Examples of Medicaid inpatient utilization rate in a sentence
Out-of-state hospitals serving Iowa Medicaid patients qualify for disproportionate share payments from the fund based on their state Medicaid agency’s calculation of the Medicaid inpatient utilization rate.
The disproportionate share percentage is calculated using the number of standard deviations by which the hospital’s own state Medicaid inpatient utilization rate exceeds the hospital’s own statewide mean Medicaid inpatient utilization rate.
For months beginning with July 2002, hospitals qualify for disproportionate share payments from the fund when the hospital’s low-income utilization rate exceeds 25 percent, when the hospital’s Medicaid inpatient utilization rate exceeds one standard deviation from the statewide average Medicaid utilization rate, or when the hospital qualifies as a children’s hospital under subparagraph (10).
For those hospitals that qualify for disproportionate share under the Medicaid inpatient utilization rate definition, but do not qualify under the low-income utilization rate definition, the disproportionate share percentage shall be the product of 2½ percent multiplied by the number of standard deviations by which the hospital’s own Medicaid inpatient utilization rate exceeds the statewide mean Medicaid inpatient utilization rate for all hospitals.
For those hospitals that qualify for disproportionate share under the low-income utilization rate definition, but do not qualify under the Medicaid inpatient utilization rate definition, the disproportionate share percentage shall be 2½ percent.
