionate share and supplemental indirect
 22 28 medical education adjustment as a separate item and shall not
 22 29 include such payments in the amounts otherwise reported as the
 22 30 reimbursement to a qualifying hospital for services to medical
 22 31 assistance recipients.
 22 32    For purposes of this section, "supplemental payment" means
 22 33 a supplemental payment amount paid for medical assistance to a
 22 34 hospital qualifying for that payment under this section.
