The Medicaid indigent care trust fund is established to pay the non-federal share of the following:
shall be used to fund the state's share of disproportionate share payments to providers under IC 12-15-19-2.1. The remainder of the intergovernmental transfers, if any, must be used to fund the state's share of additional Medicaid payments to hospitals licensed under IC 16-21 pursuant to a methodology adopted by the office.
STEP ONE: Calculate the product of thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) multiplied by the federal medical assistance percentage for federal fiscal year 2003.
STEP TWO: Calculate the sum of the amounts, if any, reasonably estimated by the office to be transferred or otherwise made available to the office for the state fiscal year, and the amounts, if any, actually transferred or otherwise made available to the office for the state fiscal year, under arrangements whereby the office and a hospital licensed under IC 16-21-2 agree that an amount transferred or otherwise made available to the office by the hospital or on behalf of the hospital shall be included in the calculation under this STEP.
STEP THREE: Calculate the amount by which the product calculated under STEP ONE exceeds the sum calculated under STEP TWO.
Items (ii) through (x) do not apply during the period that the office is assessing a hospital fee authorized by IC 16-21-10.
