b)         The add-on payment shall be the sum of the following calculations:

1)         The product of:

A)        The claim line's covered charges; and

B)        The hospital's total acute cost to charge ratio as defined in subsection (b)(3).

2)         The sum of:

A)        The claim line's EAPG payment; and

3)         The product of:

A)        The difference between subsections (b)(2)(A) and (2)(B); and

c)         For purposes of this Section, estimated claim cost is based on the product of the claim total covered charges and the hospital's Medicare IPPS outlier cost-to-charge ratio.  The Medicare IPPS outlier cost-to-charge ratio is determined based on:

1)         For Medicare IPPS hospitals, the outlier cost-to-charge ratio is based on the sum of the Medicare inpatient prospective payment system hospital-specific operating and capital outlier cost-to-charge ratios effective at the beginning of the federal fiscal year starting three months prior to the calendar year during which the discharge occurred.

2)         For non-Medicare IPPS, the outlier cost-to-charge ratio is based on the sum of the Medicare inpatient prospective payment system statewide average operating and capital outlier cost-to-charge ratios for urban hospitals for the state in which the hospital is located, effective at the beginning of the federal fiscal year starting three months prior to the calendar year during which the discharge occurred.
