| AN ACT concerning public aid.
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | 5 |
| changing Section 14-8 as follows:
| 6 |
| (305 ILCS 5/14-8) (from Ch. 23, par. 14-8)
| 7 |
| Sec. 14-8. Disbursements to Hospitals.
| 8 |
| (a) For inpatient hospital services rendered on and after | 9 |
| September 1,
1991, the Illinois Department shall reimburse
| 10 |
| hospitals for inpatient services at an inpatient payment rate | 11 |
| calculated for
each hospital based upon the Medicare | 12 |
| Prospective Payment System as set forth
in Sections 1886(b), | 13 |
| (d), (g), and (h) of the federal Social Security Act, and
the | 14 |
| regulations, policies, and procedures promulgated thereunder, | 15 |
| except as
modified by this Section. Payment rates for inpatient | 16 |
| hospital services
rendered on or after September 1, 1991 and on | 17 |
| or before September 30, 1992
shall be calculated using the | 18 |
| Medicare Prospective Payment rates in effect on
September 1, | 19 |
| 1991. Payment rates for inpatient hospital services rendered on
| 20 |
| or after October 1, 1992 and on or before March 31, 1994 shall | 21 |
| be calculated
using the Medicare Prospective Payment rates in | 22 |
| effect on September 1, 1992.
Payment rates for inpatient | 23 |

| 1 |
| calculated using the Medicare Prospective Payment rates
| 2 |
| (including the Medicare grouping methodology and weighting | 3 |
| factors as adjusted
pursuant to paragraph (1) of this | 4 |
| subsection) in effect 90 days prior to the
date of admission. | 5 |
| For services rendered on or after July 1, 1995, the
| 6 |
| reimbursement methodology implemented under this subsection | 7 |
| shall not include
those costs referred to in Sections | 8 |
| 1886(d)(5)(B) and 1886(h) of the Social
Security Act. The | 9 |
| additional payment amounts required under Section
| 10 |
| 1886(d)(5)(F) of the Social Security Act, for hospitals serving | 11 |
| a
disproportionate share of low-income or indigent patients, | 12 |
| are not required
under this Section. For hospital inpatient | 13 |
| services rendered on or after July
1, 1995, the Illinois | 14 |
| Department shall
reimburse hospitals using the relative | 15 |
| weighting factors and the base payment
rates calculated for | 16 |
| each hospital that were in effect on June 30, 1995, less
the | 17 |
| portion of such rates attributed by the Illinois Department to | 18 |
| the cost of
medical education.
| 19 |
| (1) The weighting factors established under Section | 20 |
| 1886(d)(4) of the
Social Security Act shall not be used in | 21 |
| the reimbursement system
established under this Section. | 22 |
| Rather, the Illinois Department shall
establish by rule | 23 |
| Medicaid weighting factors to be used in the reimbursement
| 24 |
| system established under this Section.
| 25 |
| (2) The Illinois Department shall define by rule those | 26 |
| hospitals or
distinct parts of hospitals that shall be |

| 1 |
| exempt from the reimbursement
system established under | 2 |
| this Section. In defining such hospitals, the
Illinois | 3 |
| Department shall take into consideration those hospitals | 4 |
| exempt
from the Medicare Prospective Payment System as of | 5 |
| September 1, 1991. For
hospitals defined as exempt under | 6 |
| this subsection, the Illinois Department
shall by rule | 7 |
| establish a reimbursement system for payment of inpatient
| 8 |
| hospital services rendered on and after September 1, 1991. | 9 |
| For all
hospitals that are children's hospitals as defined | 10 |
| in Section 5-5.02 of
this Code, the reimbursement | 11 |
| methodology shall, through June 30, 1992, net
of all | 12 |
| applicable fees, at least equal each children's hospital | 13 |
| 1990 ICARE
payment rates, indexed to the current year by | 14 |
| application of the DRI hospital
cost index from 1989 to the | 15 |
| year in which payments are made. Excepting county
providers | 16 |
| as defined in Article XV of this Code, hospitals licensed | 17 |
| under the
University of Illinois Hospital Act, and | 18 |
| facilities operated by the
Department of Mental Health and | 19 |
| Developmental Disabilities (or its successor,
the | 20 |
| Department of Human Services) for hospital inpatient | 21 |
| services rendered on
or after July 1, 1995, the Illinois | 22 |
| Department shall reimburse children's
hospitals, as | 23 |
| defined in 89 Illinois Administrative Code Section | 24 |
| 149.50(c)(3),
at the rates in effect on June 30, 1995, and | 25 |
| shall reimburse all other
hospitals at the rates in effect | 26 |

| by the Illinois Department to the cost of medical | 2 |
| education.
For inpatient hospital services provided on or | 3 |
| after August 1, 1998, the
Illinois Department may establish | 4 |
| by rule a means of adjusting the rates of
children's | 5 |
| hospitals, as defined in 89 Illinois Administrative Code | 6 |
| Section
149.50(c)(3), that did not meet that definition on | 7 |
| June 30, 1995, in order
for the inpatient hospital rates of | 8 |
| such hospitals to take into account the
average inpatient | 9 |
| hospital rates of those children's hospitals that did meet
| 10 |
| the definition of children's hospitals on June 30, 1995.

| (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this | 13 |
| Section, hospitals
that on August 31, 1991, have a contract | 14 |
| with the Illinois Department under
Section 3-4 of the | 15 |
| Illinois Health Finance Reform Act may elect to continue
to | 16 |
| be reimbursed at rates stated in such contracts for general | 17 |
| and specialty
care.
| 18 |
| (5) In addition to any payments made under this | 19 |
| subsection (a), the
Illinois Department shall make the | 20 |
| adjustment payments required by Section
5-5.02 of this | 21 |
| Code; provided, that in the case of any hospital reimbursed
| 22 |
| under a per case methodology, the Illinois Department shall | 23 |
| add an amount
equal to the product of the hospital's | 24 |
| average length of stay, less one
day, multiplied by 20, for | 25 |
| inpatient hospital services rendered on or
after September | 26 |
| 1, 1991 and on or before September 30, 1992.

| Code,
the Illinois Department shall develop a | 8 |
| reimbursement methodology that shall
reimburse Critical | 9 |
| Care Access Hospitals for the specialized services that

| (e) Inpatient high volume adjustment. For hospital | 2 |
| inpatient services,
effective with rate periods beginning on or | 3 |
| after October 1, 1993, in
addition to rates paid for inpatient | 4 |
| services by the Illinois Department, the
Illinois Department | 5 |
| shall make adjustment payments for inpatient services
| 6 |
| furnished by Medicaid high volume hospitals. The Illinois | 7 |
| Department shall
establish by rule criteria for qualifying as a | 8 |
| Medicaid high volume hospital
and shall establish by rule a | 9 |
| reimbursement methodology for calculating these
adjustment | 10 |
| payments to Medicaid high volume hospitals. No adjustment | 11 |
| payment
shall be made under this subsection for services | 12 |
| rendered on or after July 1,
1995.
| 13 |
| (f) The Illinois Department shall modify its current rules | 14 |
| governing
adjustment payments for targeted access, critical | 15 |
| care access, and
uncompensated care to classify those | 16 |
| adjustment payments as not being payments
to disproportionate | 17 |
| share hospitals under Title XIX of the federal Social
Security | 18 |
| Act. Rules adopted under this subsection shall not be effective | 19 |
| with
respect to services rendered on or after July 1, 1995. The | 20 |
| Illinois Department
has no obligation to adopt or implement any | 21 |
| rules or make any payments under
this subsection for services | 22 |
| rendered on or after July 1, 1995.
| 23 |
| (f-5) The State recognizes that adjustment payments to | 24 |
| hospitals providing
certain services or incurring certain | 25 |
| costs may be necessary to assure that
recipients of medical | 26 |
| assistance have adequate access to necessary medical
services. |

| recommendations
regarding (i) reimbursement mechanisms or | 8 |
| adjustment payments to reflect these
costs and services, | 9 |
| including methods by which the payments may be calculated
and | 10 |
| the method by which the payments may be financed, and (ii) | 11 |
| reimbursement
mechanisms or adjustment payments to reflect | 12 |

qualified health centers with | 13 |
| respect to recipients of medical assistance.

| challenging any part of
this Article XIV, payments to hospitals | 16 |

under any order of the court.
| 20 |

| in this Section
are subject to approval by the federal | 22 |
