(B) The following words and terms, when used in this chapter have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

(1) “Inpatient” – A patient who is admitted to a hospital on recommendation of a physician or dentist and whose inpatient stay continues beyond midnight of the day of admission.

(2) “Inpatient services” – Services which are ordinarily furnished in a hospital as defined in rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code for the care and treatment of inpatients. Inpatient services include all covered services provided to patients during the course of their inpatient stay, whether furnished directly by the hospital or under arrangement, except for direct-care services provided by physicians, podiatrists, and dentists. Inpatient hospital services exclude direct-care physician services except as provided in rule 5101:3-4-01 of the Administrative Code. Emergency room services are covered as an inpatient service when a patient is admitted from the emergency room.

(3) “Outpatient” – A patient who is not an inpatient as defined in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule and who receives outpatient services at a hospital or at a hospital’s off-site unit which has been extended accreditation by the “Joint Commission of Accreditation of Health Care Organizations,” the “American Osteopathic Association” and/or is certified under medicare. Outpatient includes a patient admitted as an inpatient whose inpatient stay does not extend beyond midnight of the day of admission except in instances when, on the day of admission, a patient dies or is transferred to another inpatient unit within the hospital, to another hospital, or to a state psychiatric facility.

(4) “Outpatient services” – Diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative, or palliative treatment or services furnished by or under the direction of a physician or dentist which are furnished to an outpatient by a hospital as defined in rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code.

Outpatient services exclude direct-care physician services except as provided in rule 5101:3-4-01 of the Administrative Code.

(5) “Diagnostic related groups (DRGs)” – DRGs are a patient classification system that reflects clinically cohesive groupings of services that consume similar amounts of hospital resources. The grouping logic used to develop relative weights is described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code. The groupings used to assign cases to a DRG for claims payment are identified in rule 5101:3-2-07.11 of the Administrative Code.

(6) “Average” is the arithmetic mean obtained by dividing a sum by the number of its observations.

(7) “Geometric mean” is the nth root of the product of n factors.

(8) “Psychiatric unit distinct part” is a distinct part recognized by medicare.

(9) “Level I nursery” is a nursery unit within a hospital which is registered with and recognized by the Ohio department of health as a level I nursery.

(10) “Level II nursery” is a nursery unit within a hospital which is registered with and recognized by the Ohio department of health as a level II nursery.

(11) “Level III nursery” is a nursery unit within a hospital that is registered with and recognized by the Ohio department of health as a level III nursery.

(12) “Standard deviation” is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the deviations from the arithmetic mean.

(13) “Principal diagnosis” is the diagnosis established after study to be chiefly responsible for causing the patient’s admission to the hospital.

(14) “Medically necessary services” are services which are necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of disease, illness, or injury and without which the patient can be expected to suffer prolonged, increased or new morbidity, impairment of function, dysfunction of a body organ or part or significant pain and discomfort. A medically necessary service must:

(a) Meet accepted standards of medical practice;

(b) Be appropriate to the illness or injury for which it is performed as to type of service and expected outcome;

(d) Provide unique, essential, and appropriate information when used for diagnostic purposes.

(15) Transfer.

(a) Is moved from one eligible hospital, as described in rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code, to another eligible hospital, including state psychiatric facilities.

(b) Is moved from an eligible hospital to the same hospital’s psychiatric unit distinct part.

(16) Readmissions.

For hospitals paid under the department’s prospective payment system, a “readmission” is an admission to the same institution within thirty days of discharge.

(17) Discharges.

A patient is said to be “discharged” when he or she:

(a) Is formally released from a hospital;

(b) Dies while hospitalized;

(c) Is discharged, within the same hospital, from an acute care bed and admitted to a bed in a psychiatric unit distinct part as described in paragraph (B)(8) of this rule or is discharged within the same hospital, from a bed in a psychiatric unit distinct part to an acute care bed. Rule 5101:3-2-07.11 of the Administrative Code explains the payment methodology for this type of a discharge; or

(d) Signs self out against medical advice (AMA).

(18) “Observation services” are those services furnished on a hospital’s premises, including use of a bed and periodic monitoring by a hospital’s nursing or other staff, which are reasonable and necessary to evaluate an outpatient’s condition or determine the need for possible admission to the hospital as an inpatient.

(C) Billing: All inpatient and outpatient hospital services must be billed in accordance with national uniform billing requirements for hospital facilities (available on http://www.nubc.org/). Appendix A of this rule describes revenue codes that are covered under the medicaid hospital benefit.

Promulgated Under: 119.03

Statutory Authority: 5111.02

Rule Amplifies: 5111.01, 5111.02

Prior Effective Dates: 4/7/77, 12/21/77, 12/30/77, 1/8/79, 2/1/80, 10/1/83 (Emer), 12/29/83, 10/1/84, 11/9/84 (Emer), 2/4/85, 7/29/85, 7/3/86, 10/19/87, 4/23/88, 7/1/89, 12/1/89, 7/1/90, 9/3/91 (Emer), 11/10/91, 7/1/92, 7/1/93, 1/20/95, 12/29/95 (Emer), 3/16/96, 8/1/02, 10/1/03, 6/1/04

5101:3-2-03 Conditions and limitations.

(A) Conditions and limitations applicable to both inpatient and outpatient hospital services.

(1) Coverage of provider-based physician services reimbursable as an inpatient or outpatient hospital service is limited to those services reimbursable under medicare, part A, except as provided in rule 5101:3-4-01 of the Administrative Code.

(2) Inpatient or outpatient services related to the provision of the services described in paragraphs (A)(2)(a) to (A)(2)(i) of this rule are not covered:

(a) Abortions other than those that meet the criteria for coverage set forth in rule 5101:3-17-01 of the Administrative Code.

(b) Sterilizations and hysterectomies other than those that meet the criteria for coverage set forth in rule 5101:3-21-01 of the Administrative Code.

(d) Treatment of obesity, including but not limited to gastroplasty, gastric stapling, ileo-jejunal shunt, or other gastric restrictive procedures.

(e) Plastic or cosmetic surgery when the surgery is performed for aesthetic purposes; for example, rhinoplasty, ear piercing, mammary augmentation or reduction, tattoo removal, excision of keloids, facioplasty, osteoplasty (prognathism and micrognathism), dermabrasion, skin grafts, and lipectomy.

(f) Acupuncture.

(g) Services of a research nature or services that are experimental and not in accordance with customary standards of medical practice or are not commonly used.

(h) Dental procedures unless:

(i) The nature of the surgery or the condition of the patient precludes performing the procedure in the dentist’s office or other nonhospital outpatient setting and the inpatient or outpatient service is a medicaid covered service.

(ii) The service was an emergency dental procedure performed in the emergency room, or precertified as an inpatient admission as described in rule 5101:3-2-40 of the Administrative Code.

(i) Patient convenience items, including television service.

(j) Pregnancy related services pertaining to a pregnancy that is a result of a contract for surrogacy services. For the purposes of this rule, “surrogacy services” means a woman agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of gestating and giving birth to a child she will not raise, but hand over to a contracted party.

(3) Blood and blood components — The department encourages the use of replacement blood donated on behalf of the recipient. However, the medicaid program will cover the cost of all blood administered, equivalent quantities of packed red blood cells or plasma when not available to the recipient from other sources, and the administering of replacement blood.

(4) Services related to covered organ donations are reimbursable when the recipient of a transplant is medicaid eligible.

(B) Conditions and limitations applicable to inpatient services only.

(1) Accommodations — The medicaid program covers semiprivate accommodations. A private room will be covered only when such accommodations are medically necessary and the patient’s condition requires the patient to be isolated for the patient’s own health or the health of others.

(2) Covered days: In general, medicaid covers only those days of care that are medically necessary or otherwise within certain limits. The provisions set forth in this paragraph operate as limitations in one of two ways. The number of days of care charged by a hospital must be in units of full days. The day of admission counts as a full day. The day of discharge is not counted as a covered day, but charges for any covered services other than those described in revenue center codes 0100 to 0179 (see rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code for identification of revenue center codes) are covered. Charges for the services described in the foregoing sentence are covered on the days the services were rendered;, not the day the charges were posted. For hospitals identified in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code that are paid on a prospective basis, the noncovered days of inpatient stay described in paragraphs (B)(2)(a) to (B)(2)(f) of this rule will be excluded for purposes of determining outliers in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code. For hospitals excluded from the prospective payment system as identified in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code, the noncovered days of inpatient stay described in paragraphs (B)(2)(a) to (B)(2)(f) of this rule, including associated inpatient services, are not covered and, accordingly, are not reimbursable.

(a) Rehabilitation services related to chemical dependencies: Coverage of inpatient days for treatment of a chemical dependency is limited to coverage of services for detoxification. No coverage is available for days of inpatient care that occur solely for the provision of rehabilitation services related to a chemical dependency.

(b) Benefit period — The number of days of inpatient care covered under the medicaid program shall not exceed thirty days during a period beginning on the day of the recipient’s admission to a hospital and ending sixty days after the termination of that hospital stay, whether or not completed in the same hospital. However, the department will make exceptions to this limitation, when:

(i) The recipient is jointly eligible under the medicaid program and the program for medically handicapped children as described in section 3701.023 of the Revised Code.

(ii) Additional hospitalization is medically necessary before sixty days have passed since the most recent discharge date.

(iii) A determination is made by the hospital that the care was medically necessary in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code.

(iv) The hospital is paid on a prospective diagnosis related group (DRG) basis.

(v) The hospital is recognized as a long-term care hospital under medicare.

(c) Late discharge — The medicaid program will not pay for a patient’s continued stay beyond the checkout time because of personal reasons on the part of the patient and/or physician’s negligence.

(d) Leave of absence — The day on which a patient begins a leave of absence cannot be counted as a covered day unless the patient returns to the hospital prior to midnight of the same day.

(e) Days waiting for placement and custodial care — Coverage is not available for hospital inpatient services for patients who no longer require acute short-term hospital care. This includes days waiting for transfer to a long-term care facility, days of inpatient care due to unnecessary delays in applying for court-ordered commitment, grace periods, administrative days, and custodial care. For purposes of this rule, “custodial care” is defined as maintenance, rather than curative care, on an indefinite basis, while grace periods and administrative days relate to days of care while waiting for placement elsewhere. This exclusion also applies to days spent as an inpatient at a transferring hospital on or after the effective date of a court commitment to another facility and inpatient days resulting from a hospital’s failure to timely request or perform necessary diagnostic studies, medical-surgical procedures, or consultations.

(f) Psychiatric admissions to hospitals not licensed by the department of mental health — Admissions of persons whose principal diagnosis is a mental disorder as described in Chapter 5122-14 of the Administrative Code into hospitals not licensed by the department of mental health will not be reimbursed by the medicaid program.

(1) When recipients use greater than forty-eight outpatient visits per year, information from paid claims will be reviewed by the department to determine whether the recipient should be referred to a managed care program. As a result of this review, the department or its contractual designee may also review hospital medical records in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code to determine whether services were medically necessary and appropriate to the recipient’s illness or injury as described in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code.

(2) For purposes of paragraph (C)(1) of this rule, a visit is defined as services provided on one date of service to one recipient.

(D) Coverage conditions and limitations applicable to hospitals eligible to provide services pursuant to paragraphs (C) , (D) and (F) of rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code.

(1) Coverage of inpatient services provided in hospitals to eligible recipients shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 5122-14 of the Administrative Code or section 5119.20 of the Revised Code.

(2) Outpatient services provided in hospitals to eligible recipients are not coverable under the provisions set forth in Chapter 5101:3-2 of the Administrative Code.

(2) Administered inpatient drugs are considered inpatient services and are reimbursed as an inpatient service. Administered outpatient drugs are considered outpatient services and are reimbursed as an outpatient hospital service in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code. Take-home drugs must be billed in accordance with provisions in Chapter 5101:3-9 of the Administrative Code. Payment to hospitals for take-home drugs will be reimbursed according to the provisions of Chapter 5101:3-9 of the Administrative Code. ODJFS may periodically require hospitals to produce evidence of invoice costs supporting amounts billed for take-home drugs.

(B) Medical supplies and equipment.

(1) Inpatient: Supplies and equipment for the care and treatment of the recipient during an inpatient stay, including implants and devices that are part of a surgical, immediate post surgical, or early fitting procedure (e.g., pacemakers, halos, and prosthetic devices), appliances that are generally applied prior to discharge (e.g., initial prostheses), and other items that are medically necessary as described in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code to permit or facilitate the patient’s discharge from the hospital until such time as the recipient can obtain a permanent item or supply are covered inpatient hospital services and, as such, must be included in the hospital’s inpatient billing. In order to be reimbursed for supplies and equipment furnished to an inpatient for use solely outside the hospital, the hospital must be approved under the medicaid program as a medical supplies provider. See Chapter 5101:3-10 of the Administrative Code for coverage, limitation, billing, and reimbursement provisions relative to medical supplies providers.

(2) Outpatient: In order to be reimbursed for medical supplies and equipment on an outpatient basis, a hospital must be approved under the medicaid program as a medical supplies provider. Hospital outpatient departments that so desire may make application to provider enrollment. See Chapter 5101:3-10 of the Administrative Code for coverage, limitation, billing, and reimbursement provisions relative to medical supplies providers.

(C) Dental services: Except for dental services described in rule 5101:3-2-03 of the Administrative Code and emergency dental services provided in the emergency room, all outpatient dental services are covered and reimbursed as dental services under the provisions set forth in Chapter 5101:3-5 of the Administrative Code.

(D) Vision care services: All vision care services are covered and reimbursed as inpatient or outpatient hospital services. All vision care materials are covered and reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 5101:3-6 of the Administrative Code.

(E) Ambulance and ambulette services: The services of hospital staff as attendents during transportation are covered and reimbursed as an inpatient or outpatient hospital service. Services related to the use and operation of the transport vehicle, including standard equipment and driver, are reimbursed as an ambulance or ambulette service. The provisions of this paragraph apply to ambulance and ambulette services provided to or from the hospital, including interhospital ambulance or ambulette services.

5101:3-2-07.2 Classification of hospitals.

For purposes of setting rates and making payments under the “Diagnosis Related Group” (DRG) prospective payment system, the department classifies most hospitals into mutually exclusive peer groups.

(A) Definitions.

(1) “Teaching hospitals” are hospitals with major teaching emphasis that meet one of the following definitions: the hospital, regardless of number of beds has an intern- and resident-to-bed ratio of at least .35 or the hospital has greater than five hundred beds and has an intern- and resident-to-bed ratio of .25. For purposes of this paragraph, the intern- and resident-to-bed ratio for Ohio hospitals is that recognized by the hospital’s medicare fiscal intermediary for the hospital’s cost-reporting period described in paragraph (D) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. For non-Ohio hospitals, the internand resident-to-bed ratio used to make this determination is derived from the medicare cost report for the cost-reporting period used in setting rates for rate period beginning July 1, 1990.

(2) “Children’s hospitals” are those hospitals that primarily serve patients eighteen years of age and younger and that are excluded from medicare prospective payment in accordance with 42 C.F.R. 412.23(d) effective October 1, 2006.

(3) “Rural referral center hospitals” are those hospitals located in non-metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that are recognized by medicare as rural referral centers in accordance with 42 C.F.R. 412.96 effective October 1, 2006.

(4) “MSA hospitals” are those hospitals not defined in this rule as children’s or teaching hospitals that are located in MSAs as those areas are established by the federal office of management and budget.

(5) “Non-MSA hospitals” are those hospitals not defined in this rule as teaching, children’s, or rural referral centers that are not located in MSAs as those areas are established by the federal office of management and budget.

(6) “Cancer hospitals” are hospitals recognized by medicare that primarily treat neoplastic disease in accordance with 42 C.F.R. 412.23(f) effective October 1, 2006.

(7) For the purposes of this rule, the “number of beds” is the total number of beds reported in the December, 1986 “Directory of Registered Hospitals” published by the Ohio department of health.

(B) Ohio hospital prospective payment peer groups.

(1) For each Ohio children’s hospital, a prospective rate will be determined in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code using data specific to each hospital.

(2) Rural referral center hospitals are grouped together and a peer group average cost per discharge is developed in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code using data from these hospitals.

(3) Teaching hospitals are grouped together and a peer group average cost per discharge is developed in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code using data from these hospitals.

(4) Non-MSA hospitals with less than one hundred beds are grouped together and a peer group average cost per discharge is developed in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code using data from these hospitals.

(5) Non-MSA hospitals with one hundred beds or more are grouped together and a peer group average cost per discharge is developed in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code using data from these hospitals.

(6) MSA hospitals are peer grouped on the basis of wage index categories. MSA hospitals that have adjusted gross wage index categories in their area, as published in the March 1985 “Report on Hospital Wage Index” required by section 2316(a) of Public Law 98-369 within .01 (rounded values) of each other are grouped together for payment purposes. For each of the groups formed, a peer group average cost per discharge is developed in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code using data from hospitals in the group.

(1) For discharges on or after July 1, 1990, non-Ohio teaching hospitals will be reimbursed on the basis of a rate developed using data from Ohio teaching hospitals. The calculations used to develop this rate are described in paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(b) of this rule.

(a) For each Ohio teaching hospital a fully adjusted, inflated peer group average cost per discharge is calculated as described in paragraphs (D) to (G)(3)(a) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code except that the adjustment described in paragraphs (D)(9) to (D)(9)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code is not made.

(b) The fully adjusted, inflated peer group average cost per discharge described in paragraph (C)(1)(a) of this rule is multiplied by each hospital’s medicaid discharges as described in paragraph (D)(11)(a) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. The results of these computations are summed for all Ohio teaching hospitals, and then divided by the sum of medicaid discharges for all Ohio teaching hospitals. The result of this computation is rounded to the nearest whole penny.

(2) For discharges on or after July 1, 1990, non-Ohio children’s hospitals will be reimbursed on the basis of a rate developed using data from Ohio childrens hospitals. The calculations used to develop this rate are described in paragraphs (C)(2)(a) to (C)(2)(b) of this rule.

(a) For each Ohio children’s hospital a fully adjusted, inflated peer group average cost per discharge is calculated as described in paragraphs (D) to (G)(3)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code except that the adjustment described in paragraphs (D)(9) to (D)(9)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code is not made and except that the value of .12 is substituted for the value calculated in paragraph (F)(2)(e)(ii) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(b) The fully adjusted, inflated peer group average cost per discharge described in paragraph (C)(2)(a) of this rule is multiplied by each hospital’s medicaid discharges as described in paragraph (D)(11)(a) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. The results of these computations are summed for all Ohio children’s hospitals, and then divided by the sum of medicaid discharges for all Ohio children’s hospitals. The result of this computation is rounded to the nearest whole penny.

(3) For discharges on or after July 1, 1990, non-Ohio hospitals that are not teaching or children’s hospitals will be reimbursed on the basis of a rate developed using data from Ohio nonteaching and nonchildren’s hospitals. The calculations used to develop this rate are described in paragraphs (C)(3)(a) to (C)(3)(b) of this rule.

(a) For each Ohio nonchildren’s and nonteaching hospital, a fully adjusted, inflated peer group average cost per discharge is calculated as described in paragraphs (D) to (G)(3)(a) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code except that the adjustment described in paragraphs (D)(9) to (D)(9)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code is not made.

(b) The fully adjusted, inflated peer group average cost per discharge described in paragraph (C)(3)(a) of this rule is multiplied by each hospital’s medicaid discharges as described in paragraph (D)(11)(a) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. The results of these computations are summed for all Ohio nonteaching and nonchildrens hospitals, and then divided by the sum of medicaid discharges for all Ohio nonteaching and nonchildrens hospitals. The result of this computation is rounded to the nearest whole penny.

(D) Classification procedures.

(1) A hospital is classified into a peer group at the beginning of each rate year based upon the data available to the department sixty days prior to the rate year. Once established, the classification of a hospital into a peer group remains in effect throughout the rate year unless the hospital is designated by medicare during the rate year to be a rural referral center hospital. In this instance the hospital must submit all documentation to the department that it has been designated as a rural referral center. After such documentation is received, the hospital will be reclassified into the rural referral center peer group effective for discharges occurring on or after the beginning of the rate year or the effective date of the designation, whichever is later.

(2) When an existing hospital is deleted or added to a peer group at a time other than when the department rebases the DRG system, the deletion or addition of a hospital from a peer group does not result in a redetermination of payment rates for the peer group except as otherwise provided in rule 5101:3-2-07.8 of the Administrative Code. If a new hospital is established at a time other than when the department rebases the DRG system, the department will assign that hospital to a peer group for payment purposes but will not recalculate any part of the prospective payment rate for that peer group.

(3) Facilities that close at a time other than rebasing of the DRG system and that notify the department of closure thirty days prior to the beginning of a rate year are not included in the peer groups defined in this rule for the purpose of setting payment rates. Closure notifications received less than thirty days prior to a rate year do not result in a redetermination of peer group payment rates for that year.

(4) In the case of hospital mergers when all facilities involved in the merger retain separate provider numbers for the medicare program, each facility will be treated separately following the procedures outlined in this rule. In the case of hospital mergers when the merged facility retains only one medicare provider number, the department will either follow the determinations made by the medicare program with regard to treatment of the merged facilities or will make a separate determination. Such separate determinations will be made, on a case by case basis, in instances when medicare’s determination would be appropriate in the context of medicare pricing and classification methods but inappropriate in the context of medicaid pricing methods and peer grouping logic as described in this rule.

5101:3-2-07.3 Methodology for determining relative weights.

(A) General description.

For hospitals subject to prospective payment for inpatient services, the Ohio department of job and family services, (“ODJFS”) will reimburse for inpatient hospital services an amount per discharge in each diagnostic category. The payment is reflective of the relative hospital resources used by each diagnostic category in comparison to the statewide average resource use for an admission. The method for determining the weight of a diagnostic category is based on its average charge compared to an average charge for all discharges. This rule describes the diagnostic categories and the method for determining the relative weights for each category. Special consideration is given to psychiatric diagnostic related groups (DRGs) 425 to 435 and neonatal DRGs 385 to 390 as described in this rule.

(B) Diagnostic related groupings.

(1) Except as otherwise specified in paragraph (E) of this rule, relative weights are calculated for each classification of inpatient hospital discharge classified by “grouper,” a software package distributed by, “3M Health Information Systems”, used by medicare during federal fiscal year 1998, and modified as described in this rule. Services are classified into one of the diagnostic categories based on:

(a) The “International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification” (ICD-9-CM), principal and secondary diagnoses;

(b) The ICD-9-CM surgical procedures provided to the recipient during a hospital stay;

(d) The recipient’s age; and

(e) The recipient’s discharge status.

(2) Cases which would be classified in DRG 385 or DRG 456 because of a transfer or death but which involve a length of stay greater than fifteen days are classified in the DRG which is appropriate in accordance with paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(1)(e) of this rule if the transfer or death is not considered.

(3) For cases classified into DRG 386, three subgroups are identified and three different relative weights are calculated, based upon the ICD-9-CM codes and the level of the neonatal nursery. These levels are those recognized by the Ohio department of health as of March 29, 1987.

(a) One subgroup and relative weight is created based upon cases which have ICD-9-CM code 765.0 listed as one of its diagnoses.

(b) For cases which group as a DRG 386, and do not have ICD-9-CM code 765.0, two relative weights are calculated for this subgroup. One relative weight is calculated using data specific to hospitals with a level I or II nursery and a second relative weight is calculated using data specific to hospitals with a level III nursery.

(4) For cases classified into DRG 387, four subgroups are identified and four different relative weights are calculated, based upon the infant’s birthweight and the level of the neonatal nursery. These levels are those identified by the Ohio department of health as of March 29, 1987. These subgroups are described in paragraphs (B)(4)(a) and (B)(4)(b) of this rule.

(a) For cases which group into DRG 387 and have a birthweight of zero to one thousand seven hundred fifty grams, two subgroups are identified and two relative weights are calculated within each subgroup. One relative weight is calculated using data specific to hospitals with a level I or II nursery and a second relative weight is calculated using data specific to hospitals with a level III nursery.

(b) For cases which group into DRG 387 and have a birthweight of one thousand seven hundred fifty-one grams and above, two subgroups are identified and two relative weights are calculated within each subgroup. One relative weight is calculated using data specific to hospitals with a level I or II nursery and a second relative weight is calculated using data specific to hospitals with a level III nursery.

For the purposes of determining the relative weight for each DRG, the sample includes all claims associated with discharges, as described in paragraphs (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this rule.

(1) Effective for discharges on January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2009: For the purposes of determining the relative weight for each DRG, the sample includes all claims associated with discharges on or after July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2003 and paid by December 31, 2003. All claims included in the sample were previously paid and passed through the edits created by the department’s prospective payment system. Claims were adjusted as described in paragraphs (C)(3) to (C)(4)(b) of this rule.

(2) Effective for discharges on or after January 1, 2010, and every calendar year thereafter, relative weights shall be determined on an annual basis. For the purposes of determining the relative weight for each DRG, the sample includes all claims associated with discharges during the state fiscal year ending in the calendar year preceding the immediate past calendar year prior to January first of the calendar year to which the new relative weights shall apply. All claims included in the sample were previously paid and passed through the edits created by the department’s prospective payment system. Claims were adjusted as described in paragraphs (C)(3) to (C)(4)(b) of this rule.

(3) Claims deleted from computation.

(a) Claims that were submitted by an out-of-state provider.

(b) Claims that were submitted by hospitals excluded from the prospective payment system as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code.

(d) When two or more records existed with the same provider, same recipient number, and exact dates of services, the latest paid claim was retained and the earlier paid claim or claims were deleted.

(e) If multiple claims for the same provider, same recipient number, and overlapping dates of service occurred, and the date span of the most recently paid claim included the date span of any and all overlap claims, and none of the claims grouped into DRGs 425 to 435, the most recently paid claim was retained and all others were deleted.

(f) Claims associated with cases that were incorrectly billed to ODJFS, e.g., where third party covered the entire stay.

(g) Claims that were for an inpatient discharge but had charges of less than one hundred dollars, unless there were ten or fewer claims that grouped into the DRG.

(h) Transfer claims unless there were ten or fewer claims that grouped into the DRG.

(i) Nontransfer claims paid on a per diem basis.

(j) Claims with net charges equal to zero.

(4) Adjustments to claims.

(a) Claim-specific adjustments were included if processed by the Ohio department of job and family services on or before the last day of the medicaid claim record period as described in paragraphs (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this rule.

(b) Organ acquisition and transportation costs for heart, liver, and bone marrow transplants were removed from the claim prior to submission to the grouper.

(D) Development of the relative weights.

The relative weights were calculated based upon the total allowable charge for each case for the sample of claims as described in paragraphs (C) to (C)(4)(b) of this rule, subject to the edits as described in paragraphs (D)(3)(a) and (D)(3)(b) of this rule.

(1) Computation of the geometric mean charge for each DRG.

(a) For DRGs 1 to 385, 391 to 424, and 439 to 503, the geometric mean charge was determined for each of these DRGs.

(b) For each subgroup in DRG 386 as described in paragraphs (B)(3) to (B)(3)(b) of this rule, and for each subgroup of DRG 387 as described in paragraphs (B)(4) to (B)(4)(b) of this rule, the geometric mean charge was calculated.

(c) For DRGs 388, 389, and 390, the geometric mean charge was calculated three times to determine a geometric mean charge specific to hospitals with a level I nursery, hospitals with a level II nursery, and hospitals with a level III nursery. For example, three geometric mean charges were calculated for DRG 388, one reflecting data from hospitals with a level I nursery; one reflecting data from hospitals with a level II nursery; and one reflecting data from hospitals with a level III nursery.

(d) For DRGs 425 to 435, two geometric mean charges were calculated for each DRG in this category. One geometric mean charge was calculated using the charge for each case within these DRGs from free-standing psychiatric hospitals, and hospitals which have a psychiatric unit distinct part. A “psychiatric unit distinct part” is one which is recognized by medicare as described in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code and where the hospital has notified the department of medicare’s certification. A second geometric mean charge was calculated for each DRG 425 to 435 using data from all other hospitals (hospitals which do not have a recognized psychiatric unit distinct part under medicare). In accordance with rule 5101:3-2-03 of the Administrative Code, the department does not pay for DRG 436 and DRG 437.

(e) If no cases were grouped by the medicare fiscal year 1998 grouper into any DRG, the geometric mean charge for these DRGs is the geometric mean charge that was used for these DRGs prior to the effective date of this rule.

(2) Calculation of the statewide geometric mean length of stay for each DRG.

(a) For DRGs 1 to 385, 391 to 424, and 439 to 503, the geometric mean length of stay was calculated using all cases within each of these DRGs as determined in paragraph (C) of this rule.

(b) For each subgroup in DRG 386 as described in paragraphs (B)(3) to (B)(3)(b) of this rule and for each subgroup of DRG 387 as described in paragraphs (B)(4) to (B)(4)(b) of this rule, the geometric mean length of stay was calculated.

(c) For DRGs 388, 389, and 390, the geometric mean length of stay was calculated three times to determine geometric mean length of stay specific to hospitals with a level I nursery, hospitals with a level II nursery, and hospitals with a level III nursery. For example, three geometric mean lengths of stay were calculated for DRG 388; one geometric mean length of stay was calculated using all cases in DRG 388 within a hospital which has a level I nursery; one geometric mean length of stay was calculated based on data from hospitals with a level II nursery; and one geometric mean length of stay was calculated based on data from hospitals with a level III nursery.

(d) For DRGs 425 to 435, the geometric mean length of stay was calculated two times for each of these DRGs to reflect the difference in the geometric mean length of stay in hospitals with and without psychiatric unit distinct parts. To determine the geometric mean length of stay for cases treated in hospitals with no distinct part psychiatric unit, the geometric mean length of stay was calculated using all cases in these hospitals. To determine the geometric mean length of stay for cases in hospitals with psychiatric unit distinct parts, the geometric mean length of stay was calculated using all cases in these hospitals.

(e) If no cases were grouped by the medicare fiscal year 1998 grouper into any DRG, the geometric mean length of stay for these DRGs is the geometric mean length of stay that was used for these DRGs prior to the effective date of this rule.

(3) Deletion of outlier cases.

(a) For each DRG and each subgroup within DRGs 386 to 390 and 425 to 435, a standard deviation for charge and length of stay was calculated based upon the cases used in the calculation of the geometric mean as described in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(2)(d) of this rule.

(b) Cases which had charges or reflected a length of stay that was two standard deviations above the geometric mean as calculated in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(2)(d) of this rule were deleted except for DRGs 385 to 390. For DRGs 385 to 390 cases which had charges or reflected a length of stay that is one standard deviation above the geometric mean as calculated in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(2)(d) of this rule were deleted.

(4) Recalculation of geometric mean length of stay and geometric mean charge for each DRG and subgroups in DRGs 386 to 390 and 425 to 435 was done excluding outlier cases as described in paragraphs (D)(3)(a) and (D)(3)(b) of this rule.

(5) Computation of the arithmetic mean charge for each DRG.

Computation of the arithmetic mean charge for each DRG and subgroups was calculated using all cases as described in paragraphs (C)(1) to (C)(4)(b) of this rule, excluding outlier cases, as described in paragraphs (D)(3)(a) and (D)(3)(b) of this rule.

(a) For DRGs 1 to 385, 391 to 424, and 439 to 503, the arithmetic mean charge was determined for each of these DRGs using the total charge per case for each DRG for all hospitals excluding outlier cases.

(c) For DRGs 388, 389, and 390, three separate arithmetic means were calculated for each DRG using data specific to either hospitals with a level I nursery, with a level II nursery, or hospitals with a level III nursery unit. In each instance, the claims used within a DRG, and within a specific level nursery, excluded outlier cases.

(d) For DRGs 425 to 435, two arithmetic mean charges were calculated for each DRG in this category. One arithmetic mean charge was calculated using the total charge for each case within these DRGs, excluding outlier cases, from hospitals which had a psychiatric unit distinct part. A second arithmetic mean charge was calculated for DRGs 425 to 435 using data, excluding outlier cases, from all other hospitals (hospitals which did not have a recognized psychiatric unit distinct part under medicare).

(e) If no cases were grouped by the medicare fiscal year 1998 grouper into any DRG, the arithmetic mean charge for these DRGs is the arithmetic mean charge that was used for these DRGs prior to the effective date of this rule.

(6) Calculation of the statewide arithmetic mean charge per discharge.

The statewide arithmetic mean charge per discharge was calculated using the total allowable charge for all cases used in the calculation described in paragraphs (D)(5) to (D)(5)(d) of this rule.

(7) Computation of the relative weight for each DRG and DRG subgroups.

The relative weight of each DRG is a function of the relationship between the arithmetic mean charge per DRG and DRG subgroups and the arithmetic mean charge across all cases. To determine the relative weight, the arithmetic mean charge for each DRG and DRG subgroup calculated as described in paragraphs (D)(5)(a) to (D)(5)(d) of this rule was divided by the statewide arithmetic mean charge per discharge as described in paragraph (D)(6) of this rule.

(E) Relative weights for small cell DRGs.

When ten or less claims grouped into a DRG, the department established relative weights taking into consideration the weights that previously were used for the DRG, as well as the DRG case mix. When ten or less claims grouped into a new DRG, the department used relative weights currently used by medicare.

5101:3-2-07.4 Basic methodology for determining prospective payment rates.

(A) General description.

Except as provided in paragraph (B) of this rule, in computing the payment rate, the average cost per discharge determined and adjusted as described in paragraphs (D) to (G)(3)(b) of this rule is multiplied by the relative weight as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code for the diagnosis related group (DRG) as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code. Applicable allowances for capital and medical education, as described in this rule, are added after the average cost per discharge component is multiplied by the relative weight. The components of the prospective payment rates for each recipient discharged from a hospital are:

(1) The DRG assigned to that discharge;

(2) The adjusted inflated average cost per discharge component described in paragraphs (D) to (G)(3)(b) of this rule;

(3) Relative weights defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code for each DRG;

(4) An allowance for capital described in rule 5101:3-2-07.6 of the Administrative Code; and

(5) For certain hospitals, a medical education allowance as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code.

(B) Payment rates.

Payment rates consist of the components described in paragraphs (A) to (A)(5) of this rule, subject to special payment provisions for certain types of cases, as described in rules 5101:3-2-07.9 and 5101:3-2-07.11 of the Administrative Code.

(1) For children’s hospitals as defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, the average cost per discharge component is one hundred per cent hospital specific and is determined in accordance with paragraphs (D) to (G)(3)(b) of this rule.

(2) For out-of-state hospitals for discharges on or after July 1, 1990, the average cost per discharge component is determined in accordance with the methodology described in paragraphs (C)(1) to (C)(3)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code.

(3) For hospitals other than those identified in paragraphs (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this rule, the average cost per discharge component will be one hundred per cent of the peer group average costs per discharge determined in accordance with paragraphs (E) to (G)(3)(a) of this rule using the peer groups defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code.

(D) Calculation of hospital-specific adjusted average cost per discharge.

Unless otherwise indicated, two types of source documents are used to obtain information needed to calculate the hospital-specific average cost per discharge defined in this rule. Those documents are the ODHS 2930 “Cost Report” and the HCFA 2552-85, as submitted to the department (ODHS or JFS as appropriate) as required in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code. The ODHS 2930 will be adjusted by the department in accordance with rules 5101:3-2-22, 5101:3-2-23, and 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code using data made available to the department as of June 15, 1987. The documents used are those reflecting costs associated with the hospital’s 1985 or 1986 fiscal year reporting period. For purposes of this rule, the 1985 cost report will be used for those hospitals with fiscal periods ending September thirtieth, October thirty-first, or December thirty-first; the 1986 cost report will be used for those hospitals with fiscal periods ending March thirty-first, May thirty-first, June thirtieth, or August thirty-first. The hospital-specific average cost per discharge component is calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraphs (D)(1) to (D)(13) of this rule.

(1) For those hospitals that have merged since the end of the fiscal year period specified in paragraph (D) of this rule and had the same fiscal reporting period, the cost reports for the hospitals will be combined. The department will combine the total cost, total charges, total days, medicaid charges, and medicaid discharges for the hospitals. A new report will be prepared by the department for the merged hospital.

(2) For those hospitals that have merged since the end of the fiscal year period specified in paragraph (D) of this rule and had different fiscal reporting periods, the procedures described in paragraphs (D)(3) to (D)(13)(d) of this rule will be followed. At that point, the average cost per discharge for the hospitals will be combined by:

(a) Multiplying the average cost per discharge for each hospital derived from paragraph (D)(12)(g) of this rule, as applicable, by the number of discharges for each hospital derived from paragraph (D)(11)(a) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole dollar.

(d) With the exception of those hospitals whose fiscal years end on August thirty-first, multiply the medicaid average cost per discharge derived from paragraph (D)(11)(b) or (D)(11)(c) of this rule by the inflation factor derived from paragraph (D)(12)(c) of this rule, as applicable. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(e) For those hospitals whose fiscal year ends on August thirty-first, determine the number of days from June 30, 1986 to the hospitals’ fiscal year-end.

(f) For those hospitals whose fiscal year ends on August thirty-first, multiply the applicable daily inflation factor derived from paragraph (D)(12)(a) of this rule by the days derived from paragraph (D)(12)(e) of this rule.

(g) For those hospitals whose fiscal year ends on August thirty-first, divide the hospital-specific average cost per discharge derived from paragraph (D)(11)(b) or (D)(11)(c) of this rule, as applicable, by the inflation adjustment factor derived from paragraph (D)(12)(f) of this rule, as applicable. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(13) Determination of medicaid average cost per discharge adjusted for case mix.

For each hospital the average cost per discharge, adjusted as described in paragraphs (D)(12)(a) to (D)(12)(g) of this rule, is adjusted to remove the effects of the hospital’s case mix. The data used to compute the hospital’s case mix index are the hospital’s claim records for discharges occurring during the hospital’s fiscal period as described in paragraph (D) of this rule and paid as of May 1, 1987. For purposes of this paragraph, case mix is determined using the DRG categories and relative weights described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code and includes outlier cases described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code.

(a) For each hospital the number of cases in each DRG is multiplied by the relative weight for each DRG. Round the result to five decimal places. The relative weights are those described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code.

(b) Sum the result of each computation in paragraph (D)(13)(a) of this rule.

(c) Divide the product from paragraph (D)(13)(b) of this rule by the number of cases in the hospital’s sample as described in paragraph (D)(13) of this rule. Round the result to five decimal places. This produces a hospital-specific case mix index.

(d) Divide the medicaid inpatient hospital-specific average cost per discharge derived from paragraphs (D)(12)(a) to (D)(12)(g) of this rule by the hospital-specific case mix index computed in paragraph (D)(13)(c) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(E) Computation of peer group average cost per discharge.

(1) Within each peer group (except for the children’s hospital peer group as defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code), multiply each hospital’s average cost per discharge from paragraph (D)(13)(d) of this rule by each hospital’s number of medicaid discharges from paragraph (D)(11)(a) of this rule.

(2) Sum the results of each computation in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule.

(3) Sum the number of medicaid discharges described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule.

(4) Divide the result derived from paragraph (E)(2) of this rule by the result derived from paragraph (E)(3) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(F) Adjustments to the peer group average cost per discharge component described in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(4) of this rule and each children’s hospital average cost per discharge component described in paragraph (D)(13)(d) of this rule are those described in paragraphs (F)(1) to (F)(3) of this rule.

(1) Disproportionate share payments will be made in accordance with rules 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code.

(2) An outlier set-aside is determined for each peer group except the teaching hospital and children’s hospitals peer groups as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code. For teaching hospitals and children’s hospitals identified in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, an amount is calculated using each hospital’s information to determine a hospital-specific group set-aside amount. This set-aside amount is calculated using the methodology described in paragraphs (F)(2)(a) to (F)(2)(f) of this rule.

(a) The additional payments that would be paid for outlier cases for discharges on and after July 1, 1985 to June 30, 1986 is determined using payment rates developed in accordance with this rule except that payment rates do not reflect the adjustment described in paragraph (F)(2)(f) of this rule. Relative weights as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code, and the day thresholds, cost thresholds, and geometric mean length of stay, excluding outliers, for each DRG as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code are used.

(b) For each hospital, the total additional payments made for outlier cases is divided by the sum of the total payment amount for all cases in that hospital, less payment amounts for teaching and capital allowances as described in paragraphs (H)(1) and (H)(2) of this rule and payments made for day outliers as described in paragraph (F)(2)(a) of this rule. The resulting per cent is rounded to four decimal places and represents the hospital-specific outlier per cent.

(c) For all hospitals, the total additional payment for outlier cases is calculated by summing each hospital’s additional payments described in paragraph (F)(2)(a) of this rule and is divided by the summed total payment amounts for all cases in all hospitals, less payment amounts for teaching and capital allowances as described in paragraphs (H)(1) and (H)(2) of this rule, plus total payments in all hospitals for day outliers. The resulting per cent is rounded to four decimal places and represents the statewide average outlier per cent.

(d) For hospitals that have a hospital-specific outlier per cent (as described in paragraph (F)(2)(b) of this rule) over the statewide average outlier per cent as described in paragraph (F)(2)(c) of this rule, the outlier payments that are used in the peer group calculation described in paragraph (F)(2)(e) of this rule are capped by multiplying the hospital-specific additional payment amount described in paragraph (F)(2)(a) of this rule by seventy-five per cent.

(e) The outlier set-aside amount is calculated on a peer group basis using the following methodology:

(i) For each peer group except the teaching hospital and children’s hospital peer groups as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code and for each teaching hospital and children’s hospital (identified in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code), sum the total additional payments for outliers as described in paragraph (F)(2)(a) or (F)(2)(d) of this rule, as applicable.

(ii) For each peer group except the teaching hospital and children’s hospital peer groups and for each teaching and children’s hospital, divide the sum from paragraph (F)(2)(e)(i) of this rule by the sum of the total payment amount, less payment amounts for teaching and capital allowances as described in paragraphs (H)(1) and (H)(2) of this rule, plus total day outlier payments.

(f) The outlier adjustment amount is calculated by multiplying the percentage described in paragraph (F)(2)(e)(ii) of this rule by the applicable average cost per discharge component for each peer group as described in paragraphs (E) to (E)(4) of this rule and for each children’s hospital as described in paragraph (D)(13)(d) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole penny to determine the outlier adjustment amount. Subtract the outlier adjustment amount from the applicable average cost per discharge component described in paragraph (F)(1)(a) of this rule for discharges occurring on and after July 1, 1988 and prior to February 1, 1989. For discharges occurring on and after February 1, 1989, subtract the outlier adjustment amount from the average cost per discharge component for each peer group as described in paragraph (E)(4) of this rule and for each children’s hospital as described in paragraph (D)(13)(d) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(3) For purposes of coding adjustment, the applicable average cost per discharge component described in paragraph (F) of this rule is divided by 1.005. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(4) For Ohio hospitals meeting the teaching hospital peer group criteria defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, the peer group average cost per discharge described in paragraph (F)(3) of this rule is multiplied by a wage factor and rounded to the nearest whole penny. The wage factor is determined by dividing the amount derived from paragraph (D)(9)(b) of this rule by the amount derived from paragraph (D)(10)(e) of this rule, rounded to six decimal places.

(G) Adjustments for inflation.

In calculating the prospective payment rate, it is necessary to adjust costs to reflect inflation at various points in the calculation.

(1) In order to assure hospitals an annual allowance for inflation except as provided in paragraph (G)(2) of this rule, an inflation factor is developed. The Ohio specific “inflation factor” is a weighted average of twenty-three price and wage indexes, either regional or national. The weights are those published weights shown in this paragraph. Price growth increase values for these weighted items are determined by “Global Insight” for the department. Annual inflation factors are derived from summing the result of the following calculation for each item and adding one to produce a factor:

“Factor X Weight X Projected Price Increase”

The categories and indexes are those identified in paragraphs (G)(1)(a) to (G)(1)(t) of this rule. When more than one period is being inflated, annual factors are multiplied by one another to produce a composite factor.

(a) Wages: average hourly earnings (AHE), general medical and surgical hospitals, midwest region. The weight is .4339.

(b) Benefits: supplements to wages and salaries per employee, east north central (ENC). The weight is .0949.

(c) Professional fees, nonmedical: “Employment Cost Index” (ECI) wages and salaries, midwest region. The weight is .0213.

(d) Malpractice insurance: Health care financing administration, professional liability insurance premium index. The weight is .0119.

(e) Utilities: producer price index (PPI) – electricity, commercial sector, ENC (the weight is .0093); price of natural gas for the commercial sector, ENC (the weight is .0037); “Consumer Price Index – All Urban” CPIU – water and sewerage maintenance, U.S. (the weight is .0025). The combined weight is .0155.

(f) Prescription pharmaceuticals: PPI – pharmaceutical preparations, prescription (chemicals), U.S. The weight is .0416.

(g) Food: direct purchase, PPI – processed foods and feeds, U.S. (the weight is .0231); contract purchase, CPIU, food at home, ENC (the weight is .0107).

(h) Chemicals: PPI – industrial chemicals, U.S. The weight is .0367.

(i) Medical instruments: PPI – surgical and medical instruments and apparatus, U.S. The weight is .0308.

(j) Photographic supplies: PPI – photographic supplies, U.S. the weight is .0039.

(k) Rubber and plastics: PPI – rubber and plastics products, U.S. The weight is .0475.

(l) Paper products: PPI – paper and paperboard, U.S. The weight is .0208.

(m) Apparel: PPI – textile products and apparel, U.S. The weight is .0087.

(n) Machinery and equipment: PPI – machinery and equipment, U.S. The weight is .0021.

(o) Miscellaneous products: PPI – finished goods, U.S. The weight is .0224.

(p) Postage: CPIU – postage, U.S. The weight is .0027.

(q) Telephone services: CPIU – telephone services, U.S. The weight is .0058.

(r) All other, labor intensive: ECI – compensation business services, U.S. The weight is .0728.

(s) All other, non-labor intensive: CPIU – all items, ENC. The weight is .0080.

(t) Miscellaneous: CPIU – medical care, ENC. The weight is .0849.

(2) Application of estimated inflation factors.

The inflation values applied at the beginning of each rate year to produce a new composite inflation factor shall be based on the estimate of price indicators outlined in paragraphs (G) and (G)(1) of this rule that have been supplied to the department by three months prior to the beginning of a new rate year, except for the rate year beginning January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2006 and the rate year beginning January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2007 when the composite inflation factor will be adjusted to 0.00 percent, and the rate year beginning January 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2008 the composite inflation factor will be adjusted to 0.00 percent and the rate year beginning January 1, 2009 and ending December 31, 2009 the composite inflation factor will be adjusted to 0.00 percent. The inflation factors shall be uniformly applied to the average cost per discharge component and shall remain fixed for that rate period.

(3) Calculation of inflated peer group adjusted average cost per discharge, including each children’s hospital adjusted average cost per discharge.

(a) For each hospital/peer group, the peer group adjusted average cost per discharge derived from paragraph (F)(3) or (F)(4) of this rule, as applicable, is multiplied by an inflation factor derived from paragraph (G)(2) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(b) For each children’s hospital as defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, the hospital-specific adjusted average cost per discharge derived from paragraph (F)(4) of this rule is multiplied by an inflation factor derived from paragraph (G)(2) of this rule. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(H) Addition of hospital-specific allowances.

Hospital-specific allowances include those described in paragraphs (H)(1) to (H)(3) of this rule.

(1) For Ohio hospitals having approved teaching programs as defined in 42 C.F.R. 405.421 as effective on October 1, 1985, an education allowance amount is added. The medical education allowance amount is described in rule 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code.

(2) For Ohio hospitals, a hospital-specific capital allowance amount is added. The capital allowance amount is described in rule 5101:3-2-07.6 of the Administrative Code.

(3) For non-Ohio hospitals, a single capital allowance amount is added. The capital allowance amount is described in rule 5101:3-2-07.6 of the Administrative Code.

(I) The final prospective payment rate is calculated by multiplying the adjusted inflated average cost per discharge, derived from paragraphs (G)(3)(a) and (G)(3)(b) of this rule, by the relative weight appropriate to the DRG (see rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code), rounding the result to the nearest whole penny, then adding all applicable hospital-specific allowance amounts described in paragraphs (H)(1) to (H)(3) of this rule, i.e.:

“Adjusted Inflated Average Cost Per Discharge X DRG Relative Weight + Hospital-Specific Capital Allowance (as applicable) + Hospital-Specific Education Allowance (as applicable) = Final Prospective Payment Rate”

APPENDIX A

I. CALCULATION OF NEW BASE YEAR HOSPITAL SPECIFIC AVERAGE COST PER DISCHARGE

A. For each hospital, identify total Medicaid inpatient costs, adjusted to remove the cost of blood replaced by patient donors, to include PSRO/UR cost separately identified, and to include the cost of malpractice insurance. This amount is the amount derived as identified in paragraph (D)(6)(e) of rule 5101:3-2-074 of the Administrative Code. Divide this amount by the number of discharges for each hospital as discharges are described in paragraph (D)(11)(a) of rule 5101:3-2-074 of the Administrative Code to produce the initial average cost per discharge.

B. Remove Direct Costs of Medical Education

1. For each hospital, identify direct costs of medical education from paragraph (D)(7)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-074 of the Administrative Code.

2. Divide the direct medical education amount from Section (I)(B)(1) of this Appendix by total Medicaid inpatient costs adjusted as described in Section (I)(A) of this Appendix and add 1.00.

3. Divide the initial average cost per discharge described in Section (I)(A) of this Appendix by the direct medical education factor derived from Section (I)(B)(2) of this Appendix.

C. Remove Capital-Related Costs

1. For each hospital, identify capital-related cost from paragraph (D)(8)(b) of this rule.

2. Divide capital-related cost from Section (I)(C)(1) of this Appendix by total Medicaid inpatient costs adjusted as described in Section (I)(A) of this Appendix and add 1.00.

3. Divide the average cost per discharge amount derived from Section (I)(B)(3) of this Appendix by the capital factor derived from Section (I)(C)(2) of this Appendix.

D. Remove Indirect Teaching

1. For each hospital, identify the number of interns and residents described in paragraph (A)(1) of rule 5101:3-2-077 of the Administrative Code.

2. For each hospital, identify the number of beds described in paragraph (B) (1) of rule 5101:3-2-077 of the Administrative Code.

3. Divide the number of interns and residents described in Section (I)(D)(1) of this Appendix by the number of beds described in Section (I)(D)(2) of this Appendix to obtain the intern-and resident-to-bed ratio. Divide this ratio by .10, multiply the resulting product by .05795, then add 1.00.

4. Divide the average cost per discharge derived from Section (I)(B)(3) of this Appendix by the indirect medical education factor derived from Section (I)(D)(3) of this Appendix.

II. CALCULATION OF LIMITS ON REIMBURSABLE COSTS AND CEILINGS ON RATE OF HOSPITAL INCREASES

Hospital-specific values referenced in this Section of this Appendix are those shown in Attachment 1 to this Appendix. The values shown in Attachment 1 were calculated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 5101:3-2 of the Administrative Code as such provisions were in effect as of October 1, 1984, with three exceptions. Peer Group Values reflect those peer grouping criteria described in rule 5101:3-2-072 of the Administrative Code and, for purposes of this Appendix, Children’s hospitals as defined in rule 5101:3-2-072 of the Administrative Code are peer grouped. Where such values were revised at the request of hospitals, the values reflect those in effect for the rate period beginning July 1, 1985. For certain hospital values indicated in Attachment 1, values have been revised to reflect revisions made by the Health Care Finance Administration and made available to the department by July 1, 1987. Where a hospital believes that the values shown in Attachment 1 are different than those described in this paragraph or believes that those values which reflect revisions made by the Health Care Finance Administration are incorrect, the provisions of Rules 5101:3-2-078 and 5101:3-2-0712 of the Administrative Code regarding reconsideration and redetermination of payment rates shall apply.

5101:3-2-07.5 Disproportionate share adjustment.

This rule describes the disproportionate share definition and limitations on payment methods described in rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code and assessment determinations described in rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code for the program year specified in paragraph (A)(9) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(A) For the program year specified in paragraph (A)(9) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code, paragraphs (B) to (D) of this rule set forth the definition of disproportionate share as well as other procedures and data used for the disproportionate share calculations and assessment determinations as described in rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code and payment determinations as described in rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code.

(B) Source data for calculations.

The source data used for the calculations made in paragraphs (C) and (D) of this rule will be the hospital’s cost-reporting period ending in the state fiscal year as specified in paragraph (B) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(1) For each hospital calculate the medicaid utilization rate by dividing the sum of total medicaid days and managed care plan (MCP) days as defined in paragraph (A) of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code by total facility days as defined in paragraph (A) of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code.

(2) Each hospital with a medicaid utilization rate greater than or equal to one per cent qualifies as a disproportionate share hospital for the purposes of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code.

(3) Each hospital with a medicaid utilization rate less than one per cent qualifies as a nondisproportionate share hospital for the purposes of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code.

(D) Limitations on disproportionate share and indigent care payments made to hospitals.

(1) For purposes of this rule, for each hospital, calculate medicaid fee for service(FFS) shortfall by subtracting from total medicaid costs, as defined in paragraph (A) of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code, total medicaid payments, as described in paragraph (A) of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code. For those hospitals exempt from the prospective payment system as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code, the medicaid shortfall equals zero.

(2) For each hospital, calculate the total medicaid shortfall by adding the medicaid FFS shortfall as defined in paragraph (D)(1) of this rule to the medicaid MCP shortfall as defined in paragraph (E)(2)(d) of rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code.

(3) For each hospital, determine the total cost of uncompensated care for people without insurance as described in paragraphs (D)(3)(a) to (D)(3)(c) of this rule.

(a) For each hospital, “total inpatient uncompensated care costs for people without insurance” means the sum of the inpatient disability assistance medical costs, uncompensated care costs below the poverty level, and uncompensated care costs above the poverty level amounts from the JFS 02930, schedule F, column 5, line 11.

(b) For each hospital, “total outpatient uncompensated care costs for people without insurance” means the sum of the outpatient disability assistance medical costs, uncompensated care costs below the poverty level, and uncompensated care costs above the poverty level amounts from the JFS 02930, schedule F, column 5, line 15.

(c) For each hospital, total uncompensated care costs for patients without insurance is equal to the sum of paragraphs (D)(3)(a) and (D)(3)(b) of this rule.

(4) For each hospital, calculate the hospital disproportionate share limit by adding the total medicaid shortfall as described in paragraph (D)(2) of this rule and total uncompensated care costs for people without insurance as described in paragraph (D)(3)(c) of this rule.

(5) The hospital will receive the lesser of the disproportionate share limit as described in paragraph (D)(4) of this rule or the disproportionate share and indigent care payment as calculated in rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code.

5101:3-2-07.6 Capital costs.

(A) For purposes of this rule, capital costs include the categories of costs recognized by medicare on the centers for medicare and medicaid services (CMS) 2552-96 revised April 1, 2005, available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/pub152/PUB_15_2.asp.

(B) Capital-related costs for Ohio hospitals paid under prospective payment will be subject to reasonable cost reimbursement. The program reimbursable amount will be reconciled during settlement to the total amount of interim capital payments associated with discharges occurring during the cost-reporting period.

(C) Annual update of interim capital payments. The calculation of interim capital payments resulting in the capital allowance identified in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code is based on the hospital’s cost-reporting period.

On an annual basis, the interim capital payments will be redetermined by identifying the capital-related costs reported on CMS 2552-96; multiplying that cost by the per cent of medicaid inpatient charges to total charges; and dividing the result by the number of medicaid discharges that occurred during the cost-reporting period. The cost report used to complete these calculations is the interim settled cost report ending in the state fiscal year ending in the calendar year preceding the immediate past calendar year prior to January first of the calendar year to which the new capital rate shall apply.

(D) Non-Ohio hospital capital reimbursement.

(1) The average statewide capital cost is computed by summing total capital costs for all Ohio hospitals as described in paragraph (C) of this rule, divided by total discharges for all Ohio hospitals as described in paragraph (C)(2) of this rule.

(2) The average statewide capital cost is updated annually using capital costs from cost reports as described in paragraph (C) of this rule.

(3) The amounts derived in paragraph (D)(1) of this rule will reflect a statewide average calculated to be in effect at the beginning of the prospective rate year and not subject to retrospective adjustments.

5101:3-2-07.7 Medical education.

Ohio hospitals that have an approved medical education program as defined in 42 C.F.R. 405.421 effective September 1, 1983 qualify for an allowance for medical education. This rule describes the method used to determine the medical education allowance that will be added to the diagnostic related group (DRG) base price for teaching hospitals. Source documents used are those described in paragraph (D) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(A) Direct medical education allowance.

(1) Identify the hospital’s intern and resident cost as reported on the health care finance administration H.C.F.A. 2552-85 effective July 1, 1985 and available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/pub152/PUB_15_2.asp, worksheet B, part I, line 95, column 21 and divide that cost by the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) residents and interns reported by the hospital on H.C.F.A. 2552-85, worksheet S-3, column 9, lines 8, 9, and 10.

(2) Determine the value of one standard deviation above the statewide mean cost per intern/resident. The statewide mean cost per intern/resident is determined by dividing the statewide total cost for interns and residents by the total number of FTE interns and residents in the state. The numbers used in this computation are identified in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule.

(3) Compare the hospital-specific average cost per intern/resident as described in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule with the amount derived from paragraph (A)(2) of this rule. The allowable cost per intern/resident for hospitals which that have a hospital-specific average cost per intern/resident below the amount derived from paragraph (A)(2) of this rule is the amount derived as described in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule. The allowable cost per intern/resident for hospitals that have a hospital-specific average cost per intern/resident above the amount derived from paragraph (A)(2) of this rule is the amount as described in paragraph (A)(2) of this rule.

(4) Multiply the hospital’s allowable cost per intern/resident, as described in paragraph (A)(3) of this rule, by the hospital’s number of FTE interns and residents.

(5) Add to the total allowed cost for interns and residents computed in paragraph (A)(4) of this rule, the hospital’s costs for nursing and paramedical education from H.C.F.A.2552-85, worksheet B, line 95, columns 20, 22, 23, and 24.

(6) Multiply the total allowed direct medical education cost derived in paragraph (A)(5) of this rule by the per cent derived in paragraph (D)(6)(b)(iii) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. Divide this product by the number of discharges used to calculate the average cost per discharge as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(B) Indirect medical education allowance.

(1) The hospital’s indirect medical education percentage will be determined by applying the following logarithmic formula:

The number of interns and residents will be the number described in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule. The number of beds will be the number reported on H.C.F.A. 2552-85, worksheet S-3, lines 8, 9, and 10, column 1.

(2) Determine the total indirect medical education cost for a hospital by subtracting the amount derived in paragraph (D)(9)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code from the amount derived in paragraph (D)(8)(c) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(3) Determine a hospital-specific unit cost of indirect medical education by dividing the amount derived from paragraph (B)(2) of this rule by the product of one hundred times, the percentage calculated in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule. This amount is then divided by the number of discharges used to calculate the average cost per discharge as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(4) A statewide mean unit cost for indirect medical education is determined by summing all hospitals’ unit cost as described in paragraph (B)(3) of this rule, eliminating the two values that represent the highest and the lowest values, and dividing this sum by the number of values used in this calculation. The values of one standard deviation above this statewide mean cost is then determined.

(5) Compare the hospital-specific unit cost of indirect medical education as described in paragraph (B)(3) of this rule to the statewide mean unit cost plus one standard deviation as described in paragraph (B)(4) of this rule. The allowable indirect medical education unit cost for hospitals that have a hospital-specific unit cost below the statewide mean plus one standard deviation is the amount derived in paragraph (B)(3) of this rule. The allowable unit cost for hospitals with a unit cost above the statewide mean plus one standard deviation is the amount derived in paragraph (B)(4) of this rule.

(6) The allowable unit cost for indirect medical education is multiplied by one hundred, times the indirect medical education percentage described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule to determine the indirect medical education allowance.

(C) The total medical education allowance is the sum of the indirect medical education allowance derived in paragraph (B)(6) of this rule and the direct medical education amount derived in paragraph (A)(6) of this rule, adjusted for inflation as described in paragraphs (D)(12) and (G) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(D) The total medical education allowance as described in paragraph (C) of this rule is adjusted to remove the effects of the hospital’s case mix. The data used to compute the hospital’s case mix index are the hospital’s claim records for discharges occurring during the hospital’s fiscal period, on or after April 1, 1990 through December 31, 1991, and paid by December 31, 1992. For purposes of this paragraph, case mix is determined using the DRG categories and relative weights described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code and includes outlier cases as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code.

(1) For each hospital the number of cases in each DRG is multiplied by the relative weight for each DRG. Round the result to five decimal places. The relative weights are those described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code.

(2) Sum the result of each computation in paragraph (D)(1) of this rule.

(3) Divide the product from paragraph (D)(2) of this rule by the number of cases in the hospital’s sample as described in paragraph (D) of this rule. Round the result to five decimal places. This produces a hospital-specific case mix index.

(4) Divide the total medical education allowance as described in paragraph (C) of this rule by the hospital-specific case mix index computed in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule to determine the adjusted total medical education allowance. Round the result to the nearest whole penny.

(E) The adjusted total medical education allowance as described in paragraph (D) of this rule is multiplied by the relative weight appropriate to the DRG as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code, rounding the result to the nearest whole penny, to determine the hospital specific medical education allowance amount for the DRG.

5101:3-2-07.8 Redetermination of prospective payment rates.

(A) General description.

In future years, prospective payment rates may be determined by application of a projected inflation value as set forth in paragraph (B) of this rule leaving base-year costs and relative weights unchanged. Alternatively, through revision of relevant rules in this chapter, either or both the rebasing of base-year costs or the recalibration of relative weights for DRGs may occur and may result in a significant change in the prospective payment rate. In addition to redetermination of rates associated with the beginning of a new rate year, redetermination may occur within a rate year. At the beginning of each new rate year, a ninety-day period will be provided to both the department and the hospitals for the verification of all data used in rate calculations and the detection of errors in the calculations of rate amounts following the methodologies detailed in rules 5101:3-2-07.4, 5101:3-2-07.6, and 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code. Rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code describes the procedures by which a hospital may request reconsideration of a rate component during the first ninety days of a rate year as well as the conditions under which subsequent reconsideration may be requested. Rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code describes the conditions under which the department may initiate rate adjustments after the initial ninety-day verification period has passed. This rule describes the applicability of and procedures for redetermination of prospective rates.

(B) Application of inflation allowance.

At the start of each succeeding state fiscal year, the department shall apply a projected inflation value as defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

The peer group average cost per discharge component described in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(4) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code may be redetermined in accordance with paragraphs (C)(1) to (C)(3) of this rule.

(1) When reclassification of hospitals among peer groups occurs as described in paragraph (D)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, the peer group average cost per discharge component will be redetermined if such redetermination would result in at least a two per cent difference, negative or positive, in the peer group average cost per discharge amount.

(2) The peer group average cost per discharge component will be redetermined if the use of revised or corrected hospital-specific average cost per discharge data would result in at least a two per cent difference in the peer group average cost per discharge amount subject to the provisions of this paragraph. In order to redetermine the peer group average cost per discharge under the provisions of this paragraph and paragraph (C) of this rule, the following conditions apply:

(a) Revised or corrected hospital-specific average cost per discharge data are identified under the provisions described in paragraphs (C) to (C)(3) of this rule, rule 5101:3-2-07.12, or rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code.

(b) Data described in paragraph (C)(2)(a) of this rule is identified within two rate periods following implementation of rebased rate components.

(3) For the purposes of paragraphs (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this rule, any redeterminations of the peer group average cost per discharge component will be made in accordance with the provisions set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. If peer group rates are subject to redetermination because they meet the provision of paragraph (C)(1) or (C)(2) of this rule, the timing of the adjustment to the rate and the mechanism for retrospectively adjusting previously paid claims depends upon the magnitude of the adjustment. If the use of revised hospital-specific data for one or more hospitals in a peer group results in a change of at least five per cent in the peer group average cost per discharge, the rate adjustment will be made prospectively for admissions on or after the thirtieth day following the final administrative decision described in rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code, or following the recognition by the department that an adjustment in the peer group average cost per discharge calculation is warranted, whichever is earlier. Claims previously paid that are subject to the adjustment will be adjusted retrospectively at interim settlement or can be mass adjusted if the provider requests in writing that a mass adjustment of that provider’s claims be performed. If the use of revised data for one or more hospitals in a peer group results in a change of less than five per cent in the peer group average cost per discharge, the adjustment will be made prospectively for admissions on or after the first day of the next rate year and retrospectively during interim or final settlement. The retrospective adjustment of previously paid claims will be accomplished by determining the difference between the amount paid during the period that incorrect rates were in effect and the amount that would have been paid if the correct rates had been in effect and adjusting this amount by case-mix.

(D) Redetermination of a hospital-specific rate component.

Redetermination of a hospital-specific rate component as described in rules 5101:3-2-07.6 and 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code will not be implemented until the beginning of the next prospective rate year unless the need for the change in the rate component is detected within the first ninety days of a new rate year. Adjustments to claims paid during a period when a rate component was incorrect will be made retrospectively at interim settlement. Corrections to these rate components will be made prospectively at the beginning of the following rate year.

(E) Notification of effective rates.

Prior to the beginning of each prospective payment rate year, each Ohio hospital will be given notice regarding payment rates for the upcoming prospective payment years. The payment rate information described in this paragraph will be effective for the prospective payment year, except as otherwise provided in rules 5101:3-2-07.12 and 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code and this rule. Information provided in the notice described in this paragraph shall include:

(1) Peer group average cost per discharge adjusted as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code;

(2) Hospital-specific allowances, as applicable, for capital and medical education as described in rules 5101:3-2-07.4, 5101:3-2-07.6, and 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code; and

(3) Indication of whether the hospital is recognized as operating a distinct-part psychiatric unit, and/or level I, II, or III nursery unit as each are described in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code. Hospitals must notify the department immediately when a change in psychiatric unit distinct part and/or nursery unit occurs. Retrospective adjustment of previously paid claims to reflect the change in status of the psychiatric unit or nursery will be processed for claims with discharges beginning on the later of the effective date of the change or the first day of the rate year in which the department was notified of the change. No adjustments to paid claims will be made for claims with discharge dates that were prior to the beginning of the rate year in which the department was notified of the change.

5101:3-2-07.9 Payment for outliers.

This rule defines cost and day outliers and exceptional outliers, and describes the reimbursement methodology that will be used in paying for all types of outliers for inpatient hospitals subject to the prospective payment system. The payment policies contained in this rule are effective for dates of discharge on or after January 1, 2006.

(A) The Ohio department of job and family services (“ODJFS”) will provide for an additional payment to a hospital for covered inpatient hospital services to a medicaid recipient that exceeds the thresholds as described in paragraphs(A)(1) to (A)(3)(6) of this rule.

(1) For diagnostic related groups (DRGs) 1 to 384; 391 to 468; 471 to 503: The total allowed charges for an inpatient stay exceeds the statewide arithmetic mean charge, as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code, for the appropriate DRG by two standard deviations.

(2) For DRGs 385; 388 to 390; 892 to 898: The total allowed charges for the inpatient stay exceeds the statewide arithmetic mean charge, as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code, for the applicable DRG by one standard deviation.

(3) For DRGs 1 to 384; 391 to 468; 471 to 503: The recipient’s covered length of stay exceeds the statewide geometric mean length of stay for the applicable DRG by two standard deviations.

(4) For DRGs 388 to 390 and 892 to 898: The recipient’s covered length of stay exceeds the statewide geometric mean length of stay for the applicable DRG by one standard deviation.

(5) If a hospital that does not meet the criteria described in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule has a discharge that qualified for both a cost and a day outlier payment, then the hospital receives payment for the case as a cost outlier only.

(6) Effective August 1, 2002, if the cost for a case determined by multiplying the allowed charges from the claim by the hospital-specific cost-to-charge ratio, determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code, exceeds four hundred forty-three thousand, four hundred sixty-three dollars, then payment will be as described in paragraph (D) of this rule. This threshold amount will be inflated on an annual basis on January first of each year by using the inflation factor described in paragraph (G)(1) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, that has been supplied to the department by three months prior to the beginning of the rate year.

(B) Payment for extended length of stay (day outliers).

(1) If the hospital stay reflected by a discharge includes covered days of care beyond the threshold as described in paragraphs (A)(3) and (A)(4) of this rule, an additional payment shall be made.

(2) Any case that qualifies for a day outlier payment is subject to review as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code.

(3) For discharges in DRGs 1 to 384; 391 to 468; 471 to 503: Except as provided in paragraph (B)(5) of this rule, the per diem payment will be based on sixty per cent of the per diem rate, except that for hospitals meeting the criteria described in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule, per diem payment will be eighty per cent of the per diem rate. The per diem rate is calculated by dividing the hospital’s final prospective rate for that DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, less capital and teaching allowance for the applicable DRG by the statewide geometric mean length of stay, calculated excluding outliers, for that DRG. The total day outlier payment is then determined by multiplying the number of covered days beyond the day threshold times the per diem payment amount. The total payment is the final prospective payment rate as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, plus the outlier payment. If the total payment exceeds allowable charges, reimbursement is limited to allowable charges.

(4) For DRGs 388 to 390 and 892 to 898: The per diem payment will be based on eighty per cent of the per diem rate determined by dividing the hospital’s final prospective payment rate for that DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, less capital and teaching allowance for the applicable DRG by the statewide geometric mean length of stay, calculated excluding outliers, for that DRG. The total day outlier payment is then determined by multiplying the number of covered days beyond the day threshold times the per diem payment amount. The total payment is the final prospective payment rate as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, plus the outlier payment. If the total payment exceeds allowable charges, reimbursement is limited to allowable charges.

(5) If a hospital meeting the criteria described in paragraph (G) of this rule has a discharge that groups into DRG 488, DRG 489, or DRG 490, the per diem payments made under paragraph (A)(1) of this rule will be based on eighty per cent of the per diem rate. The per diem rate is calculated by dividing the hospital’s final prospective rate for that DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, less capital and teaching allowance for the applicable DRG by the statewide geometric mean length of stay, calculated excluding outliers, for that DRG. The total day outlier payment is then determined by multiplying the number of covered days beyond the day threshold times the per diem payment amount. The total payment is the final prospective payment rate as determined in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, plus the outlier payment. If the total payment exceeds allowable charges, reimbursement is limited to allowable charges.

(1) If the allowable charges exceeds the statewide charge threshold for the applicable DRG as described in paragraphs (A)(1) and (A)(2) of this rule, an additional payment shall be made. The threshold amount for each DRG will be inflated on an annual basis on January first of each year by using the inflation factor described in paragraph (G) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, that has been supplied to the department by three months prior to the beginning of the rate year.

(2) Any case that qualifies for a cost outlier payment is subject to review as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code.

(3) For discharges in DRGs 1 to 384; 391 to 468; 471 to 503: Except as otherwise provided in paragraghs (C)(5) and (C)(6) of this rule, the difference determined by subtracting the statewide charge threshold, as described in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule from allowable charges, is multiplied by the hospital-specific cost to charge ratio to determine the additional payment to be made for the outlier portion. The total payment for cost outlier claims except those described in paragraphs (C)(5) and (C)(6) of this rule is the final prospective payment rate as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, plus the outlier amount.

Total reimbursement is limited to the lower of allowable claim charges or claim cost. Claim cost is calculated by multiplying allowable claim charges by the hospital specific, medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio, as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(4) For DRGs 385; 388 to 390; and 892 to 898: The difference determined by subtracting the statewide charge threshold, as described in paragraph (A)(2) of this rule from the allowable charges, is multiplied by the hospital-specific cost to charge ratio to determine the additional payment to be made for the outlier portion except as provided in paragraph (C)(5) of this rule. The total payment for cost outlier claims except those described in paragraph (C)(5) of this rule is the final prospective payment rate as described in 5101:3-2-07.9 3 paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, plus the outlier amount. Total reimbursement is limited to the lower of allowable claim charges or claim cost. Claim cost is calculated by multiplying allowable claim charges by the hospital specific, medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio, as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(5) For hospitals meeting the criteria described in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule, payment for cost outlier claims will be eighty-five per cent of the product of allowed claim charges times the hospital-specific, medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(6) For hospitals meeting the criteria described in paragraph (G) of this rule, payment for cost outlier claims will be eighty-five per cent of the product of allowed claim charges times the hospital-specific, medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code for cases grouping into DRG 488, DRG 489, or DRG 490.

(D) Cases that meet the criteria described in paragraph (A)(6) of this rule will be paid the product of the hospital’s allowable charges times the hospital-specific cost-to-charge ratio, as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(E) Hospitals that meet the criteria described in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule are subject to the special outlier payment policies described in paragraphs (A)(6), and (C)(5) of this rule.

(1) The hospital-specific outlier per cent as described in paragraph (F)(2)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code is greater than one standard deviation over the statewide mean outlier per cent as described in paragraph(F)(2)(c) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

(2) The hospital’s ratio of medicaid, general assistance, and Title V inpatient days to total inpatient days as described in paragraph (F)(1)(b) of this rule is greater than one standard deviation above the statewide mean ratio of medicaid, general assistance, and Title V inpatient days to total inpatient days as described in paragraph (F)(2)(c) of this rule.

(F) The calculations described in paragraphs (F)(1) to (F)(2)(c) of this rule were performed using ODHS 2930 cost-report data submitted by hospitals as described in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code. For hospitals with fiscal periods ending September thirtieth, October thirty-first, or December thirty-first, the 1985 cost-report is used. For hospitals with fiscal periods ending March thirty-first, May thirty-first, June thirtieth, or August thirty-first, the 1986 cost report is used.

(1) Determination of each hospital’s ratio of medicaid, general assistance, and Title V inpatient days to total inpatient days.

(a) Sum the number of days shown on the ODHS 2930, schedule D, section 1, column 6, total, for medicaid, general assistance, and Title V schedules.

(b) Divide the sum derived from paragraph (F)(1)(a) of this rule by total inpatient days as reported on the ODHS 2930, schedule D, section 1, column 4, total. Round to six decimal places.

(2) Determination of one standard deviation above the statewide mean ratio of medicaid, general assistance, and Title V inpatient days to total inpatient days.

(a) Sum the ratios derived from paragraph (F)(1)(b) of this rule across all Ohio hospitals. Divide the resulting sum by the number of hospitals to determine the statewide mean ratio.

(b) Determine the value of one standard deviation above the statewide mean ratio. Round the ratio to six decimal places.

(c) Sum the values calculated as described in paragraphs (F)(2)(a) and (F)(2)(b) of this rule to determine the value of one standard deviation above the statewide mean ratio of medicaid, general assistance, and Title V inpatient days to total inpatient days.

(G) Hospitals whose total number of cases in the claim files used for setting relative weights in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code that group into DRG 488, DRG 489, or DRG 490 is greater than two standard deviations above the statewide mean for all cases that fall into these DRGs, as described in paragraphs (G)(1)(a) to (G)(1)(c) of this rule, are subject to the special outlier payment policies described in paragraph (B)(5) and (C)(6) of this rule.

(1) Determination of two standard deviations above the statewide mean total cases that group into DRG 488, DRG 489, or DRG 490.

(a) Sum the number of cases that group into DRG 488, DRG 489, and DRG 490 using the claim base described in paragraphs (C) to (C)(4)(b) of rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code. Divide the resulting sum by the number of hospitals that had any claim group into DRG 488, DRG 489, or DRG 490.

(b) Determine the value of two standard deviations above the statewide mean number of cases.

(c) Sum the values calculated as described in paragraphs (G)(1)(a) and (G)(1)(b) of this rule to determine the value of two standard deviations above the statewide mean total number of cases in DRG 488, DRG 489, and DRG 490.

5101:3-2-07.11 Payment methodology.

(A) Payments under the prospective payment system. For inpatient hospitals subject to prospective payment as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code, payments are made on the basis of a prospectively determined rate as provided in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. Additional payments may be made for services described in accordance with paragraph (C) of rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code. The amount paid represents final payment based on a submission of a discharge bill. No year-end retrospective adjustment is made for prospective payment except as provided in rules 5101:3-2-07.8 and 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code. Except as provided in rules 5101:3-2-24, 5101:3-2-07.13, and 5101:3-2-42 of the Administrative Code, a hospital may keep the difference between its prospective payment rate and costs incurred in furnishing inpatient services and is at risk for costs which exceed the prospective payment amounts.

(B) Amounts of payment, including all components of the prospective payment rate, DRG categories and relative weights associated with such categories, identification of outlier cases and payment methods for outliers, transfers and readmissions, and other provisions affecting amounts of payment are based on applying the provisions of this chapter to claims associated with dates of discharge on or after the effective dates of the rules in this chapter, unless otherwise specified.

(C) Hospitals must submit a claim for payment only upon a recipient’s final discharge as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code including those discharges which meet the criteria for outlier payments defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code unless the claim qualifies for interim billing as described in paragraph (C)(3) of this rule. Transfers and readmissions are defined and paid in accordance with the provisions of this rule. The department shall assign a DRG by using the DRG “grouper,” modified as described in this paragraph. For discharges on or after February 1, 2000, the department uses the “grouper” distributed by “Health Services, Incorporated,” a software package used by medicare during federal fiscal year 1998. A listing of DRG classifications is shown in appendix A of this rule. The relative weights assigned are those described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code. Cases which would be classified in DRG 385 or DRG 456 because of a transfer or death, but which involve a length of stay greater than fifteen days, are classified in the DRG which is otherwise appropriate if the transfer or death is not considered. For cases classified into DRG 386, two subgroups are created based upon the ICD-9-CM code. One subgroup is determined by cases which have ICD-9-CM code 765.0 listed as one of its diagnoses. The second subgroup is comprised of those cases that are grouped into DRG 386, but do not have 765.0 listed as a diagnosis. In accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code, different relative weights are assigned to the second DRG 386 subgroup depending on whether one, the hospital operates a level I or level II nursery, or two, a level III nursery. For cases classified into DRG 387, two subgroups are created based upon birthweight. Infants with weights of zero to one thousand seven hundred fifty grams are grouped into one subgroup and infants with weights of one thousand seven hundred fifty-one grams and above are grouped into another subgroup. In accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code, different relative weights are assigned to each DRG 387 subgroup depending on whether one, the hospital operates a level I or II nursery, or two, a level III nursery. Prior to submitting a claim to the DRG “Grouper,” each claim will be submitted to the medicare clinical editor to ensure that the information on the claim is complete and consistent . Each discharge will be assigned to only one DRG regardless of the number of conditions treated or services furnished by a hospital, except as provided in paragraph (C)(1) of this rule.

(1) For inpatient services provided to patients who are discharged, within the same hospital, from an acute care bed and admitted to a bed in a psychiatric unit distinct part, payment will be made based on the DRG representing services provided in the acute care section and the services provided in the psychiatric unit distinct part if the services are assigned to DRGs 425 to 435. If the services provided in both the acute care section and the psychiatric unit distinct part are assigned to any combination of DRGs 425 to 435, payment will be made only for that DRG assigned as a result of the information on a claim submitted by the hospital for services provided from the date of admission to the hospital through the date of discharge or transfer from the hospital. If separate claims are submitted for any combination of DRGs 425 to 435, only the first claim processed will be paid. In order to receive payment for the entire period of hospitalization, the hospital will need to submit an adjustment claim reflecting services and charges for the entire hospitalization.

In accordance with rule 5101:3-2-03 of the Administrative Code, no coverage is available for days of inpatient care which occur solely for the provision of rehabilitation services related to a chemical dependency. Therefore, ICD-9-CM procedure codes which must be present for a claim to group to either DRG 436 or 437, will not be submitted to the DRG “grouper.”

(2) For claims with discharge dates after September 3, 1991 which are rejected by the clinical editor as a result of an age, diagnosis code conflict, and the accuracy of the information contained on the claim is confirmed by the hospital, the prospective payment amount will be eighty-five per cent of the product of allowed claim charges times the hospital-specific, medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(3) A claim for inpatient services qualifies for interim payment on the thirtieth day of a consecutive inpatient stay and at thirty-day intervals thereafter. Under interim payment, hospitals will be paid on a percentage basis of charges. The percentage will represent the hospital-specific cost-to-charge ratio as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code. For those hospitals which are not required to file a cost report under the provisions of rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code, the statewide average inpatient cost-to-charge ratio as described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code will be used. Interim payments are made as a credit against final payment of the final discharge bill. Amounts of difference between interim payment made and the prospective payment described in paragraph (A) of this rule for the final discharge will be reconciled when the final discharge bill is processed.

(D) Payments for transfers as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code are subject to the provisions of paragraphs (D)(1) and (D)(2) of this rule.

(1) Payment to the transferring hospital. If a hospital paid under the prospective payment system transfers an inpatient to another hospital and that transfer is appropriate as defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code, then the transferring hospital is paid a per diem rate for each day of the patient’s stay in that hospital, plus capital and teaching allowances, as applicable, not to exceed, for nonoutlier cases, the final prospective payment rate that would have been paid for the appropriate DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code, except when that case is grouped into DRG 385 or DRG 456. Cases which are grouped into DRG 385 or DRG 456 are paid the full DRG payment in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. Except for DRG 385 and DRG 456, when a patient is transferred, the department’s payment is based on the DRG under which the patient was treated at each hospital. The per diem rate is determined by dividing the product of the hospital’s adjusted inflated average cost per discharge multiplied by the DRG relative weight as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code by the statewide geometric mean length of stay calculated excluding outliers for the specific DRG as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code into which the case falls.

(2) Payment to the discharging hospital. A hospital which receives a transfer and subsequently discharges that individual (as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code) is paid a per diem rate for each day of the patient’s stay in that hospital, plus capital and teaching allowances, as applicable, not to exceed, for nonoutlier cases, the final prospective payment rate amount that would have been paid for the appropriate DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. When a patient is transferred, the department’s payment is based on the DRG under which the patient was treated at each hospital. The per diem rate is determined by dividing the product of the hospital’s adjusted inflated average cost per discharge multiplied by the DRG relative weight as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code by the geometric mean length of stay calculated excluding outliers for the specific DRG as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code into which the case falls.

(E) Outlier payments. In addition to the payment provisions described in this rule, any hospital that is involved in discharging or transferring a patient as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code or that provides services to a medicaid patient who is partially eligible as described in paragraph (K) of this rule may qualify for additional payments in the form of outlier payments as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code.

(F) Readmissions are defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code. A readmission within one calendar day of discharge, to the same institution, is considered to be one discharge for payment purposes so that one DRG payment is made. If two claims are submitted, the second claim processed will be rejected. In order to receive payment for the entire period of hospitalization, the hospital will need to submit an adjustment claim reflecting services and charges for the entire hospitalization.

(G) Claims for payment for inpatient hospital services must be submitted on the UB-92 as provided in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code and include the data essential to assignment of a DRG. Claims assigned to DRGs 469, and 470 will be denied due to ungroupable coding.

(H) Claims for payment for discharges that may qualify for outlier payment may be billed only after discharge unless the claim qualifies for interim billing as described in paragraph (C)(3) of this rule. The claim will be processed for payment of the appropriate DRG prospective discharge payment rate as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code and outlier payments as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code.

(I) Providers must submit a new claim with a copy of the remittance statement and a completed adjustment request form as described in rule 5101:3-1-19.3 of the Administrative Code in order to adjust any claim which results in an improper assignment of a DRG or to correct any information provided.

(J) In the case of deliveries, the department requires hospitals to submit separate UB-92 invoices based respectively on the mother’s individual eligibility and the child’s individual eligibility.

(K) In instances when a recipient’s eligibility begins after the date of admission to the hospital or is terminated during the course of a hospitalization, payment will be made on a per diem basis plus the allowance for capital and teaching, as applicable. The per diem payment will be determined by dividing the product of the hospital’s adjusted inflated average cost per discharge multiplied by the DRG relative weight for the DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code by the statewide geometric mean length of stay calculated excluding outliers for that DRG as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code. The per diem amount will be multiplied times the number of covered days for which the patient was medicaid-eligible during the hospitalization. Payment for a nonoutlier case cannot exceed the final prospective payment rate for the DRG as described in paragraph (I) of rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code.

5101:3-2-07.12 Appeals and reconsideration of departmental determinations regarding hospital inpatient and outpatient services.

(A) General.

Pursuant to rules 5101:3-1-57 and 5101:6-50-01 of the Administrative Code, hospitals may appeal under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code final settlements that are based upon final audits by the department. Rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code describes of final fiscal audits and final settlements performed by the department. Rules 5101:3-1-29 and 5101:3-1-27 of the Administrative Code describe the audits performed by the department’s of surveillance and utilization review section, which are also appealable under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. Since the scope and substance of these two types of audits differ, in no instance will the conduct and implementation of one type of audit preclude the conduct and implementation of the other.

(B) Utilization review reconsideration.

Pursuant to rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code, the department or a medical review entity under contract to the department may make determinations regarding utilization review in accordance with the standards set forth in rules 5101:3-2-02, 5101:3-2-07.9, 5101:3-2-07.13, and 5101:3-2-40 of the Administrative Code. These determinations are subject to the reconsideration process described in rule 5101:3-1-57 of the Administrative Code as follows:

(1) A written request for a reconsideration must be submitted to the department or the medical review entity, whichever made the initial determination, within sixty days of the date of the determination. The department or the medical review entity shall have thirty working days from receipt of the request for reconsideration to issue a written decision accepting, modifying, or rejecting its previous determination. The request for reconsideration must include:

(a) A copy of the written determination;

(b) A copy of the patient’s medical record; and

(2) The department will conduct an administrative review of the reconsideration decision if the provider submits its request within thirty days of that decision. The department shall have thirty working days from receipt of the request for review to issue a final and binding decision. A request for an administrative review must include:

(a) A letter requesting a review of the reconsideration;

(b) A statement as to why the provider believes that the reconsideration decision was in error; and

(3) The department may extend time frames described in paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) of this rule, where adherence to time frames causes exceptional hardships to a large number of hospitals or where adherence to time frames as described in paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) of this rule causes exceptional hardship to a hospital because potential determinations constitute a large portion of that hospital’s total medicaid business.

(1) Except when the department’s determination is based on a finding made by medicare, the proper application of rules 5101:3-2-07.1 and 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code and the proper calculation of amounts (including source data used to calculate the amounts) determined in accordance with rules 5101:3-2-07.4, 5101:3-2-07.6, and 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code are subject to the reconsideration process described in rule 5101:3-1-57 of the Administrative Code as follows:

(a) Requests for reconsideration authorized by paragraph (C)(1) of this rule must be submitted to the department in writing. If the request for reconsideration involves a rate component or determination made at the beginning of the rate year, the request must be submitted within ninety days of the beginning of the rate year. If the request involves an adjustment or a determination made by the department after the beginning of the rate year, the request must be submitted within thirty days of the date the adjustment or determination was implemented. The request must include a statement as to why the provider believes that the rate component or determination was incorrect as well as all documentation supporting the provider’s position.

(b) The department shall have thirty days from receipt of the request for reconsideration to issue a final and binding decision.

(2) When a medicare audit finding was used by the department in establishing a rate component and the finding is subsequently overturned on appeal, the provider may request reconsideration of the affected rate component. Such requests must be submitted to the department in writing prior to final settlement as described rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code and within thirty days of the date the hospital receives notification from medicare of the appeal decision. The request for reconsideration of a medicare audit finding that has been overturned on appeal must include all documentation that explains the appeal decision. The department shall have thirty days in which to notify the provider of its final and binding decision regarding the medicare audit finding.

(3) Reconsideration may also be requested if a hospital believes that a claim or claims were paid in error because of an incorrect DRG (diagnosis related groups) assignment or incorrect payment calculation. In such an instance, the hospital must resubmit the claim(s) for an adjustment as described in rule 5101:3-1-19.8 of the Administrative Code. Following the adjustment process, if the hospital continues to believe that the department’s DRG assignment or payment calculation was in error, the provider may submit a written request for reconsideration that includes all documentation supporting the providers position. In this instance, the department shall have sixty days in which to notify the provider of its final and binding decision.

(D) State hearings for medicaid recipients whose claim for inpatient hospital services is denied.

Any recipient whose claim for inpatient hospital services is denied may request a state hearing in accordance with division 5101:6 of the Administrative Code. The determination of whether outlier payments will be made or the amounts of outlier payments as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code is not a denial of a claim for inpatient hospital services. Similarly, the determination of amounts payable for inpatient hospital services involving readmissions or transfers is not a denial of a claim for inpatient hospital services.

(E) The following items are not subject to the department’s reconsideration process:

(1) The use of the DRG classification system and the method of classification of discharges within DRGs.

(2) The assignment of relative weights to DRGs based on the methodology set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.3 of the Administrative Code.

(3) The establishment of peer groups as set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code.

(4) The methodology used to determine prospective payment rates as described in rules 5101:3-2-07.4 and 5101:3-2-07.6 to 5101:3-2-07.8 of the Administrative Code.

(5) The methodology used to identify cost and day thresholds for services that may qualify for outlier payments as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code.

(6) The formulas used to determine rates of payment for outliers, certain transfers and readmissions, and services subject to preadmission certification, as described, respectively, in rules 5101:3-2-07.9, 5101:3-2-07.11, and 5101:3-2-40 of the Administrative Code.

(7) The peer group average cost per discharge for all hospitals except when the conditions detailed in rule 5101:3-2-07.8 of the Administrative Code are met.

(8) Statewide calculations of the direct and indirect medical education threshold for allowable costs per intern and resident as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.7 of the Administrative Code and of the threshold for establishing which hospitals will be recognized as providing a disproportionate share of indigent care as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.5 of the Administrative Code.

5101:3-2-07.13 Utilization control.

(A) The Ohio department of job and family services shall perform or shall require a medical review entity to perform utilization review for medicaid inpatient services regardless of the payment methodology used for reimbursement of those services. The nature of this program is described in paragraphs (A) to (E) of this rule. Utilization review of outpatient hospital services is described in paragraph (F) of this rule. For the purposes of this rule, “ODJFS” means ODJFS or its contractual designee. ODJFS, during the course of its analyses, may request information or records from the hospital and may conduct on-site medical record reviews. Reviews shall be completed within twelve months of the payment date and in the case of interim payments described in rule 5101:3-2-07.11 of the Administrative Code within twelve months after the last payment has been made. Paragraphs (C) to (D)(3) of this rule provide examples of reviews to be completed by ODJFS.

(B) ODJFS shall review a minimum of two per cent of all admissions retrospectively. Admissions selected for review will be drawn from several categories including but not limited to those identified in paragraphs (C)(1) to (D)(3) of this rule.

(1) While the nature of the review will vary depending on the category of admission, all admissions selected will be reviewed to determine whether care was medically necessary on an inpatient hospital basis; to determine if the care was medically necessary as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code; to determine whether the discharge occurred at a medically appropriate time, to assess the quality of care rendered as described in 42 C.F.R. 456.3(b), and to assess compliance with division 5101:3 of the Administrative Code.

(2) If any of the cases reviewed for a hospital do not meet the conditions described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, then ODJFS may deny payment or recoup payment beginning with the first inappropriate admission and/or discharge. Any negative determinations must be made by a physician.

(3) If the diagnostic and/or procedural information on the claim form is found to be inconsistent with that found in the medical records in conjunction with the physician attestation, then changes may be made in the coding and payment may be adjusted as described in paragraph (D)(3) of this rule.

(C) ODJFS may include in its retrospective review sample the categories of admissions described in paragraphs (C)(1) to (D)(3) of this rule.

(1) ODJFS may review transfers as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code. The purpose of the transfer review will be to examine the documented reasons for and appropriateness of the transfer. ODJFS considers a transfer as appropriate if the transfer is required because the individual requires some treatment or care which that is unavailable at the transferring hospital or if there are other exceptional circumstances that justify transfer. Because this provision addresses exceptional cases, it is impossible to delineate exact criteria to cover all possible circumstances. Cases will be individually considered by ODJFS based on the merits of each case. If any of the hospital’s transfer cases reviewed are found to be inappropriate transfers, then ODJFS may intensify the review, including the addition of prepayment review and pretransfer certification. ODJFS may deny payment to or recoup payment from a provider who has transferred patients inappropriately.

(2) ODJFS may review readmissions as readmissions are defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code. The purpose of readmission review is to determine if the readmission is appropriate. If the readmission is related to the first hospitalization, ODJFS will determine if the readmission resulted from complications or other circumstances that arose because of an early discharge and/or other treatment errors. If the readmission is unrelated, ODJFS will determine if the treatment or care provided during the readmission should have been provided during the first hospitalization. If it is determined the readmission was inappropriate, then any payment made for the separate admissions will be recouped. A new payment amount will be determined by collapsing any affected admissions into one payment.

(3) ODJFS may review claims for which outlier payments are made to determine if days or services were covered and were medically necessary. For outliers, review will be made to determine that all services were medically necessary, appropriately billed based on services rendered, ordered by the physician, and not duplicatively billed. If it is determined that services were inappropriately billed or if days or services are determined to be noncovered or not medically necessary as described in rules 5101:3-2-02 and 5101:3-2-03 of the Administrative Code, recoupment of any overpayments will occur. Overpayments will be determined by calculating the difference between the amount paid and the amount that would be paid if the nonallowable or noncovered days or services were excluded from the claim.

(4) ODJFS may review admissions with short lengths of stay. Reviews in this category will be concentrated on any admission with a length of stay greater than two standard deviations below the mean length of stay for the DRG (diagnosis related groups) of that admission. This is based on the distribution, by DRG, of lengths of stay of admissions in Ohio medicaid inpatient claims. Reviews will be conducted to determine if the inpatient stay was medically necessary to provide services or if the services rendered could have been provided in an outpatient setting using observation codes as described in rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code.

(5) ODJFS shall review cases in which a denial letter has been issued by the hospital. In addition, ODJFS shall review all cases in which the attending physician and/or recipient (or family member) disagrees with the hospital’s decision and requests a review of the case. The hospital must send a copy of each denial letter to ODJFS’s medical review entity.

(D) ODJFS may review medical records to validate DRG assignment for any admission.

(1) The physician attestation process is to be completed for the medicaid program by following the medicare procedure for attestation as delineated in 42 C.F.R. 412.46.

(2) DRG validation will be done on the basis of a review of medical records by verifying that the diagnostic and procedural coding used by the hospital is substantiated in these records.

(3) If the diagnostic and procedural information on the claim form is found to be inconsistent with that found in the medical records in conjunction with the physician attestation, ODJFS may correct the claim information and recalculate payment based on the appropriate DRG assignment. If the recalculation shows an overpayment was made to the hospital, the overpayment will be reconciled as an adjustment to the claim. In all instances, the information found in the medical record when used in conjunction with the physician attestation is controlling.

(E) Pre-certification review as detailed in rule 5101:3-2-40 of the Administrative Code shall be conducted in addition to the utilization review activities described in this rule.

(F) Outpatient hospital services may also be reviewed by ODJFS to determine whether the care or services were medically necessary as defined in rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code, to determine whether the services were appropriately billed, and to assess the quality of care rendered as described in 42 C.F.R. 456.3(b).

(G) Intensified reviews may result whenever ODJFS identifies inappropriate admission or billing practices during reviews conducted in accordance with this rule.

(H) Medical records must be maintained in accordance with 42 C.F.R. 482.24. Records requested by ODJFS for review must be supplied within thirty days of the request as described in rule 5101:3-1-17.2 of the Administrative Code. Failure to produce records within thirty days shall result in withholding or recoupment of medicaid payments.

(I) Decisions made by the medical review entity as described in this rule are appealable to the medical review entity and are subject to the reconsideration process described in rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code.

(J) ODJFS has delegated to the Ohio department of mental health (ODMH) the authority to make determinations regarding utilization review for inpatient psychiatric services in accordance with paragraphs (B), (C), (D), and (E) of this rule.

5101:3-2-07.17 Provision of basic, medically necessary hospital-level services.

Under the provisions of section 5112.17 of the Revised Code, each hospital that receives payment under the provisions of Chapter 5112. of the Revised Code, shall provide, without charge to the individual, basic, medically necessary hospital-level services to the individual who is a resident of this state, is not a recipient of the medicaid program and whose income is at or below the federal poverty line. Residence is established by a person who is living in Ohio voluntarily and who is not receiving public assistance in another state. Current recipients of the disability assistance (DA) program as defined in Chapter 5115. of the Revised Code or its successor program, qualify for services under the provisions of this rule.

(A) Definitions.

(1) “Basic, medically necessary hospital level services” are defined as all inpatient and outpatient services covered under the medicaid program in Chapter 5101:3-2 of the Administrative Code with the exception of transplantation services and services associated with transplantation. These covered services must be ordered by an Ohio licensed physician and delivered at a hospital where the physician has clinical privileges and where such services are permissible to be provided by the hospital under its certificate of authority granted under Chapters 3711., 3727., and/or 5119. of the Revised Code. Hospitals will be responsible for providing basic, medically necessary hospital-level services to those persons described in paragraph (B) of this rule.

(2) “Third-party payer” means any private or public entity or program that may be liable by law or contract to make payment to or on behalf of an individual for health care services. Third-party payer does not include a hospital.

(B) Determination of eligibility. A person is eligible for basic, medically necessary hospital-level services under the provisions of this rule if the person is a current recipient of the disability assistance(DA) program or its successor program, or the person’s individual or family income is at or below the current poverty guideline issued by the department of health and human services (available at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/figures-fed-reg.shtml), that applies to the individual or family when calculated by either of the methods described in paragraphs (B)(2)(a) and (B)(2)(b) of this rule on the date these services were provided.

(1) For purposes of this rule, a “family” shall include the patient, the patient’s spouse (regardless of whether they live in the home), and all of the patient’s children, natural or adoptive, under the age of eighteen who live in the home. If the patient is under the age of eighteen, the “family” shall include the patient, the patient’s natural or adoptive parent(s) (regardless of whether they live in the home), and the parent(s)’ children, natural or adoptive under the age of eighteen who live in the home. If the income of a spouse or parent who does not live in the home cannot be obtained, or the absent spouse or parent does not contribute income to the family, determination of eligibility shall proceed with the available income information. If the patient is the child of a minor parent who still resides in the home of the patient’s grandparents, the “family” shall include only the parent(s) and any of the parent(s)’ children, natural or adoptive who reside in the home.

(2) “Income” shall be defined as total salaries, wages, and cash receipts before taxes; receipts that reflect reasonable deductions for business expenses shall be counted for both farm and non-farm self-employment. Income will be calculated by:

(a) Multiplying by four the person’s or family’s income, as applicable, for the three months preceding the date hospital services were provided;

(b) Using the person’s or family’s income, as applicable, for the twelve months preceding the date hospital services were provided.

(3) For outpatient hospital services, a hospital may consider an eligibility determination to be effective for ninety days from the initial service date, during which a new eligibility determination need not be completed. Eligibility for inpatient hospital services must be determined separately for each admission, unless the patient is readmitted within forty-five days of discharge for the same underlying condition. Eligibility for recipients of the disability assistance (DA)program or its successor program must be verified on a monthly basis.

(4) A complete application for the hospital care assurance program is required prior to determination of eligibility. Each hospital shall develop an application that, at a minimum, must document income, family size and eligibility for the Medicaid program. The patient or a legal representative is required to sign the application. An unsigned application can be deemed acceptable if the patient is physically unable to sign the application or does not live in the vicinity of the hospital and is unable to return a signed application by mail. In these situations, the hospital representative should complete all questions on the application, sign it and must document why the patient is unable to sign the application.

(5) The hospital shall accept application for services without charge until three years from the date of the follow-up notice, as described in paragraphs (C)(2) and (C)(3) of this rule, has elapsed.

(6) Applicants shall cooperate in supplying information about health insurance or medical benefits available so a hospital may determine any potential third-party resources that may be available.

(7) Nothing in this rule shall be construed to prevent a hospital from requiring an individual to apply for eligibility under the medical assistance program before the hospital processes an application under this rule.

(C) Billing requirements. Hospitals may bill any third-party payer that has a legal liability to pay for services rendered under the provisions of this rule. Hospitals may bill the medicaid program in accordance with Chapter 5111. of the Revised Code and the rules adopted under that chapter for services rendered under the provisions of this rule if the individual becomes a recipient of the medicaid program. Hospitals may bill individuals for services if all of the following apply:

(1) The hospital has an established post-billing procedure for determining the individual’s income and canceling the charges if the individual is found to qualify for services under the provisions of this rule;

(2) The initial bill, and at least the first follow-up bill is accompanied by a written statement that does all of the following:

(a) Explains that individuals with income at or below the federal poverty guidelines are eligible for services without charge;

(b) Specifies the federal poverty guideline for individuals and families of various sizes at the time the bill is sent; and

(3) If the written statement as described in paragraph (C)(2) of this rule is printed on the back of the hospital’s bill or data-mailer, the hospital must reference the statement on the front of the bill or data-mailer.

(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (B) of this rule, a hospital providing care to an individual under the provisions of this rule is subrogated to the rights of any individual to receive compensation or benefits from any person or governmental entity for the hospital goods and services rendered.

(D) Notice requirements.

Each hospital that receives payment under Chapter 5112. of the Revised Code shall post notices in appropriate areas in the facility, including but not limited to the admissions areas, the business office and the emergency room that specify the rights of persons with incomes at or below the federal poverty line to receive, without charge to the individual, basic, medically necessary hospital-level services at the hospital. Posted notices must contain the following in order to comply with the requirement as described in this paragraph:

(1) At a minimum, the posted notices must specify the rights of these individuals to receive without charge, basic, medically necessary hospital-level services;

(2) The wording of the posted notice must be clear and in simple terms understandable by the population serviced;

(3) Posted notice must be printed in English and other languages that are common to the population of the area serviced;

(4) The posted notice must be clearly readable at a distance of twenty feet or the expected vantage point of the patrons;

(5) The facility shall make reasonable efforts to communicate the contents of the posted notice to persons it has reason to believe cannot read the notice.

(E) Documentation Requirements.

Each hospital shall establish and maintain a written policy outlining its internal policy for administration of the hospital care assurance program in compliance with this rule and with rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative code. Each hospital may change its written policy as needed, but policy changes may not be implemented retroactively. The written policy shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

(1) Procedure for taking applications and a copy of the current application in use as described in paragraph (B) of this rule,

(2) Procedure for eligibility determination including the determination of family size and determination of income. If the hospital requires verification of income other than the application, the written policy should describe what constitutes acceptable income documentation.

(F) Reporting requirements.

Each hospital shall collect and report to the department information on the number and categorical identity of persons served under the provisions of this rule.

(1) This information will be reported on the JFS 02930, schedule F which must be submitted annually along with a certification of the accuracy of this reported data as required by 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code. The JFS 02930 and instructions for completion are located in appendix A of rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code.

(2) The use of estimation methods to determine amounts for charges related to non-hospital level services or to determine the health insurance status of patients charges on patient accounts is not permitted.

(3) Each hospital shall maintain, make available for department review and provide to the department on request, any records necessary to document its compliance with the provisions of this rule, including:

(a) Any documents, including medical records of population served, from which the information required to be reported on the JFS 02930 was obtained;

(b) Accounts that clearly segregate the services rendered under the provisions of this rule from other accounts; and

(d) A copy of the disability assistance card or other evidence of eligibility for any person who is a recipient of the disability assistance (DA) program or its successor program at the time the services defined in paragraph (A) of this rule were delivered.

(4) Hospitals must retain these records for a period of six years from the date of receipt of payment based upon those records or until any audit initiated within the six year period is completed.

(G) This rule in no way alters the scope or limits the obligation of any governmental entity or program, including the program awarding reparations to victims of crime under sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the Revised Code and the program for medically handicapped children established under section 3701.023 of the Revised Code, to pay for hospital services in accordance with state or local law.

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.

(c) For hospitals involved in mergers during the program year that result in the hospitals using one provider number, the cost reports from the merged providers will be combined and annualized by the department to reflect one full year of operation.

Cost report data used in the calculations described in this rule will be the cost report data described in this paragraph and are subject to any adjustments made upon departmental review that is completed each year and subject to the provisions of paragraph (E) of this rule.

(2) Closed hospitals with unique medicaid provider numbers.

For a hospital facility, identifiable to a unique medicaid provider number, that closes during the current program year as defined in paragraph (A) of this rule, the cost report data shall be adjusted to reflect the portion of the year that the hospital was open during the current program year. That partial year data shall be used to determine the assessment owed by that closed hospital.

Hospitals identifiable to a unique medicaid provider that closed during the immediate prior program year will not owe an assessment for the current program year.

(3) Replacement hospital facilities.

(a) 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 this rule, the cost report data from the original facility shall be used to determine the assessment for the new replacement facility if the following conditions are met:

(i) Both facilities have the same ownership.

(ii) There is appropriate evidence to indicate that the new facility was constructed to replace the original facility.

(iii) The new replacement facility is so located as to serve essentially the same population as the original facility, and

(iv) The new replacement facility has not filed a cost report for the current program year.

(b) For a replacement hospital facility that opened in the immediate prior program year, the assessment 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.

From the first installment of the assessments paid under rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code and intergovernmental transfers made under rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code during each program year beginning in an odd-numbered calendar year, the department shall deposit into the state treasury to the credit of the legislative budget services fund a total amount equal to the amount by which the biennial appropriation from that fund exceeds the amount of the unexpended, unencumbered monies in that fund.

(D) Deposits into the health care services administration fund.

From the first installment of assessments paid under rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code and intergovernmental transfers made under rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code during each program year, the department shall deposit into the state treasury to the credit of the health care services administration fund, a total amount equal to the amount allocated by the appropriations act from assessments paid under section 5112.06 of the Revised Code and intergovernmental transfers made under section 5112.07 of the Revised Code during each program year.

(E) Finalization of data used for disproportionate share and indigent care adjustments.

During each program year, the department may mail any data the department may choose to use for disproportionate share and indigent care adjustments, described in rule 5101:3-2-09 of the Administrative Code to each hospital. Not later than thirty days after the department mails the data, any hospital may submit to the department a written request to correct data. Any documents, data, or other information that supports the hospital’s request to correct data must be submitted with the request. On the basis of the information submitted to the department, the department may adjust the data.

(1) For each program year, upon the expiration of all hospitals’ thirty-day data correction periods the department shall consider the data correction period closed and all data final, subject to review and acceptance by the department.

(2) Any hospital that requests to correct data after the expiration of its thirty-day correction period but before the data correction period is closed for all hospitals as described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule, shall be subject to an administrative fee. The administrative late fee shall be 0.03 per cent of the hospital’s adjusted total facility cost as calculated in paragraph (A)(15) of this rule. The hospital shall include payment of the administrative late fee with the written request to correct data.

(3) All amounts received by the department under this paragraph shall be deposited into the state treasury to the credit of the health care services administration fund, described under paragraph (A)(8) of this rule.

(4) The department shall accept at any time, data from any hospital that has overstated its reported data used to make disproportionate share and indigent care adjustments.

(F) Confidentiality.

Except as specifically required by the provisions of this rule and rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code, information filed shall not include any patient-identifying material. Information including patient-identifying information is not a public record under section 149.43 of the Revised Code and no patient-identifying material shall be released publicly by the department of job and family services or by any person under contract with the department who has access to such information.

5101:3-2-08.1 Assessment rates.

The provisions of this rule are applicable for the program year that ends in calendar year 2009 for all hospitals as defined under section 5112.01 of the Revised Code.

(A) Applicability.

The requirements of this rule apply as long as the United States centers for medicare and medicaid services (CMS) determines that the assessment imposed under section 5112.06 of the Revised Code is a permissible health care related tax. Whenever the Ohio department of job and family services is informed that the assessment is an impermissible health care-related tax, the department shall promptly refund to each hospital the amount of money currently in the hospital care assurance match fund that has been paid by the hospital, plus any investment earnings on that amount.

(B) Calculation of assessment amounts.

The calculations described in this rule will be based on cost-reporting data described in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code that reflect the most recent completed interim settled medicaid cost report (JFS 02930) for all hospitals. For non-medicaid participating hospitals, the calculations shall be based on the most recent as-filed medicare cost report.

The assessment is calculated as follows:

(1) Determine each hospital’s adjusted total facility costs as the amount calculated in paragraph (A)(18) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(2) For hospitals with adjusted total facility costs, as described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, that are less than or equal to $216,374,000, multiply the hospital’s adjusted total facility costs as described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule by 0.010338. The product will be each hospital’s assessment amount. For hospitals with adjusted total facility costs, as described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, that are greater than $216,374,000, multiply a factor of 0.010338 times the hospital’s adjusted total facility costs as described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, up to $216,374,000. Multiply a factor of 0.00738093 times the hospital’s adjusted total facility costs as described in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, that are in excess of $216,374,000. The sum of the two products will be each hospital’s assessment amount.

(3) The assessment amounts calculated in paragraph (B)(2) of this rule are subject to adjustment under the provisions of paragraph (D) of this rule.

The department may require governmental hospitals, as described in paragraph (A)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code, to make intergovernmental transfers each program year.

The department shall notify each governmental hospital of the amount of the intergovernmental transfer it is required to make during the program year.

Each governmental hospital shall make intergovernmental transfers in periodic installments, executed by electronic funds transfer.

(D) Notification and reconsideration procedures.

(1) The department shall mail by certified mail, return receipt requested, the results of the determinations made under paragraph (B) of this rule to each hospital. If no hospital submits a request for reconsideration as described in this rule, the preliminary determinations constitute the final reconciliation of the amounts that each hospital must pay under this rule.

(2) Not later than fourteen days after the department mails the preliminary determinations as described in paragraph (B) of this rule, any hospital may submit to the department a written request for reconsideration of the preliminary determination made under paragraph (B) of this rule. The request must be accompanied by written materials setting forth the basis for the reconsideration.

If one or more hospitals submit such a request, the department shall hold a public hearing in Columbus, Ohio not later than thirty days after the preliminary determinations have been mailed by the department for the purpose of reconsidering its preliminary determinations. The department shall mail written notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing to every hospital at least ten days before the date of the hearing.

On the basis of the evidence submitted to the department or presented at the public hearing, the department shall reconsider and may adjust the preliminary determinations. The result of the reconsideration is the final reconciliation of the amounts that each hospital must pay under the provisions of this rule.

(3) The department shall mail each hospital written notice of the amount it must pay under the final reconciliation as soon as practical. Any hospital may appeal the amount it must pay to the court of common pleas of Franklin county.

(4) In the course of any program year, the department may adjust the assessment rate defined in paragraph (B) of this rule or adjust the amount of the intergovernmental transfers required under paragraph (C) of this rule, and, as a result of the adjustment, adjust each hospital’s assessment and intergovernmental transfer, to reflect refinements made by the CMS during that program year.

The requirements of this rule apply as long as CMS determines that the assessment imposed under section 5112.06 of the Revised Code is a permissible health care related tax. Whenever the department of job and family services is informed that the assessment is an impermissible health care-related tax, the department shall promptly refund to each hospital the amount of money currently in the hospital care assurance program fund that has been paid by the hospital, plus any investment earnings on that amount.

(1) The calculations described in this rule will be based on cost-reporting data described in paragraph (B)(1) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(2) For new hospitals, the first available cost report filed with the department in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code will be used until a cost report that meets the requirements of this paragraph is available. If, for a new hospital, there is no available or valid cost report filed with the department, the hospital will be excluded until valid data is available. For hospitals that have changed ownership, the cost reporting data filed by the previous owner that reflects that hospital’s completed interim settled medicaid cost report and the cost reporting data filed by the new owner that reflects that hospital’s 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. Cost reports for hospitals involved in mergers during the program year that result in the hospitals using one provider number will be combined and annualized by the department to reflect one full year of operation.

(3) Closed hospitals with unique medicaid provider numbers.

For a hospital facility, identifiable to a unique medicaid provider number, that closes during the program year defined in paragraph (A) of rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code, the cost report data used shall be adjusted to reflect the portion of the year the hospital was open during the current program year. That partial year 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 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code, the cost report data from the original facility shall be used to determine the distribution to the new replacement facility if the following conditions are met:

(a) Both facilities have the same ownership,

(b) There is appropriate evidence to indicate that the new facility was constructed to replace the original facility,

(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) 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 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(D) Determination of indigent care pool.

(1) The “indigent care pool” means the sum of the following:

(a) The total assessments paid by all hospitals less the assessments deposited into the legislative budget services fund and the health care services administration fund described in rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(b) The total amount of intergovernmental transfers required to be made by governmental hospitals less the amount of transfers deposited into the legislative budget services fund and the health care services administration fund described in rule 5101:3-2-08 of the Administrative Code.

(c) The total amount of federal matching funds that will be made available to general acute care hospitals in the same program year as a result of the state’s disproportionate share limit payment allotment determined by the United States center for medicare and medicaid services (CMS) for that program year.

(2) The funds available in the indigent care pool shall be distributed through policy payment pools in paragraphs (E) to (I) of this rule. Policy payment pools shall be allocated a percentage of the indigent care pool as described in paragraphs (D)(2)(a) to (D)(2)(f) of this rule.

(a) High federal disproportionate share hospital pool: 7.92 per cent.

(b) Medicaid indigent care pool: 20.59 per cent.

(d) Uncompensated care for persons above one hundred per cent of poverty: 5.29 per cent.

(e) Critical access and rural hospitals: 3.16 per cent.

(f) Children’s hospitals: 1.34 per cent.

(E) Distribution of funds through the indigent care payment pools.

The funds are distributed among the hospitals according to indigent care payment pools described in paragraphs (E)(1) to (E)(3) of this rule.

(1) Hospitals meeting the high federal disproportionate share hospital definition described in paragraph (A)(15) of this rule shall receive funds from the high federal disproportionate share indigent care payment pool.

(b) For each hospital that meets the high federal disproportionate share definition, multiply the ratio calculated in paragraph (E)(1)(a) of this rule by the amount allocated in paragraph (D)(2)(a) of this rule to determine each hospital’s high federal disproportionate share hospital payment amount, subject to the following limitations:

(i) If the hospital’s payment amount calculated in paragraph (E)(1)(b) of this rule is greater than or equal to its hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, the hospital’s high federal disproportionate share hospital payment is the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28).

(ii) If the hospital’s payment amount calculated in (E)(1)(b) of this rule is less than its hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, the hospital’s high federal disproportionate share hospital payment is equal to the amount in paragraph (E)(1)(b) of this rule and any additional amount provided by paragraph (E)(1)(b)(iv) of this rule.

(iii) If the hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule is equal to or less than zero, the hospital’s high federal disproportionate share hospital payment is equal to zero.

(iv) If any hospital is limited as described in paragraph (E)(1)(b)(i) of this rule, calculate each hospital’s limitation by subtracting the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule from the amount determined in paragraph (E)(1)(b) of this rule and sum these amounts for all limited hospital(s). Make the sum of the limitation amounts available to the remaining hospitals in the pool by repeating the distribution described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule until all funds for this pool are expended.

(2) Hospitals shall receive funds from the medicaid indigent care payment pool.

(a) For each hospital, calculate medicaid shortfall by subtracting from total medicaid costs, as defined in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule, the total medicaid payments, as defined in paragraph (A)(16) of this rule.

(h) For each hospital, multiply the ratio calculated in paragraph (E)(2)(g) of this rule by the amount allocated in paragraph (D)(2)(b) of this rule to determine each hospital’s medicaid indigent care payment amount subject to the following limitations:

(i) If the sum of a hospital’s payment amounts calculated in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule is greater than or equal to its hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, the hospital’s medicaid indigent care payment pool amount is equal to zero.

(ii) If the sum of a hospital’s payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2)(h) of this rule is less than its hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, then the payment is equal to the amount in paragraph (E)(2)(h) of this rule and any amount provided by paragraph (E)(2)(h)(iv) of this rule.

(iii) If the sum of a hospital’s payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2)(h) of this rule is greater than its hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, then the payment is equal to the difference between the amount calculated in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule and the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule.

(iv) If any hospital is limited as described in paragraph (E)(2)(h)(iii) of this rule, calculate each hospital’s limitation by subtracting the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule from the amount determined in paragraph (E)(2)(h) of this rule and sum these amounts for all limited hospital(s). Make the sum of the limitation amounts available to the remaining hospitals in the pool by repeating the distribution described in paragraph (E)(2) of this rule until all funds for this pool are expended.

(v) For all hospitals, sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (E)(2)(h) of this rule. This amount is the hospital’s medicaid indigent payment amount.

(3) Hospitals shall receive funds from the disability assistance medical and uncompensated care indigent care payment pool.

(a) For each hospital, sum total disability assistance medical costs defined in paragraph (A)(11) of this rule and total uncompensated care costs under one hundred per cent defined in paragraph (A)(12) of this rule. For hospitals with total negative disability assistance and uncompensated care costs, the resulting sum is equal to zero.

(iii) If a hospital does not meet the condition described in paragraph (E)(3)(d)(i) of this rule, and the sum of its payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule and the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(3)(d) of this rule is greater than its hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, the hospital’s disability medical and uncompensated care under one hundred per cent payment amount is equal to the difference between the hospital’s disproportionate share limit and the sum of the payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of this rule.

(iv) If any hospital is limited as described in paragraph (E)(3)(d)(iii) of this rule, calculate each hospital’s limitation by subtracting the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule from the amount determined in paragraph (E)(3)(d) of this rule and sum these amounts for all limited hospital(s). Make the sum of the limitation amounts available to the remaining hospitals in the pool by repeating the distribution described in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule until all funds for this pool are expended or all unlimited hospitals have received one hundred per cent of the amount described in paragraph (E)(3)(a) of this rule.

(e) For all hospitals, sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (E)(3)(d) of this rule.

(f) For each hospital except those meeting either condition described in paragraph (E)(3)(d)(i) or (E)(3)(d)(iii) of this rule, multiply a factor of 0.30 by the hospital’s total uncompensated care costs above one hundred per cent without insurance, as described in paragraph (A)(13) of this rule.

If funds are available in accordance with paragraph (C) of this rule, the funds are distributed among the hospitals according to the county redistribution of closed hospitals payment pools described in paragraphs (G)(1) to (G)(3) of this rule.

(1) If a hospital facility that is identifiable to a unique medicaid provider number closes during the current program year, the payments that would have been made to that hospital under paragraphs (E), (F), (H), and (I) of this rule for the portion of the year it was closed, less any amounts that would have been paid by the closed hospital under provisions of rules 5101:3-2-08 and 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code for the portion of the year it was closed, shall be distributed to the remaining hospitals in the county where the closed hospital is located. If another hospital does not exist in such a county, the funds shall be distributed to hospitals in bordering counties within the state.

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 5101:3-2-08 and 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code, shall be distributed to the remaining hospitals in the county where the closed hospital was located. If another hospital does not exist in such a county, the funds shall be distributed to hospitals in bordering counties within the state.

If the closed hospital’s payments under paragraphs (E), (F), (H), and (I), of this rule does not result in a net gain, nothing shall be redistributed under paragraphs (G)(2) and (G)(3) of this rule.

(2) Redistribution of closed hospital funds within the county of closure.

(a) For each hospital within a county with a closed hospital as described in paragraph (G)(1) of this rule, sum the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(3)(a) of this rule, and the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(3)(f) of this rule if the sum of a hospital’s total payments calculated in paragraphs (E)(1), (E)(2), (E)(3), (F)(1), and (F)(2) of this rule does not exceed the hospital’s disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(b) For all hospitals within a county with a closed hospital, sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (G)(2)(a) of this rule.

(c) For each hospital within a county with a closed hospital, determine the ratio of the amounts in paragraphs (G)(2)(a) and (G)(2)(b) of this rule.

(d) For each hospital within a county with a closed hospital, multiply the ratio calculated in paragraph (G)(2)(c) of this rule, by the amount calculated in paragraph (G)(1) of this rule, to determine each hospital’s county redistribution of closed hospitals payment amount, subject to the following limitation:

If the sum of a hospital’s payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1), (E)(2), (E)(3)(d), (F)(1), and (F)(2) of this rule is less than the hospital’s disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, then the hospital’s redistribution of closed hospital funds amount is equal to the amount in paragraph (G)(2)(d) of this rule, not to exceed the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(3) Redistribution of closed hospital funds to hospitals in a bordering county.

(a) For each hospital within a county that borders a county with a closed hospital where another hospital does not exist, as described in paragraph (G)(1) of this rule, sum the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(3)(a) of this rule, and the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(3)(f) of this rule if the sum of a hospital’s total payments calculated in paragraphs (E)(1), (E)(2), (E)(3), (F)(1) and (F)(2) of this rule does not exceed the hospital’s disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(b) For all hospitals within counties that border a county with a closed hospital where another hospital does not exist, sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (G)(3)(a) of this rule.

(c) For each hospital within a county that borders a county with a closed hospital where another hospital does not exist, determine the ratio of the amounts in paragraphs (G)(3)(a) and (G)(3)(b) of this rule.

(d) For each hospital within a county that borders a county with a closed hospital where another hospital does not exist, multiply the ratio calculated in paragraph (G)(3)(c) of this rule, by the amount calculated in paragraph (G)(1) of this rule, to determine each hospital’s county redistribution of closed hospitals payment amount subject to the following limitation:

If the sum of a hospital’s payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1), (E)(2), (E)(3)(d), (F)(1), and (F)(2) of this rule is less than the hospital-specific disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, the hospital’s redistribution of closed hospital funds amount is the amount defined in paragraph (G)(3)(d) of this rule, not to exceed the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(H) Distribution of funds through the children’s hospital pool.

(1) For each hospital meeting the children’s hospital definition described in paragraph (A)(29) of this rule, sum the payment amounts as calculated in paragraphs (E), (F), and (G) of this rule. This is the hospital’s calculated payment amount.

(2) For each hospital meeting the children’s hospital definition described in paragraph (A)(29) of this rule, with a calculated payment amount that is not greater than the disproportionate share limit, as described in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, subtract the amount in paragraph (H)(1) of this rule from the amount in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(3) For hospitals meeting the children’s hospital definition described in paragraph (A)(29) of this rule, with calculated payment amounts that are not greater than the disproportionate share limit, sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (H)(2) of this rule.

This amount is the children’s hospital payment pool payment amount, subject to the following limitation.

If the sum of the hospital’s payment amounts calculated in paragraphs (E)(1), (E)(2), (E)(3)(d), (F)(1), (F)(2), and (G) of this rule is less than the hospital’s disproportionate share limit defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule, then the hospital’s children’s hospital pool payment amount is equal to the amount calculated in paragraph (H)(5) of this rule, not to exceed the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

If any hospital is limited as described in paragraph (H)(5) of this rule, calculate each hospital’s limitation by subtracting the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule from the amount determined in paragraph (H)(5) of this rule and sum these amounts for all limited hospital(s). Make the sum of the limitation amounts available to the remaining hospitals in the pool by repeating the distribution described in paragraph (H) of this rule until all funds for this pool are expended.

(I) Distribution model adjustments and limitations through the statewide residual pool.

(1) For each hospital, sum the payment amounts as calculated in paragraphs (E), (F), (G), and (H), of this rule. This is the hospital’s calculated payment amount.

(2) For each hospital, calculate the hospital’s specific disproportionate share limit as defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(3) For each hospital, subtract the hospital’s disproportionate share limit as calculated in paragraph (I)(2) of this rule from the payment amount as calculated in paragraph (I)(1) of this rule to determine if a hospital’s calculated payment 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 (J)(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 (J)(4) minus the sum of the lessor of each hospital’s calculated payment amount calculated in (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.

(a) For each hospital with a calculated payment amount that is not greater than the disproportionate share limit, as described in paragraph (I)(4) of this rule, subtract the amount in paragraph (I)(1) of this rule from the amount in paragraph (I)(2) of this rule.

(b) For hospitals with calculated payment amounts that are not greater than the disproportionate share limit, sum the amounts calculated in paragraph (I)(5)(a) of this rule.

(c) For each hospital with a calculated payment amount that is not greater than the disproportionate share limit, determine the ratio of the amounts in paragraphs (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)(5)(b) of this rule. This amount is the hospital’s statewide residual payment pool payment amount subject to the following limitation:

If the amount 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)(28) of this rule, then hospital’s residual pool payment amount is equal to the amount defined in paragraph (I)(5)(d) of this rule, not to exceed the amount defined in paragraph (A)(28) of this rule.

(J) Payments and adjustments.

(1) Every hospital that must make payments of assessments and/or intergovernmental transfers to the department of job and family services under the provisions of rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code shall make the payments in accordance with the payment schedule as described in this rule. If the final determination that the 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 (C) and (D) of rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code, all payments of assessments and intergovernmental transfers, when applicable, from hospitals under rule 5101:3-2-08 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 (J)(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 5112.01 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 (J)(2) of this rule and the hospital care assurance match fund described in paragraph (J)(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 5101:3-2-08.1 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;

(d) The payment made to hospitals does not exceed the hospital’s disproportionate share limit as calculated in paragraph (D) of rule 5101:3-2-07.5 of the Administrative Code.

(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 (J)(6)(a) of this rule shall be made from the hospital care assurance program fund. Amounts recovered under paragraph (J)(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 (J)(6)(a) of this rule or the amount to be recovered from the hospital under paragraph (J)(6)(b) of this rule to the court of common pleas of Franklin county.

(K) Confidentiality.

(L) Penalties for failure to report or make payment.

(1) Any hospital that fails to report the information required under this rule and under paragraph (A) of rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code on or before the dates specified in this rule and in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code shall be fined one thousand dollars for each day after the due date that the information is not reported.

(2) In addition to any other remedy available to the department under law to collect unpaid assessments and transfers, any hospital that fails to make payments of the assessments and intergovernmental transfers to the department of job and family services on or before the dates specified in this rule or under any schedule for delayed payments established under paragraph (J)(1) of this rule shall be fined one thousand dollars for each day after the due date.

(3) The director of job and family services shall waive the penalties provided for in paragraphs (L)(1) and (L)(2) of this rule for good cause shown by the hospital.

(M) Payment schedule.

The assessments, intergovernmental transfers and payments made under the provisions of this rule will be made in installments.

(1) On or before the fourteenth day after the department mails the final determination as described in rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code, the hospital must submit its first assessment to the department.

All subsequent assessments and intergovernmental transfers, when applicable, must be made on or before the fifth day after the date on the warrant or electronic funds transfer (EFT) issued as payment by the department as described in paragraph (M)(2) of this rule.

(a) Beginning in the program year that ends in calendar year 2006, and each year thereafter, each hospital shall submit its assessment amount to the Ohio department of job and family services via electronic funds transfer.

(2) On or before the tenth day after the departments deadline for receiving assessments and intergovernmental transfers, the department must make a payment to each hospital. However, the department shall make no payment to any hospital that has not paid assessments or made intergovernmental transfers that are due until the assessments and transfers are paid in full or a final determination regarding amounts to be paid is made under any request for reconsideration or appeal.

(3) If a hospital closes after the date of the public hearing held in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-08.1 of the Administrative Code, and before the last payment is made, as described in this paragraph, the payments to the remaining hospitals will be adjusted in accordance with paragraphs (E) to (J)(7) of this rule.

This rule is applicable for each program year for all medicaid-participating psychiatric hospitals as described in paragraphs (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) of rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code.

(A) Definitions.

(1) “Inpatient days” means for each psychiatric hospital the number of inpatient hospital days as reported in JFS 02930, for the applicable state fiscal year, schedule C, column 4.

(2) “Insurance revenues” are reported on JFS 02930, schedule F, section II, column 1, line 24 and mean for each psychiatric hospital the revenues received in the same twelve months of the hospital’s cost-reporting period for inpatient services provided to, billed to, and received from all sources other than medicaid or self-pay revenues as described in paragraph (A)(4) of this rule.

(3) “Medicaid inpatient utilization rate” means for each psychiatric hospital the ratio of the hospital’s number of inpatient days attributable to patients who were eligible for medical assistance as described in paragraph (A)(6) of this rule divided by the hospital’s total inpatient days as described in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule.

(4) “Self-pay revenues” means for each psychiatric hospital the revenues received in the same twelve months of the hospital’s cost-reporting period for inpatient services provided to, billed to, and received from either the person that received inpatient services or the family of the person that received inpatient services as reported on JFS 02930, schedule F, column 2, line 24.

(5) “Total inpatient allowable costs” for each psychiatric hospital means the sum of the general service and capital related costs for inpatient hospital services reported in JFS 02930 schedule B, column 7.

(6) “Total medicaid days” for each psychiatric hospital means the sum of the amounts reported on JFS 02930, schedule F, section II, columns 6 and 8, line 24. For hospitals meeting the conditions set forth in paragraphs (E) and (F) of rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code, total medicaid days means the sum of the amounts reported on JFS 02930, schedule F, section II, columns 6 to 8, line 24.

(7) “Total medicaid revenues” for each psychiatric hospital means the amount reported on JFS 02930, schedule H, section I, column 1, line 7.

(8) “Uncompensated care costs” means for each psychiatric hospital the total inpatient allowable costs as described in paragraph (A)(5) of this rule less total facility revenue as described in paragraph (A)(12) of this rule less the uncompensated care costs rendered to patients with insurance for the services provided as described in paragraph (A)(9) of this rule.

(9) “Uncompensated care costs rendered to patients with insurance” means the costs for an individual that has insurance coverage for the service provided, but the full cost of the service was not reimbursed because of per diem caps or coverage limitations as reported on JFS 02930, schedule F, section II, column 5, line 24.

(2) A low-income utilization rate in excess of twenty-five per cent, where the low-income utilization rate, the fraction expressed as a percentage, is the sum of:

(a) The sum of total medicaid revenues as described in paragraph (A)(7) of this rule, for inpatient services and cash subsidies for inpatient services received directly from state and local governments as described in paragraph (A)(13) of this rule, divided by the sum of total facility inpatient revenues as described in paragraph (A)(12) of this rule, and cash subsidies for inpatient services received directly from state and local governments as described in paragraph (A)(13) of this rule, plus

(b) Total charges for inpatient services for charity care as described in paragraph (A)(10) of this rule (less cash subsidies above, and not including contractual allowances and discounts other than for indigent patients ineligible for medicaid) divided by the total charges for inpatient services, as described in paragraph (A)(11) of this rule.

(3) A medicaid inpatient utilization rate as described in paragraph (A)(3) of this rule greater than or equal to one per cent.

(E) Determination of hospital disproportionate share groupings for payment distribution.

An invoice encompassing more than one date of service is referred to in this rule as a “cycle bill.”

(2) Outpatient claim.

An “outpatient claim” is defined as those outpatient services rendered to one eligible medicaid recipient on one date of service. In the instance of “cycle bills,” as indicated in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, more than one claim may appear on an invoice.

(3) Procedure code.

In this rule, a “procedure code” refers to the current procedural terminology (CPT) codes and healthcare common procedure coding system (HCPCS) as defined in rule 5101:3-1-19.3 of the Administrative Code. Guidelines and definitions for level of care determinations and for new and established patient definitions are as published in the CPT and HCPCS volumes. Applicable HCPCS modifiers are listed in appendix A to this rule.

(a) CPT codes 92004 and 92014 for vision services are covered for eligible medicaid recipients, and must be billed with HCPCS modifier -UB, as listed in appendix A to this rule, to indicate medicaid recipients who are age twenty or younger or sixty or older.

(4) Revenue center codes.

“Revenue center codes”, as referenced in this rule, are as listed in appendix A to rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code.

The provisions of this rule are effective for claims associated with outpatient hospital services delivered on or after the effective date of this rule.

All outpatient services must be billed in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-1 of the Administrative Code. All revenue centers listed in appendix B to this rule require CPT or HCPCS coding. Additionally, a date of service is required on each line of the invoice for each service rendered. A diagnosis code(s) indicating the reasons for the outpatient treatment is required on each invoice. All physician, home health, and other professional services must continue to be billed separately.

(D) Dialysis service claims.

A dialysis service claim is identified by the presence of a CPT code in the range 90918 through 90999.

Dialysis services will be paid according to the fee schedule in appendix F to this rule. Radiology, pregnancy, and laboratory services will continue to be paid in accordance with paragraph (I) and appendix F to this rule and appendix DD to rule 5101:3-1-60 of the Administrative Code. IV therapy will be paid in accordance with paragraph (G)(2)(e) of this rule and ancillary services will be paid in accordance with paragraph (J) of this rule.

(E) Chemotherapy service claims.

A chemotherapy service claim is identified by the presence of a CPT code in the range 96400 through 96549, excluding codes 96521, 96522, and 96523. Except for radiology services that will be paid in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule, pregnancy services that will be paid in accordance with appendix F to this rule, and laboratory services that will be paid in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-11 of the Administrative Code, allowable charges submitted on chemotherapy service claims will be paid by multiplying those charges by the hospital’s medicaid outpatient per cent. The medicaid outpatient per cent is the per cent described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(F) Outpatient surgical service claims.

(1) Surgical service billing requirements.

An “outpatient surgical service claim” is a claim that does not include chemotherapy, or emergency room codes modified by modifier -22 (as described in paragraphs (E) and (H)(1) of this rule) and that carries a CPT code that is in the range 10021-69990 or HCPCS code G0392 or G0393, and that is also listed in appendix C to this rule as a grouped outpatient surgical code.

If a claim is submitted that carries a CPT code that is in the range 10021-69990 that is not a grouped outpatient surgical code because the procedure is primarily performed on an inpatient basis, the claim will be paid either a per cent of charges, to be determined by the medicaid outpatient per cent described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code, or zero dollars. Claims that are paid zero dollars must be submitted hard copy and the reimbursement amount will be determined by the department on a case-by-case basis. Claims for outpatient surgery services must include all outpatient services performed on that date of service.

(2) Surgical services claims payment.

(a) Unlisted surgical procedures.

A surgical procedure is defined as “unlisted” if the CPT code ends in “99” and is defined as an “unlisted procedure” in the description or is surgical CPT code number 23929, 26989, 37501, 38589, 43289, 43659, 44238, 44979, 47379, 47579, 49329, 49659, 50549, 50949, 55559, 58578, 58579, 58679, 59897, 59898, 60659, 69949, or 69979.

When a surgical service claim carries an unlisted surgical procedure code, line item charges on the claim, except for those line items that carry radiology CPT codes (70010-79999), pregnancy codes, or laboratory CPT codes (80047-89399), will be paid by multiplying .69 times the line item charges. Radiology service line items will be paid in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule, pregnancy service line items will be paid in accordance with appendix F to this rule, and laboratory service line items will be paid in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-11 of the Administrative Code.

(b) Surgical procedure codes that are not unlisted.

(i) When a claim carries a CPT surgery code and no unlisted surgical procedures, the claim will be assigned to a surgical grouping. If a hospital is a children’s hospital as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, surgeries will be reimbursed in accordance with the level 1 surgical group rates shown in appendix C to this rule. Payments for surgeries for all other hospitals subject to this rule, that are not children’s hospitals, will be in accordance with the level 2 surgical group rate shown in appendix C to this rule. If the claim includes one surgical CPT code, payment will be based upon the surgical payment rate of the group listed in appendix C to this rule to which that CPT code is assigned.

If the claim includes two or more surgical procedure codes that are not identical, payment will be based on one hundred per cent of the surgical payment rate of the highest group listed in appendix C to this rule to which one of the surgical CPT procedure codes is assigned. Additional payment will be made by multiplying .50 times the surgical payment rate of the group(s) to which the other surgical CPT code(s) is(are) assigned.

If the claim includes identical surgical procedure codes, and the identical codes occur in conjunction with the same revenue center code, payment for the first surgery will be based on one hundred per cent of the surgical payment rate of the group to which that CPT code is assigned. Each additional occurrence of that identical surgical procedure code will be reimbursed by multiplying .50 times the group payment rate.

If the claim includes identical surgical CPT codes but those codes are not in conjunction with identical revenue center codes or if those CPT codes represent procedures that would not be performed more than one time on the same patient on the same day, no surgical group payments in addition to the one payment of one hundred per cent of the group rate will be made.

The payment rates shown in appendix C to this rule represent payment in full for all services performed in conjunction with outpatient surgery except for radiology, pregnancy, laboratory services and observation services. Radiology service line items will be paid in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule, pregnancy service line items will be paid in accordance with appendix F to this rule, and laboratory service line items will be paid in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-11 of the Administrative Code, and observation services will be paid in accordance with appendix F to this rule.

(ii) Surgical claim edits.

Surgical CPT codes that include the administration of anesthesia in the description of that CPT code will only be reimbursed when an anesthesia CPT code in the range 00100-01999 is also coded on the claim. These surgical CPT codes that must be used in conjunction with an anesthesia code are identified in appendix C to this rule.

Certain surgical CPT codes will be reimbursed only when they appear on a claim that contains no other CPT codes in the surgery range. The CPT codes that must appear alone for reimbursement are those in the surgical range that are usually performed as part of another surgery. These codes are identified in appendix C to this rule. Certain surgical CPT codes will only be reimbursed if a prior authorization number is obtained from the department in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-03 of the Administrative Code. These codes are identified in appendix C to this rule.

(3) Canceled surgeries.

It is the intent of the department to reimburse hospitals for canceled surgeries that are the result of medical complications arising after the patient is in the operating room.

To qualify for payment for a canceled surgery, the invoice must carry the occurrence code established to report the scheduled date of the canceled surgery and the CPT code for the surgery must be modified by the CPT modifier -73 or -74, as listed in appendix A to this rule, to report the canceled surgery.

If the code indicating that medical complications arose after patient prepping but before anesthesia is used, the payment will be based upon fifty per cent of the scheduled surgery group payment rate. If the code indicating that medical complications arose after anesthesia was induced is used, payment will be based upon one hundred per cent of the scheduled surgery group payment rate.

If a multiple surgery had been scheduled, the appropriate percentage (fifty or one hundred per cent) will be applied to the highest surgery payment group to which the scheduled surgery codes are assigned. Unlisted surgical procedures, when used to bill a canceled surgery, must be billed hard copy with a description of the surgical procedure(s) that were canceled. These unlisted canceled surgeries will be reviewed by the department and the reimbursement amount will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

(G) Clinic service claims.

(1) Clinic service billing requirements.

A claim is identified as a “clinic claim” if it carries one of the clinic visit codes listed in appendix D to this rule and does not include dialysis, chemotherapy, or surgical services as described in paragraphs (D), (E), and (F) of this rule.

More than one clinic visit per recipient, per provider, per day is permissible and reimbursable if each clinic visit occurs in a distinct and separate clinic or if the patient visits the clinic, leaves the hospital, and subsequently returns on the same date of service. If the patient had a clinic visit on the same day as a visit to the emergency room of the same hospital, the emergency room visit may also qualify for payment as listed in appendix E to this rule.

(2) Clinic service claim payment.

Payments for clinic visits will be made in accordance with the fees listed in appendix D to this rule. If a hospital is a teaching hospital or a children’s hospital as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, clinic visits will be reimbursed in accordance with the level 1 clinic visit fee schedule shown in appendix D to this rule. Payments for clinic visits for all other hospitals subject to this rule will be in accordance with the level 2 clinic visit fee schedule shown in appendix D to this rule. Payments for clinic visits represent payment in full except for the additional payments that may be made for services described in paragraphs (G)(2)(a) to (G)(2)(f) of this rule.

(a) Additional payments may be made for ancillary services listed in appendix F to this rule.

(b) Additional payments may be made for laboratory services in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-11 of the Administrative Code.

(d) Additional payments may be made for emergency room visits in accordance with appendix E to this rule.

(e) For dates of service on or after January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006: Additional payments will be made for charges listed in the line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present when the claim carries IV therapy HCPCS code C8950, C8951, or C8952. These additional payments will be calculated by multiplying .65 times the charges listed in those line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present.

For dates of service on or after January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008: Additional payments will be made for charges listed in line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present when the claim carries IV therapy CPT code 90765, 90766, 90767, or 90768. These additional payments will be calculated by multiplying .65 times the charges listed in those line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present.

For dates of service on or after January 1, 2009: Additional payments will be made for charges listed in line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present when the claim carries IV therapy CPT code 96365, 96366, 96367, or 96368. These additional payments will be calculated by multiplying .65 times the charges listed in those line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present.

(f) Additional payments may be made for pregnancy services in accordance with appendix F to this rule.

(H) Emergency room visit claims.

(1) Emergency room visit billing requirements.

(a) A claim is identified as an “emergency room visit claim” if it carries one of the emergency room visit codes listed in appendix E to this rule and does not include dialysis, chemotherapy, surgical, or clinic services as described in paragraphs (D), (E), (F), and (G) of this rule.

(b) More than one emergency room visit per recipient, per provider, per day is permissible and reimbursable if the patient visits the emergency room, leaves the hospital, and subsequently returns to the emergency room on the same date of service.

(c) If the service provided is greater than that usually required for the emergency room procedure because the procedure involved stabilizing a patient in a life-threatening condition prior to transferring the patient to another hospital or if the patient died in the emergency room following treatment or resuscitation efforts, the emergency room procedure code should be modified by the CPT modifier -22. This modifier is not to be used when the hospital does not provide active treatment for the patient (for example, when a patient does not require stabilization prior to transfer or when a patient dies prior to treatment or resuscitation efforts being made).

(2) Emergency room claim payment.

Payments for emergency room procedure codes with CPT modifier -22 will be made by multiplying claim charges, except for charges for radiology, pregnancy, and laboratory services, by the hospital’s medicaid outpatient per cent. The medicaid outpatient per cent is the per cent described in paragraph (B)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code. Radiology services reported on those claims will be paid in accordance with paragraph (I) of this rule, and pregnancy services reported on those claims will be paid in accordance with appendix F to this rule, laboratory services reported on those claims will be paid in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-11 of the Administrative Code.

Payment for other emergency room visits will be made in accordance with the fee schedule listed in appendix E to this rule. If a hospital is a teaching hospital, as defined in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, payments for emergency room visits will be made in accordance with the level 1 emergency room fee schedule listed in appendix E to this rule. If a hospital is a children’s hospital, as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.2 of the Administrative Code, emergency room visits will be reimbursed in accordance with the level 2 emergency room visit fee schedule shown in appendix E to this rule.

Payments for emergency room visits for all other hospitals subject to this rule will be made in accordance with the level 3 emergency room visit fee schedule shown in appendix E to this rule. Payments for emergency room visits represent payment-in-full except for the additional payments which may be made for services described in paragraphs (H)(2)(a) to (H)(2)(e) of this rule.

(a) Additional payments may be made for ancillary services listed in appendix F to this rule.

(b) Additional payments may be made for laboratory services in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-11 of the Administrative Code.

(d) For dates of service on or after January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006: Additional payments will be made for charges listed in the line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present when the claim carries IV therapy HCPCS code C8950, C8951, or C8952. These additional payments will be calculated by multiplying .65 times the charges listed in those line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present.

For dates of service on or after January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008: Additional payments will be made for charges listed in line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present when the claim carries IV therapy CPT code 90765, 90766, 90767, or 90768. These additional payments will be calculated by multiplying .65 times the charges listed in the line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present.

For dates of service on or after January 1, 2009: Additional payments will be made for charges listed in line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present when the claim carries IV therapy CPT code 96365, 96366, 96367, or 96368. These additional payments will be calculated by multiplying .65 times the charges listed in the line items that carry revenue center code 025X with no CPT code present.

(e) Additional payment may be made for pregnancy services in accordance with appendix F to this rule.

(I) Radiology services.

Payments for radiology services will be made in accordance with the fee schedule listed in appendix G to this rule. Reimbursement for outpatient hospital radiology services shall be the lower of charges or the payment amounts in the outpatient hospital radiology fee schedule as published in appendix G to this rule.

(J) Ancillary services.

As of October 1, 1994, designated free vaccines, as listed in rule 5101:3-4-12 of the Administrative Code, shall include all immunizations covered under the federal “Vaccines for Children” (VFC) program. All designated free vaccines and nondesignated vaccines shall be administered in accordance with the requirements described in rule 5101:3-4-12 of the Administrative Code.

Payments for ancillary services, including designated free vaccines and nondesignated vaccines, listed in appendix F to this rule will be made in accordance with appendix F to this rule if the listed codes appear on a claim that does not include chemotherapy, surgery services, or emergency room procedure codes with CPT modifier -22 as described in paragraphs (E), (F), and (H)(1) of this rule. Reimbursement for all immunizations covered under the VFC program will be five dollars for individuals eighteen years of age or younger.

5101:3-2-21.2 Consumer co-payments for non-emergency emergency department services.

(A) This rule establishes a consumer co-payment for non-emergency emergency department services as authorized by section 5111.0112 of the Revised Code. The provisions in this rule do not apply to consumers enrolled in the medicaid managed health care program.

(B) Definitions.

(1) “Emergency medical condition” means a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that a prudent lay person, as defined in paragraph (B)(2) of this rule, could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: placing the health of the individual (or, with respect to a pregnant woman, the health of her unborn child) in serious jeopardy; serious impairment to bodily functions; or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part.

(2) “Prudent lay person” means a person with an average knowledge of health and medicine to determine, within reason, that emergency services are necessary.

(3) “Non-emergency emergency department service” means an emergency department service that does not meet the definition of emergency medical condition, as defined in paragraph (B)(1) of this rule.

For dates of service on or after January 1, 2006, medicaid consumers shall pay a co-payment equal to three dollars for non-emergency emergency department services, as defined in paragraph (B)(3) of this rule, except as excluded in paragraphs (D) and (E) of this rule. Hospital providers shall report, through claim submission, the applicable co-payment to the department in accordance with hospital billing instructions.

(D) Exclusions and additional limitations to the co-payment requirement for non-emergency care provided in an emergency department are in accordance with rule 5101:3-1-09 of the Administrative Code, except as provided in paragraph (E) of this rule.

(E) A hospital may take action to collect a co-payment by providing, at the time services are rendered to a medicaid recipient, notice that a co-payment may be owed. If the hospital provides the notice and chooses not to take further action to pursue collection of the co-payment, the prohibition against waiving co-payments, as described in paragraph (B)(3) of rule 5101:3-1-09 of the Administrative Code, does not apply.

(F) Reimbursement for services subject to the co-payment for non-emergency emergency department services. The department shall reimburse the emergency department claim the allowable medicaid payment, in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code, minus the applicable co-payment as described in paragraph (C) of this rule and any third party resources available to the patient, in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-25 of the Administrative Code.

5101:3-2-22 Reasonable cost and cost-related reimbursement for hospital services.

(A) Applicability.

(1) Reasonable cost reimbursement where interim payments are made to approximate cost based on a historical cost-to-charge ratio, and where reasonable costs actually incurred during a period are subsequently reconciled to interim payments applies to:

(a) All outpatient hospital services provided by non-Ohio hospitals excluded from inpatient prospective payment as set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code which file the JFS 02930 cost report.

(b) All outpatient hospital services provided by Ohio hospitals excluded from inpatient prospective payment as set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code.

(c) Inpatient services provided by hospitals excluded from prospective payment as set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code.

(d) Certain transplant services excluded from prospective payment under the conditions described in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code.

(e) Inpatient capital-related costs as set forth in rule 5101:3-2-7.6.

(2) Cost-related reimbursement where interim payments are made to approximate cost based on a historical cost-to-charge ratio but where no subsequent reconciliation occurs applies to:

(a) Outpatient hospital services provided by non-Ohio hospitals excluded from inpatient prospective payment as set forth in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code which do not file the JFS 02930 cost-report.

(b) Certain outpatient hospital services as defined in paragraphs (D), (E), and (H)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code.

(c) Payment for extraordinary outlier cases described in paragraph (A)(7) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code. Except that a hospital may request that interim payments for these cases as described in paragraph (B)(2) of this rule be adjusted subsequent to claim payment to reflect the hospital’s medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio calculated using cost-report data from the hospital’s fiscal year period during which services were provided.

(d) Payments for cost outlier cases as described in paragraph (C) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code, for discharges on or after September 3, 1991.

(B) Payments under reasonable cost reimbursement and cost-related reimbursement.

(1) For hospital services subject to reasonable cost reimbursement, providers will receive an interim payment as described in paragraph (B)(2) of this rule. These interim payments will be reconciled to the lower of reasonable cost incurred on behalf of medicaid recipients during the time period or total allowed charges for medicaid recipients during the time period.

(2) Interim payments for services subject to both reasonable cost and cost-related reimbursement are made by applying a historic cost-to-charge ratio to hospital allowed charges.

(a) For outpatient services, the ratio used is medicaid outpatient costs as reported on JFS 02930, schedule H, section II divided by medicaid outpatient charges as reported on JFS 02930, schedule H, section II. For inpatient hospital services, the ratio used is medicaid inpatient costs, as reported on the JFS 02930, schedule H, section I, divided by medicaid inpatient charges as reported on the JFS 02930, schedule H, section I.

(b) For those hospitals which do not file the JFS 02930 cost-report, the ratio used is the statewide average. For outpatient services, the ratio used is the sum of medicaid outpatient costs as reported on JFS 02930, schedule H, section II for all Ohio hospitals, divided by the sum of medicaid outpatient charges as reported on JFS 02930, schedule H, section II for all Ohio hospitals. For inpatient hospitals services, the ratio used is the sum of medicaid inpatient costs as reported on the JFS 02930, schedule H, section I for all Ohio hospitals, divided by the sum of medicaid inpatient charges as reported on the JFS 02930, schedule H, section I for all Ohio hospitals.

(c) The ratio used for an interim claim payment will be the ratio that is operational in the claims processing system on the date the claim is paid. The ratios which are operational during a prospective rate year in the claims processing system reflect data from each hospital’s cost-report filed with the department during the calendar year proceeding the year during which the prospective rate year begins.

(C) In general, reasonable cost reimbursement recognizes costs that are reasonable and allowable under Title XVIII standards and principles described in 42 CFR 413.1 through 413.40 effective October 1, 2003, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. These Title XVIII standards and principles are applicable to those covered inpatient and outpatient hospital services as identified in Chapter 5101:3-2 of the Administrative Code which are subject to reasonable cost reimbursement as described in this rule.

(1) The costs identified in paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(F) of this rule are nonallowable.

(a) Cost of goods or services furnished free, by the hospital, or at less than fair market value. For example, the cost of office space or hospital employee time used to prepare physician invoices for physicians who invoice the department on a fee-for-service basis.

(b) Cost of services not reimbursable due to not having been billed timely as defined in rule 5101:3-1-19.3 of the Administrative Code.

(c) Cost of services which would be or are covered by a third-party payer as described in rule 5101:3-1-08 of the Administrative Code.

(d) The amount of any interest expense for money borrowed to alleviate cash flow problems resulting from rate reductions imposed for delinquent filing of cost reports as provided in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code.

(e) The amount of any interest on overpayments and any interest expense for money borrowed to alleviate cash flow problems resulting from an interest assessment as defined in rule 5101:3-1-25 of the Administrative Code.

(f) Costs which exceed limits described in 42 CFR 413.30 effective October 1, 2003 except that the department may exempt certain facilities from these limits as described in 42 CFR 413.30. The determinations to exempt facilities according to 42 CFR 413.30 will be made during the final settlement process.

(2) Provisions of Title XVIII related to prospective payment for inpatient hospital services as described in 42 CFR 412.1 through 412.125 effective October 1, 2003 are not applicable to hospital services reimbursed under the provisions of this rule. Hospital services described in this rule are reimbursed under the provisions described in paragraphs (C) to (C)(1)(f) of this rule except in instances when those regulations have been altered to accommodate the Title XVIII prospective payment system

(D) Organ acquisition and transportation costs for heart, heart/lung, liver, pancreas, single/double lung, and liver/small bowel transplant services will be reimbursed at one hundred per cent of billed charges.

(E) For harvesting costs for bone marrow transplant services, the prospective payment amount will be either:

(1) The DRG amount as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code if the donor is a medicaid recipient or if the bone marrow transplant is autologous.

(2) The product of the allowed charges times the hospital-specific, medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio as described in paragraph (B)(2) of this rule, if the donor is not a medicaid recipient.

5101:3-2-23 Cost reports.

(A) For cost-reporting purposes, the medicaid program requires each eligible provider, as defined in rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code, to submit periodic reports that generally cover a consecutive twelve-month period of the provider’s operations. Cost reports must be filed within one hundred eighty days of the end of the hospital’s cost-reporting year. Extensions of this one hundred eighty day period shall be granted if the centers for medicare and medicaid services (CMS) of the United States department of health and human services extends the date by which the hospital must submit its cost report for the hospital’s cost-reporting period. Failure to submit all necessary items and schedules will only delay processing and may result in a reduction of payment or termination as a provider as described in paragraph (H) of this rule.

Effective for medicaid cost reports filed for cost-reporting periods ending in state fiscal year (SFY) 2003, and each cost-reporting period thereafter, any hospital that fails to submit cost reports on or before the dates specified by ODJFS shall be fined one thousand dollars for each day after the due date that the information is not reported.

The hospital shall complete and submit the JFS 02930 “Hospital Cost Report” in accordance with instructions contained in this rule. The JFS 02930 (rev. 3/2008) for SFY 2008 and its instructions are shown in the appendix to this rule. The hospital’s cost report must:

(1) Be prepared in accordance with medicare principles governing reasonable cost reimbursement set forth in the providers’ reimbursement manual “CMS Publications 15, 15-1 and 15-2,” available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Manuals/PBM/list.asp#TopOfPage dated September 8, 2005.

(2) Include all information necessary for the proper determination of costs payable under medicaid, including financial records and statistical data.

(3) Be submitted in accordance with the instructions in the appendix to this rule an electronic copy of the medicare cost report, which must be identical in all respects to the cost report submitted to the medicare fiscal intermediary.

(4) Include the cost report certification executed by an officer of the hospital attesting to the accuracy of the cost report and to the accuracy of the OBRA survey. In addition, all subsequent revisions to the cost report must include an executed certification.

(5) Effective for medicaid cost reports filed for cost-reporting periods ending in SFY 2003, and each cost-reporting period thereafter, the executed certification shall require the officer of the hospital to acknowledge that an independent party, a certified public accountant, has successfully verified the data reported on “Schedule F” of the cost report in accordance with the procedures included in the cost report instructions. In addition, all subsequent revisions to “Schedule F” shall also be successfully verified by an independent, certified public accountant in accordance with the recertification procedures included in the cost report instructions.

(B) Hospitals having a distinct part psychiatric or rehabilitation unit recognized by medicare in accordance with the provisions of 42 C.F.R. 412.25 effective October 1, 2006, 42 C.F.R. 412.27 effective July 1, 2006, and 42 C.F.R. 412.29 effective January 1, 2005, must identify distinct part unit costs separately within the cost report as described in paragraph (A) of this rule.

(C) Ohio hospitals performing transplant services covered under medicaid as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code must identify transplant costs, charges, days, and discharges separately within the cost report as described in paragraph (A) of this rule.

(D) Ohio hospitals performing ambulatory surgery within the hospital outpatient setting must identify ambulatory surgery costs and charges separately within the cost report as described in paragraph (A) of this rule.

(E) Ohio hospitals providing services to medicaid managed care plan (MCP) enrollees must identify MCP costs, charges and payments separately within the cost report as described in paragraph (A) of this rule.

(F) It is not necessary for the hospital to wait for the medicare (Title XVIII) audit in order to file the initial cost report for the stated time period. The interim cost report filing can be audited by the ODJFS prior to any applicable final adjustment and settlement. If an amount is due ODJFS as a result of the filing, payment must be forwarded, in accordance with the instructions in the appendix to this rule, at the time the cost report is submitted for it to be considered a complete filing. Any revised interim cost report must be received within thirty days of the provider’s receipt of the interim cost settlement. A desk audit will be performed by the hospital audit section on all as filed and interim cost reports. An interim cost settlement by ODJFS does not preclude the finding of additional cost exceptions in a final settlement for the same cost-reporting period.

(1) If an amended medicare cost report is filed with the medicare fiscal intermediary, a copy of the amended medicare cost report must be filed with the hospital audit section. Information contained in the amended medicare cost report will be incorporated into the interim cost report, as originally filed, if received prior to interim settlement; otherwise, it is subject to the provisions of paragraph (F) of this rule.

(2) Adjustments may be made to the interim cost report as described in rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code.

(G) Out-of-state providers that are not paid on a prospective payment basis and provide inpatient and/or outpatient services to eligible Ohio Title XIX recipients will be required to file the cost report identified in this rule.

(H) Hospitals that fail to submit cost reports timely as defined in paragraph (A) of this rule will receive a delinquency letter from the ODJFS and are subject to notification that thirty days following the date on which the cost report was due, payments for hospital services will be suspended. Suspension of payments will be terminated on the fifth working day following receipt of the delinquent cost report. Claims affected by suspension of payment are not considered to be clean claims as “clean claims” are defined in rule 5101:3-1-19.3 of the Administrative Code. At the beginning of the third month following the month in which the hospital cost report became overdue, if the cost report has not yet been submitted, termination of the provider from the program will be recommended in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-1 of the Administrative Code.

5101:3-2-24 Audits.

(A) General provisions.

(1) Audits will be conducted by the Ohio department of job and family services (herein referred to as the department) for services rendered by the hospital under the medicaid program. The examination of hospital costs and charges will be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards necessary to fulfill the scope of the audit. To facilitate this examination, providers are required to make available all records necessary to fully disclose the extent of services provided to program recipients, the corresponding costs and charges made and payments received for such services, and the provider’s audited financial statement for the period corresponding to the cost-reporting period. The principle objective of the audit is to enable the department to determine that payment has been, or will be made, in accordance with federal/state and department requirements. Based on the audit, adjustments in payments to the provider will be made as required by provisions of this rule. Records necessary to fully disclose the extent of services provided must be maintained for a period of six years or, if an audit has been initiated, until the audit is completed and every exception is resolved. Said records must be made available, upon request, to the department for audit purposes. No payment for outstanding medical services can be made if a request for audit is refused.

(2) Additionally, audits will be performed to verify hospital costs and charges utilized in the determination of the hospital’s contribution to and reimbursement from the hospital care assurance fund and disproportionate share fund as described in rules 5101:3-2-08, 5101:3-2-08.1, 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code.

(3) All audit activities described in this rule may be undertaken during any rate year for the purpose of assuring accuracy of data maintained by the department.

(B) Scope of audits for hospital services reimbursed on a reasonable cost basis.

(1) For hospital services reimbursed on a reasonable cost basis as identified in rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code, audits are performed to determine whether:

(a) Services billed were provided;

(b) Services were provided to persons eligible as medicaid recipients on the date(s) services were rendered;

(c) Services billed are covered under the medicaid program in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-2 of the Administrative Code;

(d) Costs reported to the department represent actual incurred, reasonable, and allowable costs in accordance with the provisions of rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code;

(e) Payments made to the hospital for services rendered during the cost period being audited were sufficient or insufficient in relation to audit findings;

(f) Payments made under medicaid are, in the aggregate on a statewide basis, equal to or less than amounts that would have been recognized under Title XVIII (medicare) of the Social Security Act in accordance with C.F.R. 447.272 effective October 1, 2004 for comparable services and on a hospital-specific basis equal to or less than the provider’s customary and prevailing charges for comparable services in accordance with 42 C.F.R. 447.253 effective October 1, 2004;

(g) Amounts of third-party payments reported to the department as described in rules 5101:3-1-08 and 5101:3-2-25 of the Administrative Code reflect the actual amounts received;

(h) For the purpose of updating interim payment rates that are subject to cost settlement, desk audit procedures will take into consideration the relationship between prior year’s reported costs and audited costs; and

(i) Amounts paid by the hospital and payments made by the department related to the indigent care adjustments described in rules 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code were based upon data described in rules 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code.

(2) Underpayments or overpayments determined as a result of findings made under the provisions of paragraphs (B)(1) to (B)(1)(h) of this rule will be reconciled at the time of final settlement as described in paragraph (D)(2) of this rule taking into account any adjustments made during interim settlements as provided in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code.

(1) For hospitals services subject to prospective payment, audit activities are undertaken for several purposes. For each cost-reporting period, cost reports are audited, following the criteria outlined in paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(e) of this rule for the purpose of reaching interim and final settlement with a hospital. For determination of amounts related to indigent care adjustment provisions described in rules 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code, audit steps will be performed following the criteria outlined in paragraph (C)(1)(h) of this rule. During years in which prospective payments are being rebased, additional activities such as those described in paragraphs (C)(1)(f) and (C)(1)(g) of this rule are undertaken to establish program costs used for the calculations described in rule 5101:3-2-07.4 of the Administrative Code. For hospital services identified in rule 5101:3-2-07.1 of the Administrative Code as being subject to prospective payment, desk or field audits of interim cost reports are performed to determine whether:

(a) Services billed were provided.

(b) Services billed were provided to persons eligible as medicaid recipients on the date(s) services were rendered.

(c) Services billed are covered under the medicaid program in accordance with Chapter 5101:3-2 of the Administrative Code.

(d) Payments made under medicaid are, in the aggregate on a statewide basis, equal to or less than amounts that would have been recognized under Title XVIII (medicare) of the Social Security Act in accordance with C.F.R. 447.272 effective October 1, 2004 for comparable services and on a hospital-specific basis equal to or less than the provider’s customary and prevailing charges for comparable services in accordance with 42 C.F.R. 447.253 effective October 1, 2004.

(e) Amounts of third-party payments reported to the department as described in rules 5101:3-1-08 and 5101:3-2-25 of the Administrative Code reflect the actual amounts received.

(f) Costs reported to the department represent actual incurred, reasonable, and allowable costs in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code.

(g) Medicaid discharges and associated charges and days as reported on the cost report are consistent with those reflected for the same period in the department’s paid claims history. In cases where data submitted by the hospital on the cost report are inconsistent with data in the department’s paid claims data file, the cost report is subject to adjustment as described in paragraph (D)(2) of this rule. Inconsistencies subject to adjustment include, but are not limited to:

(i) Submitted discharges lower than those in the department’s paid claims data file;

(ii) Submitted charge-to-day ratio lower than that in the department’s paid claims data file;

(iii) Submitted charges lower than those in the department’s paid claims data file; and

(iv) Other inconsistencies that require analysis and auditor judgment to determine the appropriate type of adjustment.

(h) Amounts related to indigent care adjustments described in rules 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code were based upon data described in rules 5101:3-2-09 and 5101:3-2-10 of the Administrative Code.

(2) For hospitals subject to prospective payment for inpatient services, the audits may result in the following adjustments:

(a) If the review identified in paragraphs (C)(1)(g)(i) to (C)(1)(g)(iv) of this rule indicates that the cost report reflects fewer medicaid discharges and/or a discrepancy exists between reported medicaid charges and those reflected in the ODHS paid claims data file, the interim cost report may be adjusted to reflect inpatient days, charges, and discharge counts from the department’s paid claims data file.

(b) If the reviews identified in paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(c) and (C)(1)(e) of this rule indicate that inappropriate charges were attributed to medicaid program charges in the cost report, the interim cost report will be adjusted to remove such charges.

(c) If the review described in paragraph (C)(1)(f) of this rule identifies that nonallowable disallowed costs were included in the cost report, the interim cost report will be adjusted to remove such costs.

(3) Federal audit findings submitted to the department after September 1, 1987 will be implemented as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.8 of the Administrative Code if the affected rate has been in effect for less than two prospective rate periods following implementation of rebased rate components and if the department notifies the affected hospital of the audit finding within thirty days of receipt of the finding. Hospitals may request reconsideration of the adjustment within thirty days of notification following the procedures outlined in rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code.

(4) Overpayments determined as a result of findings made under the provisions of paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(e) of this rule will be collected by the department.

(D) Interim and final settlement.

(1) Any adjustments described in paragraphs (C)(2) and (C)(3) of this rule will be reflected in the interim or final settlement cost report. Overpayments or underpayments, as described in paragraphs (C)(1)(a) to (C)(1)(d) of this rule, will be collected by the department at settlements based upon findings associated with the cost-reporting period being settled. Retrospective adjustments to payment rates as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.8 of the Administrative Code that are identified prior to interim settlement will be incorporated into interim settlement in instances when such adjustments to payment rates affect payments for discharges occurring during the cost-reporting period being settled.

(2) Final settlement constitutes the implementation of the final fiscal audit for a cost-reporting period.

(a) Any adjustments not incorporated into interim settlement and all applicable retrospective adjustments to payment rates in effect for discharges occurring during the cost-reporting period will be incorporated into final settlement for that cost-reporting period.

(b) Any pending request for reconsideration filed pursuant to paragraphs (B) and (C) of rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code will be incorporated into final settlement.

(c) If a hospital has an outstanding medicare appeal that has not been resolved and that could affect settlement of hospital-specific rate components, the hospital may accept, with reservations, final settlement incorporating adjustments not based on unresolved medicare audit exceptions and hold open that portion of the settlement, with all rights to appeal under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, based on unresolved medicare audit exceptions.

(d) In no instance will adjustments to rates that were in effect during the period covered by final settlement be made following final settlement, and only components of rates that are based solely on hospital-specific data are subject to recalculation and adjustment after such rates have been in effect for two prospective payment periods following the implementation of rebased rate components.

5101:3-2-25 Third-party liability.

Rule 5101:3-1-08 of the Administrative Code sets forth general provisions regarding requirements that the department make payment for covered services only after any available third-party benefits are exhausted. In addition to those general provisions, this rule identifies other requirements applicable to services provided by hospitals.

(A) All hospitals are to utilize third-party resources for all services a consumer receives while in the hospital. If a hospital receives reimbursement from a third-party subsequent to submitting a claim or subsequent to receiving payment from the department, the hospital is to repay the department by submitting a claim adjustment. Patient liabilities associated with persons eligible for medicaid under spend-down provisions (see Chapter 5101:1-39 of the Administrative Code) are considered a third-party resource. Benefits available through Title XVIII of the Social Security Act under medicare, part A and part B, or through medicare part C (medicare advantage), are considered third-party resources, including medicare part A lifetime reserve days.

(B) The following payment provisions apply when billing for services provided to medicaid eligibles having available resources.

(1) For qualified medicare beneficiaries (QMB), including QMB plus and medicaid consumers enrolled in medicare part A, the following payment provisions apply to cost-sharing liability for inpatient services.

(a) For purposes of paragraph (B)(1) of this rule, the “medicaid maximum allowed amount” is the amount that would be payable by medicaid if the hospitalization were billed, in its entirety, to the department as a medicaid-only claim for a medicaid eligible consumer. The medicaid maximum allowed amount is calculated as:

(i) described in rule 5101-3-2-07.11. of the Administrative Code in the case that a hospital is paid in accordance with the Diagnostic Related Grouping (DRG) prospective payment system; or

(ii) described in rule 5101-3-2-22 of the Administrative Code in the case that a hospital is paid on a reasonable cost basis.

(b) Except as described in paragraph (C) of this rule, for persons described in (B)(1) of this rule, the department will pay as cost sharing for inpatient hospital services the lesser of:

(i) The sum of the deductible, coinsurance and co-payment amount as provided by medicare part A; or

(ii) The medicaid maximum allowed amount, as described in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule, minus the total prior payment, not to equal less than zero. The total prior payment includes the amount paid or payable by medicare and any other applicable third party payment for services billed.

(c) If the department has a cost-sharing liability but is unable to calculate a medicaid maximum as described in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule, the department may pay the sum of the deductible, coinsurance and co-payment amount as provided by medicare part A.

(d) If a patient who is jointly eligible for medicare part A and medicaid exhausts medicare part A benefits while hospitalized, and the patient’s hospitalization exceeds the applicable medicare threshold, the department will pay the difference between that amount payable by medicare and the medicaid maximum allowed amount as described in paragraph (B)(1)(a) of this rule.

(2) When a consumer is entitled to medicare part B benefits, the department pays the amount of the medicare deductible and coinsurance minus any other resources available to the recipient for hospital services including health insurance benefits.

(3) For qualified medicare beneficiaries and medicaid consumers enrolled in medicare part C managed health care plans (medicare advantage plans) the department pays in accordance with rule 5101:3-1-05.1 of the Administrative Code.

(4) For inpatient hospital services, if a consumer is entitled to hospital insurance benefits other than medicare including health insurance benefits, the department pays either the applicable DRG prospective payment as described in rule 5101-3-2-07.11 of the Administrative Code or the payment applicable for services reimbursed on a reasonable cost basis as described in rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code, minus any resources available to the patient for hospital services including health insurance benefits. Such resources may include medicare part B payments including health insurance benefits and patient liabilities associated with persons eligible on a spend-down basis as described in paragraph (A) of this rule. For outpatient hospital services, if a consumer is entitled to hospital insurance benefits other than medicare, the department pays either in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code for hospitals subject to DRG prospective payment or in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code for hospitals subject to reimbursement on a reasonable cost basis, minus any resources available to the patient. Such resources may include patient liabilities associated with persons eligible on a spend-down basis as described in paragraph (A) of this rule. For both inpatient and outpatient services, if the resources available to a recipient equal or exceed amounts payable in accordance with this paragraph, the department makes no payment for the hospital services.

5101:3-2-40 Pre-certification review.

This rule describes the pre-certification review program for inpatient and outpatient services. For the medical/surgical pre-certification program, paragraphs (A) to (C) and (E) to (G) of this rule are to be used. For the psychiatric pre-certification program, paragraphs (A)(12), (B) and (D) to (G) of this rule are to be used.

(A) Definitions.

(1) An “emergency admission” is an admission to treat a condition requiring medical and/or surgical treatment within the next forty-eight hours when, in the absence of such treatment, it can reasonably be expected that the patient may suffer unbearable pain, physical impairment, serious bodily injury or death.

(2) “Medically necessary services” are defined in paragraph (B) of rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code.

(3) “Standards of medical practice” are nationally recognized protocols for diagnostic and therapeutic care. These protocols are approved by the medicaid program ODJFS will notify providers of the standards of medical practice to be used by the department. If the department should change the protocols, providers will be notified sixty days in advance.

(4) An “elective admission” is any admission that does not meet the emergency admission definition in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule.

(5) “Elective care” is medical or surgical treatment that may be postponed for at least forty-eight hours without causing the patient unbearable pain, physical impairment, serious bodily injury or death.

(6) For purposes of this rule, a “hospital” is a provider eligible under rule 5101:3-2-01 of the Administrative Code.

(7) A “surgical admission” is an admission to a hospital in which surgery is performed as part of the treatment plan.

(8) A “medical admission” is a nonsurgical, nonpsychiatric, and nonmaternity admission.

(9) “Pre-certification” is a process whereby ODJFS (or its contractual designee) assures that covered medical and psychiatric services, and covered surgical procedures are medically necessary and are provided in the most appropriate and cost effective setting. Since it may be determined that an inpatient stay is not required for the provision of that covered medical or covered surgical care, the location of service delivery may be altered as a result of pre-certification. The payment of that treatment or procedure is contingent upon the acceptance of the review agency’s recommendation on the appropriate location of service, and medical necessity of the admission and/or procedure. The department will mail the precertification list and standards of medical practice to all providers thirty days in advance of requiring pre-certification.

(B) Guidelines for pre-certification

(1) The decision that the provision of elective diagnostic and/or therapeutic care is medically necessary will be based upon nationally recognized standards of medical practice, derived from indicators of severity of illness and intensity of services. Both severity of illness and intensity of service must be present to justify proposed care. When indicated, determinations will also include a consideration of relevant and appropriate psycho-social factors.

(2) The individual circumstances of each patient is taken into account when making a decision about the appropriateness of a hospital admission. Issues that will be considered in making the decision about whether or not an admission is medically necessary include psycho-social factors and factors related to the home environment including proximity to the hospital and the accessibility of alternative sites of care; these issues must be fully documented in the medical record in order to be considered as part of the review.

(1) Admission for individuals who are medicaid eligible at the time of the admission and who do not meet any of the exemptions in paragraph (C)(2) of this rule must be certified by the reviewing agency (ODJFS or its contractual designee) prior to an admission to a hospital as defined in paragraph (A)(6) of this rule.

(2) Excluded from the pre-certification process are:

(a) Emergency admissions, with the exception of emergency psychiatric admissions.

(b) Substance abuse admissions.

(d) Recipients enrolled in health insuring corporations under contract with the department for provision of health services to recipients.

(e) Services provided in hospitals which are located in noncontiguous states.

(f) Elective care that is performed in a hospital inpatient setting on a patient who is already hospitalized for a medically necessary condition unrelated to the elective care or when an unrelated procedure which does not require pre-certification is being performed simultaneously.

(g) Persons whose eligibility is pending at the time of admission or who make application for medicaid subsequent to admission.

(h) Patients who are jointly eligible for medicare and medicaid and who are being admitted under the medicare “part A” benefit.

(i) Patients who are eligible for benefits through a third party insurance as the primary payer for the services subject to pre-certification.

(j) Transfers from one hospital to another hospital with the exception of those hospitals identified for intensified review in accordance with paragraph (C)(1) of rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code.

(k) Admissions for those elective surgical procedures or diagnoses which are not included in the department’s pre-certification list.

(l) If the patient is not identified as a medicaid recipient at the time of an elective admission or procedure. However, every effort should be made by both the attending and/or admitting physicians and hospital providers to identify medicaid recipients before an admission or procedure that requires precertification.

(3) The provider must request pre-certification for an admission and/or procedure that does not meet the exemption criteria listed in paragraphs (C)(2)(a) to (C)(2)(l) of this rule and is on the department’s pre-certification list by contacting the reviewing agency. The reviewing agency is to make a decision on a pre-certification request within three working days of receipt of a properly submitted request, which is to include the information addressed in the standards of medical practice. “Receipt of a properly submitted request” means that all information needed by the reviewing agency to make a decision based upon the guidelines in paragraph (B) of this rule has been provided to the reviewing agency. All negative decisions shall be reviewed by a physician representing ODJFS or its contractual designee. The reviewing agency shall notify in writing the recipient, the requesting physician, the hospital, and ODJFS of all decisions. The reviewing agency must provide that written notice is sent to the requesting physician, recipient, and hospital by the close of the fourth working day after the request is received.

(D) Pre-certification psychiatric.

(1) General information.

The following definitions pertain to psychiatric admissions:

(a) A “psychiatric admission” is an admission of an individual to a hospital with a primary diagnosis of mental illness and not a medical or surgical admission. A discharge from a medical/surgical unit and an admission to a distinct part psychiatric unit within the same facility is considered to be a psychiatric admission and is subject to pre-certification.

(b) An “emergency psychiatric admission” is an admission where the attending psychiatrist believes that there is likelihood of serious harm to the patient or others and that the patient requires both intervention and a protective environment immediately.

(2) All psychiatric admissions for individuals who are medicaid eligible at the time of the admission must be certified by the reviewing agency (ODJFS or its contractual designee) prior to an admission to a hospital or by the next working day after the admission has occurred.

(3) The provider must request pre-certification for a psychiatric admission by contacting the reviewing agency. The reviewing agency is to make a decision on a pre-certification request within three working days of receipt of a properly submitted request, which is to include the information addressed in the standards of medical practice. “Receipt of a properly submitted request” means that all information needed by the reviewing agency to make a decision based upon the guidelines set forth in paragraph (B) of this rule has been provided to the reviewing agency. All negative decisions shall be reviewed by a physician representing ODJFS or its contractual designee. The reviewing agency shall notify the recipient, the requesting physician, the hospital, and ODJFS of all decisions in writing by the close of the fourth working day after the request is received.

(E) Decisions made by the medical review entity as described in this rule are appealable to the medical review entity and are subject to the reconsideration process described in rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code.

(F) Recipients have a right to a hearing in accordance with division-level 5101:6 of the Administrative Code. This hearing is separate and distinct from the provider’s appeal, as described in paragraph (E) of this rule.

(G) Reimbursement for elective care subject to pre-certification review.

(1) A certification that an inpatient stay is necessary for the provision of care and/or a procedure is medically necessary does not guarantee payment for that service. The individual must be a medicaid recipient at the time the service is rendered and the service must be a covered service.

(2) An elective admission, as defined in paragraph (A)(4) of this rule, is reimbursed according to the rates for inpatient hospital services pursuant to rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code for hospital admissions reimbursed on a cost basis and rule 5101:3-2-07.11 of the Administrative Code for hospital admissions reimbursed on a prospective basis. Outpatient hospital services are reimbursed according to rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code for hospitals subject to prospective reimbursement, and according to rule 5101:3-2-22 of the Administrative Code for those hospitals reimbursed on a cost basis. Associated physician services are reimbursed according to medicaid maximums for physician services pursuant to appendix DD to rule 5101:3-1-60 of the Administrative Code.

(3) In any instance when an admission or a procedure that requires pre-certification is performed and the admission and/or procedure has not been approved, hospital payments will not be made. If physician payments have been made for services associated with the medically unnecessary procedure, such payments will be recovered by the department. Recipients may not be billed for charges associated with the admission and/or procedure except under circumstances described in paragraph (G)(4) of this rule.

(4) If the pre-certification process is initiated prospectively by the provider and hospital inpatient services are denied, or if an admission and/or procedure requiring pre-certification is not found to be medically necessary and the recipient chooses hospitalization or to have the medically unnecessary service, these admissions and/or procedures and all associated services would be considered noncovered services and the recipient will be liable for payment of these services in accordance with rule 5101:3-1-13.1 of the Administrative Code.

(5) The medical review entity may determine upon retrospective review, in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.13 of the Administrative Code, that the location of service was not medically necessary, but that services rendered were medically necessary. In this instance, the hospital may bill the department on an outpatient basis for those medically necessary services that were rendered on the date of admission in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-21 of the Administrative Code. Only laboratory and diagnostic radiology services rendered during the remainder of the medically unnecessary admission may be billed in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-02 of the Administrative Code on the outpatient claim. The outpatient bill must be submitted with a copy of the reconsideration affirming the original decision and/or the administrative decision issued in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.12 of the Administrative Code. The outpatient bill with attachments must be submitted to the department within sixty days from the date on the remittance advice recouping the DRG payment for the medically unnecessary admission.

The calculations described in this rule will be based on cost reporting data described in rule 5101:3-2-23 of the Administrative Code, which reflects the most recent completed interim settled medicaid cost report for all hospitals, and the medicare cost report for the corresponding cost reporting period.

(1) For each public hospital, calculate the total medicare inpatient payment by adding the amounts described in paragraphs (A)(7) to (A)(14) of this rule.

(2) For each public hospital, calculate the medicare payment to charge ratio by dividing the amount calculated in paragraph (C)(1) of this rule by the total medicare inpatient charges as described in paragraph (A)(15) of this rule.

The maximum allowable supplemental payment amount is the product of the actual number of medicaid discharges paid during the prior six months and the available per discharge supplemental inpatient hospital payment amount as described in paragraph (C)(5) of this rule, subject to the limitations described in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule.

(2) Public hospitals electing to receive supplemental inpatient hospital payments must notify the department within fourteen days of the date of the notice described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule of their intent to participate. Public hospitals that elect to participate and have notified the department of that intent shall provide an intergovernmental transfer, via electronic funds transfer, up to but not to exceed an amount that equals the maximum allowable supplemental payment amount as described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule multiplied by [1-(federal medical assistance percentage)] by no later than thirty days from the date of the notice described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule.

(3) The total funds that will be paid to each public hospital electing to receive supplemental inpatient hospital payments from the department shall be the amount supplied by each hospital in paragraph (E)(2) of this rule, divided by [1-(federal medical assistance percentage)]. If the total of the funds that will be paid to all public hospitals electing to participate exceeds the aggregate upper payment limit for all public hospitals calculated each supplemental inpatient upper limit payment program year as described in paragraph (C) of this rule, then the amount paid to each public hospital electing to participate will be limited to its proportion of the aggregate upper payment limit. The department may request adjustments to the amounts transferred from and paid to public hospitals electing to participate for the six-month time period.

(F) The total funds that will be paid to each public hospital electing to receive supplemental inpatient hospital payments from the department as described in paragraph (E)(3) of this rule will be included in the calculation of disproportionate share limits as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.5 of the Administrative Code.

(6) For all private hospitals, the sum of the amounts calculated in paragraph (C)(4) of this rule, is the aggregate inpatient upper limit payment gap for all private hospitals

(D) For each supplemental upper limit payment made after the effective date of this rule, the resulting supplemental upper payment limit calculated in paragraph (C) of this rule will be in effect from the first day of January through the thirty-first day of December for each supplemental upper limitpayment program year.

(E) Notwithstanding paragraph (C)(5) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code and except as provided in paragraph (F) of this rule, the director of the Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS) shall pay a children’s hospital that meets the criteria in paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code, for each cost outlier claim made in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, an amount that is the product of the hospital’s allowable charges and the hospital’s medicaid inpatient cost-to-charge ratio. These payments shall be made as supplemental inpatient outlier payments as follows:

(1) In July of each year after the effective date of the medicaid state plan amendment implementing this payment program, the director shall calculate for each eligible children’s hospital the difference between the total amount the director would have paid according to the methodology in paragraph (E) of this rule for such claims for services incurred during the prior state fiscal year using the same cost-to-charge ratio as the ratio used to calculate cost outlier payments in accordance with rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code for services incurred during that time period and the total amount the director paid according to the methodology in paragraph (A)(6) or (C)(5) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code, as the applicable paragraph existed on June 30, 2007, for such claims as reflected in actual medicaid inpatient claims paid through the department’s medicaid management information system (MMIS) in the prior state fiscal year.

(2) If the sum of the amounts calculated in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule for all eligible children’s hospitals is less than or equal to the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly, then the supplemental inpatient outlier payment for each children’s hospital shall be the amount calculated in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule. Otherwise, the supplemental inpatient outlier payment for each children’s hospital shall be the amount calculated in paragraph (F) of this rule.

(F) The director shall cease paying a children’s hospital for a cost outlier claim under the methodology in paragraph (E) of this rule and revert to paying the hospital for such a claim according to methodology in paragraph (A)(6) or (C)(5) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code, as applicable, when the difference between the total amount the director would pay according to the methodology in paragraph (E) of this rule for such claims and the total amount the director paid according to the methodology in paragraph (A)(6) or (C)(5) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code, as the applicable paragraph existed on June 30, 2007, for such claims, exceeds the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly. If the sum of the amounts calculated in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule for all eligible children’s hospitals is greater than the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly, then the supplemental inpatient outlier payment for each children’s hospital shall be the amount calculated as follows:

(1) For each eligible children’s hospital, the director shall calculate the ratio equal to the amount described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule divided by the sum of the amount described in paragraph (E)(1) of this rule for all children’s hospitals. For children’s hospitals that did not have an outlier claim paid in that period, this figure shall be zero.

(2) The supplemental inpatient outlier payment for each children’s hospital shall be the product of the ratio described in paragraph (F)(1) of this rule multiplied by the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly.

(G) If the total funds that would be paid to all children’s hospitals under paragraph (E) or

(F) of this rule exceeds the aggregate inpatient upper limit payment gap for all private hospitals as described in paragraphs (C) and (D) of this rule, then the amount paid to each children’s hospital will be the product of the ratio of the amount described in paragraph (F)(1) of this rule multiplied times the aggregate inpatient upper limit payment gap for all private hospitals as described in paragraphs (C) and (D) of this rule.

(H) The director shall make supplemental inpatient hospital upper limit payments to children’s hospitals if the difference between the total amount the director has paid according to the methodology in paragraph (E) of this rule for cost outlier claims and the total amount the director would have paid according to the methodology in paragraph (A)(6) or (C)(5) of rule 5101:3-2-07.9 of the Administrative Code for such claims, as the applicable paragraph existed on June 30, 2007, does not require the expenditure of the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly. If the supplemental outlier payments specified in paragraph (E) of this rule do not require the expenditure of the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly, and are less than the aggregate inpatient upper limit payment gap for all private hospitals as calculated for each supplemental payment program year as described in paragraphs (C) and (D) of this rule then supplemental inpatient hospital upper limit payments to children’s hospitals shall be made as follows:

(1) In July of each year after the effective date of the medicaid state plan amendment implementing this payment program, the department will calculate for each eligible children’s hospital a supplemental inpatient hospital payment amount by multiplying the ratio of each children’s hospitals’ total medicaid fee-for-service days derived from actual medicaid inpatient discharges paid for through the department’s medicaid management information system (MMIS) in the state fiscal year prior to the month of payment, to the total medicaid fee-for-service days from all children’s hospitals derived from actual inpatient discharges paid for through the department’s MMIS in the state fiscal year prior to the month of payment, by the difference between the available amount for each fiscal year as provided in Section 309.30.13 of Amended Substitute House Bill 119 of the 127th General Assembly minus the supplemental payments made pursuant to paragraph (E) of this rule, subject to the limitation described in paragraph (H)(2) of this rule.

(2) If the total funds that would be paid to all children’s hospitals under paragraph (H)(1) exceeds the aggregate upper payment limit gap for all private hospitals as calculated for each supplemental inpatient upper limit payment program year as described in paragraphs (C) and (D) of this rule, then the amount paid to each children’s hospital will be limited to its proportion, as determined by the ratios described in paragraph (H)(1) of this rule, of the difference between the aggregate upper payment limit gap minus the supplemental payments made pursuant to paragraph (E) of this rule.

(I) All medicaid payments including payments made under this rule are subject to the limitations described in rule 5101:3-2-24 of the Administrative Code.

(J) The total funds that will be paid to each children’s hospital will be included in the calculation of disproportionate share limits as described in rule 5101:3-2-07.5 of the Administrative Code.
