Sec. 25. Medical research and development challenge program.

(a) The State shall provide the following financial incentives to draw private and federal funding for biomedical research, technology and programmatic development:

(1) Each qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital shall receive a percentage of the amount available for distribution from the National Institutes of Health Account, equal to that hospital's percentage of the total contracts and grants from the National Institutes of Health awarded to qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospitals and their affiliated medical schools during the preceding calendar year. These amounts shall be paid from the National Institutes of Health Account.

(2) Each qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital shall receive a payment from the State equal to 25% of all funded grants (other than grants funded by the State of Illinois or the National Institutes of Health) for biomedical research, technology, or programmatic development received by that qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital during the preceding calendar year. These amounts shall be paid from the Philanthropic Medical Research Account.

(3) Each qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital that (i) contributes 40% of the funding for a biomedical research or technology project or a programmatic development project and (ii) obtains contributions from the private sector equal to 40% of the funding for the project shall receive from the State an amount equal to 20% of the funding for the project upon submission of documentation demonstrating those facts to the Comptroller; however, the State shall not be required to make the payment unless the contribution of the qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital exceeds $100,000. The documentation must be submitted within 180 days of the beginning of the fiscal year. These amounts shall be paid from the Market Medical Research Account.

(b) No hospital under the Medical Research and Development Challenge Program shall receive more than 20% of the total amount appropriated to the Medical Research and Development Fund.

(d) The amounts due each qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital under the Medical Research and Development Fund from the National Institutes of Health Account, the Philanthropic Medical Research Account, and the Market Medical Research Account shall be combined and one quarter of the amount payable to each qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital shall be paid on the fifteenth working day after July 1, October 1, January 1, and March 1 or on a schedule determined by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services by rule that results in a more expeditious payment of the amounts due.

(e) The Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield and its affiliated primary teaching hospitals, considered as a single entity, shall be deemed to be a qualified Chicago Medicare Metropolitan Statistical Area academic medical center hospital for the purposes of this Section.

(f) In each State fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2008, the full amount appropriated for the Medical research and development challenge program for that fiscal year shall be distributed as described in this Section.

Section 10. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by changing Sections 5A-4, 5A-8, 5A-12.2, and 5A-14 and by adding Section 5A-12.3 as follows:

(305 ILCS 5/5A-4) (from Ch. 23, par. 5A-4)

Sec. 5A-4. Payment of assessment; penalty.

(a) The annual assessment imposed by Section 5A-2 for State fiscal year 2004 shall be due and payable on June 18 of the year. The assessment imposed by Section 5A-2 for State fiscal year 2005 shall be due and payable in quarterly installments, each equalling one-fourth of the assessment for the year, on July 19, October 19, January 18, and April 19 of the year. The assessment imposed by Section 5A-2 for State fiscal years 2006 through 2008 shall be due and payable in quarterly installments, each equaling one-fourth of the assessment for the year, on the fourteenth State business day of September, December, March, and May. Except as provided in subsection (a-5) of this Section, the The assessment imposed by Section 5A-2 for State fiscal year 2009 and each subsequent State fiscal year shall be due and payable in monthly installments, each equaling one-twelfth of the assessment for the year, on the fourteenth State business day of each month. No installment payment of an assessment imposed by Section 5A-2 shall be due and payable, however, until after: (i) the Department notifies the hospital provider, in writing, that the payment methodologies to hospitals required under Section 5A-12, Section 5A-12.1, or Section 5A-12.2, whichever is applicable for that fiscal year, have been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the waiver under 42 CFR 433.68 for the assessment imposed by Section 5A-2, if necessary, has been granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and (ii) the Comptroller has issued the payments required under Section 5A-12, Section 5A-12.1, or Section 5A-12.2, whichever is applicable for that fiscal year. Upon notification to the Department of approval of the payment methodologies required under Section 5A-12, Section 5A-12.1, or Section 5A-12.2, whichever is applicable for that fiscal year, and the waiver granted under 42 CFR 433.68, all installments otherwise due under Section 5A-2 prior to the date of notification shall be due and payable to the Department upon written direction from the Department and issuance by the Comptroller of the payments required under Section 5A-12.1 or Section 5A-12.2, whichever is applicable for that fiscal year.

(a-5) The Illinois Department may, for the purpose of maximizing federal revenue, accelerate the schedule upon which assessment installments are due and payable by hospitals with a payment ratio greater than or equal to one. Such acceleration of due dates for payment of the assessment may be made only in conjunction with a corresponding acceleration in access payments identified in Section 5A-12.2 to the same hospitals. For the purposes of this subsection (a-5), a hospital's payment ratio is defined as the quotient obtained by dividing the total payments for the State fiscal year, as authorized under Section 5A-12.2, by the total assessment for the State fiscal year imposed under Section 5A-2.

(b) The Illinois Department is authorized to establish delayed payment schedules for hospital providers that are unable to make installment payments when due under this Section due to financial difficulties, as determined by the Illinois Department.

(c) If a hospital provider fails to pay the full amount of an installment when due (including any extensions granted under subsection (b)), there shall, unless waived by the Illinois Department for reasonable cause, be added to the assessment imposed by Section 5A-2 a penalty assessment equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the amount of the installment not paid on or before the due date plus 5% of the portion thereof remaining unpaid on the last day of each 30-day period thereafter or (ii) 100% of the installment amount not paid on or before the due date. For purposes of this subsection, payments will be credited first to unpaid installment amounts (rather than to penalty or interest), beginning with the most delinquent installments.

(d) Any assessment amount that is due and payable to the Illinois Department more frequently than once per calendar quarter shall be remitted to the Illinois Department by the hospital provider by means of electronic funds transfer. The Illinois Department may provide for remittance by other means if (i) the amount due is less than $10,000 or (ii) electronic funds transfer is unavailable for this purpose.

Adm. Code 148.82, divided by the total number of general acute care admissions for State fiscal year 2005, excluding Medicare crossover admissions and transplant admissions reimbursed under 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.82.

"Medicaid inpatient day" means, for a given hospital, the sum of days of inpatient hospital days provided to recipients of medical assistance under Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act, excluding days for individuals eligible for Medicare under Title XVIII of that Act (Medicaid/Medicare crossover days), as tabulated from the Department's paid claims data for admissions occurring during State fiscal year 2005 that was adjudicated by the Department through March 23, 2007.

"Medicaid obstetrical day" means, for a given hospital, the sum of days of inpatient hospital days grouped by the Department to DRGs of 370 through 375 provided to recipients of medical assistance under Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act, excluding days for individuals eligible for Medicare under Title XVIII of that Act (Medicaid/Medicare crossover days), as tabulated from the Department's paid claims data for admissions occurring during State fiscal year 2005 that was adjudicated by the Department through March 23, 2007.

"Outpatient ambulatory procedure listing payments" means, for a given hospital, the sum of payments for ambulatory procedure listing services, as described in 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.140(b), provided to recipients of medical assistance under Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act, excluding payments for individuals eligible for Medicare under Title XVIII of the Act (Medicaid/Medicare crossover days), as tabulated from the Department's paid claims data for services occurring in State fiscal year 2005 that were adjudicated by the Department through March 23, 2007.

(o) The Department may adjust payments made under this Section 12.2 to comply with federal law or regulations regarding hospital-specific payment limitations on government-owned or government-operated hospitals.

(p) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section, the Department is authorized to adopt rules that change the hospital access improvement payments specified in this Section, but only to the extent necessary to conform to any federally approved amendment to the Title XIX State plan. Any such rules shall be adopted by the Department as authorized by Section 5-50 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any changes implemented as a result of this subsection (p) shall be given retroactive effect so that they shall be deemed to have taken effect as of the effective date of this Section.

(q) For State fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the Department may make recommendations to the General Assembly regarding the use of more recent data for purposes of calculating the assessment authorized under Section 5A-2 and the payments authorized under this Section 5A-12.2.
