 19 29 reimburse qualifying hospitals pursuant to that adjustment
 19 30 with a supplemental amount for services provided medical
 19 31 assistance recipients.  The adjustment shall generate
 19 32 supplemental payments intended to equal the state
 19 33 appropriation made to a qualifying hospital for treatment of
 19 34 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255.  To the extent
 19 35 of the supplemental payments, a qualifying hospital shall,

 20  3 payments that were made in that month.  The aggregate amounts

 20 18 hospital by the department.
 20 19    If the state supplemental amount allotted to the state of

 20 30 the amount of state funds appropriated to the state university
 20 31 of Iowa general education fund and allocated to the university
 20 32 for the college of medicine.  The state university of Iowa

 20 34 to the department of human services, on a monthly basis, an
 20 35 amount equal to the additional supplemental payments made
 21  1 during the previous month pursuant to this paragraph.  A
 21  2 qualifying hospital receiving supplemental payments pursuant
 21  3 to this paragraph that are greater than the state
 21  4 appropriation made to the qualifying hospital for treatment of
 21  5 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255 shall be
 21  6 obligated as a condition of its participation in the medical
 21  7 assistance program to transfer to the state university of Iowa
 21  8 general education fund on a monthly basis an amount equal to
 21  9 the funds transferred by the state university of Iowa to the
 21 10 department of human services.  To the extent that state funds
 21 11 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to
 21 12 the college of medicine have been transferred to the
 21 13 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
 21 14 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
 21 15 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
 21 16 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless
 21 17 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the
 21 18 department of human services by the state university of Iowa
 21 19 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying
 21 20 hospital by the department.
 21 21    Continuation of the supplemental disproportionate share and
 21 22 supplemental indirect medical education adjustment shall
 21 23 preserve the funds available to the university hospital for

 21 25 provided in chapter 255 and to the state university of Iowa
 21 26 for educational purposes at the same level as provided by the
 21 27 state funds initially appropriated for that purpose.
 21 28    The department of human services shall, in any compilation
 21 29 of data or other report distributed to the public concerning
 21 30 payments to providers under the medical assistance program,
 21 31 set forth reimbursements to a qualifying hospital through the
 21 32 supplemental disproportionate share and supplemental indirect
 21 33 medical education adjustment as a separate item and shall not
 21 34 include such payments in the amounts otherwise reported as the
 21 35 reimbursement to a qualifying hospital for services to medical
 22  1 assistance recipients.
