B.  Additional Disproportionate Share Payments

   Additional disproportionate share payments are made to inpatient facilities, with a Medicaid inpatient utilization rate of not less than 1%, which have provided services to persons who have been determined to be low income by meeting the income and resource standards for the State's general assistance program.

   The payment adjustments are paid directly proportional to the payment received for either general assistance recipients for all hospital services or Title XIX recipients age 21--64 for services rendered by institutions for mental diseases under the fee-for-service and capitation programs.

   The following hospitals are eligible for this payment adjustment:
