data shall be used to determine the distribution to that closed hospital. The
difference between the closed hospital's distribution based on the full year
cost report and the partial year cost report shall be redistributed to the
remaining hospitals in accordance with paragraph (G) of this rule.
For a hospital facility identifiable to a unique medicaid
provider number that closed during the immediate prior program year, the cost
report data shall be used to determine the distribution that would have been
made to that closed hospital. This amount shall be redistributed to the
remaining hospitals in accordance with paragraph (G) of this rule.
(4) Replacement hospital
facilities.
If a new hospital facility is opened for the purpose of
replacing an existing (original) hospital facility identifiable to a unique
medicaid provider number and the original facility closes during the program
year defined in paragraph (A) of rule

facilities have the same ownership,
(b) There is appropriate evidence to indicate
that the new facility was constructed to replace the original
facility,
(c) The new replacement
facility is so located as to serve essentially the same population as the
original facility, and
(d) The new
replacement facility has not filed a cost report for the current program year.
For a replacement hospital facility that opened in the
immediate prior program year, the distribution for that facility will be based
on the cost report data for that facility and the cost report data for the
original facility, combined and annualized by the department to reflect one
full year of operation.
(5) Hospitals that have changed ownership.
For a change of ownership that occurs during the program year,
the cost reporting data filed by the previous owner that reflects that
hospital's most recent completed interim settled medicaid cost report shall be
annualized to reflect one full year of operation. The data will be allocated to
each owner based on the number of days in the program year the hospital was
owned.
For a change of ownership that occurred in the previous program
year, the cost reporting data filed by the previous owner that reflects that
hospital's most recent completed interim settled medicaid cost report and the
cost reporting data filed by the new owner that reflects that hospital's most
recent completed interim settled medicaid cost report, will be combined and
annualized by the department to reflect one full year of operation. If there is
no available or valid cost report from the previous owner, the department shall
annualize the cost report from the new owner to reflect one full year of
operation.
(6) Cost report
data used in the calculations described in this rule will be the cost report
data described in this paragraph subject to any adjustments made upon
departmental review prior to final determination that is completed each year
and subject to the provisions of rule
5160-2-08 of the Administrative
Code.

(ii) For each CAH hospital, multiply the
ratio calculated in paragraph (F)(1)(b)(i) of this rule by 38.81 per cent of
the amount allocated in paragraph (D)(2)(d) of this rule to determine each
hospital's CAH payment amount.
(c) For all hospitals with CAH certification,
sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (F)(1)(b) of this rule.
(d) For each hospital with CAH certification,
if the amount described in paragraph (F)(1)(a) of this rule is equal to zero,
the hospital shall be included in the RAH

For each hospital identifiable to a unique medicaid provider
number that closed during the immediate prior program year, the payments that
would have been made to that hospital under paragraphs (E), (F), (H), and (I)
of this rule, less any amounts that would have been paid by the closed hospital
under provisions of rules
5160-2-08 and

amount is greater than its disproportionate share limit. If the hospital's
calculated payment amount as calculated in paragraph (I)(1) of this rule is
greater than the hospital's disproportionate share limit calculated in
paragraph (I)(2) of this rule, then the difference is the hospital's residual
payment funds.
(4) If a hospital's
calculated payment amount, as calculated in paragraph (I)(1) of this rule, is
greater than its disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (I)(2) of
this rule, then the hospital's payment is equal to the hospital's
disproportionate share limit.
(a) The
hospital's residual payment funds as calculated in paragraph (I)(3) of this
rule is subtracted from the hospital's calculated payment amount as calculated
in paragraph (I)(1) of this rule and is applied to and distributed as the
statewide residual payment pool as described in paragraph (I)(5) of this
rule.
(b) The total amount
distributed through the statewide residual pool will be the sum of the hospital
care assurance fund described in paragraph (K)(4) minus the sum of the lessor
of each hospital's calculated payment amount calculated in paragraph (I)(1) of
this rule or the hospital's disproportionate share limit calculated in
paragraph (I)(2) of this rule.
(5) Redistribution of residual payment funds
in the statewide residual payment pool.

(I)(5)(a) and (I)(5)(b) of this rule.
(d) For each hospital with a calculated
payment amount that is not greater than the disproportionate share limit,
multiply the ratio calculated in paragraph (I)(5)(c) of this rule by the total
amount distributed through the statewide residual pool described in paragraph
(I)(4)(b) of this rule. This amount is the hospital's statewide residual
payment pool payment amount subject to the following limitation:
If the sum of the hospital's payment amounts calculated in
paragraphs (E), (F), (G), and (H) of this rule is less than the amount of the
hospital's disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(31)
(28) of this
rule, then hospital's residual pool payment amount is equal to the amount

hospital must make payments was made by the department, the hospitals shall
meet the payment schedule developed by the department after consultation with
the hospitals or a designated representative thereof.
If the final determination that the hospital must make payments
was made by the court of common pleas of Franklin county, the hospital shall
meet the payment schedule developed by the department after consultation with
the hospital or a designated representative thereof. Delayed payment schedules
for hospitals that are unable to make timely payments under this paragraph due
to financial difficulties will be developed by the department.
The delayed payments shall include interest at the rate of ten
per cent per year on the amount payable from the date the payment would have
been due had the delay not been granted until the date of payment.
(2) Except for the provisions of
paragraphs (E) and (F) of rule
5160-2-08.1 of the
Administrative Code, all payments of assessments and intergovernmental
transfers, when applicable, from hospitals under rule
5160-2-08 of the Administrative
Code shall be deposited to the credit of the hospital care assurance program
fund. All investment earnings of the fund shall be credited to the fund. The
department shall maintain records that show the amount of money in the fund at
any time that has been paid by each hospital and the amount of any investment
earnings on that amount. All moneys credited to the hospital care assurance
program fund shall be used solely to make payments to hospitals under the
provisions of this rule.
(3) All
federal matching funds received as a result of hospital payments of assessments
and intergovernmental transfers the department makes to hospitals under
paragraph (K)(4) of this rule shall be credited to the hospital care assurance
match fund. All investment earnings of the fund shall be credited to the fund.
All money credited to the hospital care assurance match fund shall be used
solely to make payments to hospitals under the provisions of this
rule.
(4) The department shall make
payments to each medicaid participating hospital meeting the definition of
hospital as described under section
5168.01 of the Revised Code. The
payments shall be based on amounts that reflect the sum of amounts in the
hospital care assurance program fund described in paragraph (K)(2) of this rule
and the hospital care assurance match fund described in paragraph (K)(3) of
this rule. Payments to each hospital shall be calculated as described in
paragraphs (E), (F), (G), (H), and (I) of this rule. For purposes of this
paragraph, the value of the hospital care assurance match fund is calculated
as:
Sum of hospital care assurance program fund/{1-(federal medical
assistance percentage/100)}
The payments shall be made solely from the hospital care
assurance program fund and the hospital care assurance match fund. If amounts
in the funds are insufficient to make the total amount of payments for which
hospitals are eligible, the department shall reduce the amount of each payment
by the percentage by which the amounts are insufficient. Any amounts not paid
at the time they were due shall be paid to hospitals as soon as moneys are
available in the funds.
(5)
All payments to hospitals under the provisions of this rule are conditional on:
(a) Expiration of the time for appeals under
the provisions of rule
5160-2-08.1 of the
Administrative Code without the filing of an appeal, or on court
determinations, in the event of appeals, that the hospital is entitled to the
payments;
(b) The availability of
sufficient moneys in the hospital care assurance program fund and the hospital
care assurance match fund to make payments after the final determination of any
appeals;
(c) The hospital's
compliance with the provisions of rule
5160-2-07.17 of the
Administrative Code; and
(d) The
payment made to hospitals does not exceed the hospital's disproportionate share
limit as calculated in paragraph (J)(2) of this rule.
(6) If an audit conducted by the department
of the amounts of payments made and received by hospitals under the provisions
of this rule identifies amounts that, due to errors by the department, a
hospital should not have been required to pay but did pay, should have been
required to pay but did not pay, should not have received but did receive, or
should have received but did not receive, the department shall:
(a) Make payments to any hospital that the
audit reveals paid amounts it should not have been required to pay but did pay
or did not receive amounts it should have received; and
(b) Take action to recover from a hospital
any amounts that the audit reveals it should have been required to pay but did
not pay or that it should not have received but did receive.
(7) Payments made under paragraph
(K)(6)(a) of this rule shall be made from the hospital care assurance program
fund. Amounts recovered under paragraph (K)(6)(b) of this rule shall be
deposited to the credit of the hospital care assurance program fund. Any
hospital may appeal the amount the hospital is to be paid under paragraph
(K)(6)(a) of this rule or the amount to be recovered from the hospital under
paragraph (K)(6)(b) of this rule to the court of common pleas of Franklin
county.
