All providers of services to obstetrical and newborn patients under this chapter shall agree to accept as full payment the reimbursements allowable under the medical assistance program established pursuant to chapter 249A, adjusted for intensity of care. However, the total reimbursement from the obstetrical and newborn patient care fund to providers of services for residents of a county is limited to that county's obstetrical and newborn patient quota multiplied by the medical assistance program's average reimbursement for obstetrical and newborn care for the most recent fiscal year except as otherwise provided in this section. The Iowa department of public health shall reserve ten percent of the fund annually for payment of the costs of care of a patient certified for care under this chapter in excess of the medical assistance program's average reimbursements if the nature and extent of the care justifies such additional reimbursement. The department shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 17A, establishing the requirements for such additional reimbursement.
