       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. These additional disproportionate share payments are made by either the Department directly or through an intermediary.

       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 Men- tal Disease under the fee-for-service and capitation programs.

       These are the Pennsylvania hospitals eligible for this payment adjustment.

       C.  Different Class of Disproportionate Share Payments

       Effective April 1, 1997, through June 30, 1997, the Department established a different class of disproportionate share payments to hospitals which render uncompensated care and which the Department determined would experience significant revenue loss as a result of recent Medical Assistance Program revisions under Act No. 1996-35.

       These are the hospitals which qualify for this different class of disproportionate share payments.
