21 23 assistance recipients. The adjustment shall generate
21 24 supplemental payments intended to equal the state

23 3 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to
23 4 the college of medicine have been transferred to the
23 5 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
23 6 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
23 7 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
23 8 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless
23 9 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the
23 10 department of human services by the state university of Iowa
23 11 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying
23 12 hospital by the department.

23 19 state funds initially appropriated for that purpose.
23 20 The department of human services shall, in any compilation
23 21 of data or other report distributed to the public concerning
23 22 payments to providers under the medical assistance program,
23 23 set forth reimbursements to a qualifying hospital through the
23 24 supplemental disproportionate share and supplemental indirect
23 25 medical education adjustment as a separate item and shall not
23 26 include such payments in the amounts otherwise reported as the
23 27 reimbursement to a qualifying hospital for services to medical
23 28 assistance recipients.
