Fla. Stat. § 409.9119
In addition to the payments made under s. 409.911, the Agency for Health Care Administration shall develop and implement a system under which disproportionate share payments are made to those hospitals that are separately licensed by the state as specialty hospitals for children, have a federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services certification number in the 3300-3399 range, have Medicaid days that exceed 55 percent of their total days and Medicare days that are less than 5 percent of their total days, and were licensed on January 1, 2013, as specialty hospitals for children. This system of payments must conform to federal requirements and must distribute funds in each fiscal year for which an appropriation is made by making quarterly Medicaid payments. Notwithstanding s. 409.915, counties are exempt from contributing toward the cost of this special reimbursement for hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients. The agency may make disproportionate share payments to specialty hospitals for children as provided for in the General Appropriations Act.
TAE = DSR x BMPD x MD
Where:
TAE = total amount earned by a specialty hospital for children.
DSR = disproportionate share rate.
BMPD = base Medicaid per diem.
MD = Medicaid days.
TAP = (TAE x TA) ÷ STAE
Where:
TAP = total additional payment for a specialty hospital for children.
TAE = total amount earned by a specialty hospital for children.
TA = total appropriation for the specialty hospital for children disproportionate share program.
STAE = sum of total amount earned by each hospital that participates in the specialty hospital for children disproportionate share program.
