Nev. Admin. Code § 422.135 - Percentage of initial distribution of disproportionate share payments

1. The Division will distribute disproportionate share payments as follows:

(a) Fifty percent of the amount allocated to a pool pursuant to NAC 422.115 will be distributed among hospitals in that pool in an amount corresponding to the uncompensated care percentage of the hospital, which is determined by dividing uncompensated care costs of the hospital by the net patient revenues of the hospital. The net patient revenues of a hospital will be determined by subtracting any contracted allowances and discounts reported on the Medicare Cost Report filed by the hospital pursuant to subsection 1 of NAC 439B.230 from the total patient revenues of the hospital.

(b) Fifty percent of the amount allocated to a pool pursuant to NAC 422.115 will be distributed among hospitals in that pool in an amount corresponding to the percentage of total uncompensated care costs of each hospital, which is determined by dividing the uncompensated care costs of a hospital by the aggregate total uncompensated care costs of all hospitals within the pool of hospitals in which the hospital is placed pursuant to NAC 422.115.

2. The Division will make an initial distribution of disproportionate share payments to a hospital in an amount determined in the manner described in subsection 1 and using the data reported on the Medicare Cost Report filed by the hospital pursuant to subsection 1 of NAC 439B.230.
