with that official no later than the later of 15 | ||||||

or the | ||||||

| ||||||
10 | (b) A life, health, or life and health insurer's or | ||||||
11 | fraternal benefit society's RBC shall be
determined under the | ||||||
12 | formula set
forth in the RBC Instructions. The formula shall | ||||||
13 | take into account (and may
adjust for the covariance between):
| ||||||
14 | (1) the risk with respect to the insurer's assets;
| ||||||
15 | (2) the risk of adverse insurance experience with | ||||||
16 | respect to the insurer's
liabilities and obligations;
| ||||||
17 | (3) the interest rate risk with respect to the | ||||||
18 | insurer's business; and
| ||||||
19 | (4) all other business risks and other relevant risks | ||||||
20 | set forth in the RBC
Instructions.
| ||||||
21 | These risks shall be determined in each case by applying
the | ||||||
22 | factors in the
manner set forth in the RBC Instructions. | ||||||
23 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding the RBC | ||||||
24 | Instructions, health maintenance organizations operating as | ||||||
25 | Medicaid managed care plans under contract with the Department | ||||||
26 | of Healthcare and Family Services shall not be required to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | include in its RBC calculations any capitation revenue | ||||||
2 | identified by Medicaid managed care plans as authorized under | ||||||
3 | Section 5A-12.6(r) of the Illinois Public Aid Code.
| ||||||
4 | (c) A property and casualty insurer's RBC shall be | ||||||
5 | determined in
accordance
with the formula set forth in the RBC | ||||||
6 | Instructions. The formula shall take
into account (and may | ||||||
7 | adjust for the covariance between):
| ||||||
8 | (1) asset risk;
| ||||||
9 | (2) credit risk;
| ||||||
10 | (3) underwriting risk; and
| ||||||
11 | (4) all other business risks and other relevant risks | ||||||
12 | set
forth in the RBC Instructions.
| ||||||
13 | These risks shall be determined in each case by applying the | ||||||
14 | factors in the
manner
set forth in the RBC Instructions.
| ||||||
15 | (d) A health organization's RBC shall be determined in | ||||||
16 | accordance with the
formula set forth in the RBC Instructions. | ||||||
17 | The formula shall take the
following into account (and may | ||||||
18 | adjust for the covariance between):
| ||||||
19 | (1) asset risk;
| ||||||
20 | (2) credit risk;
| ||||||
21 | (3) underwriting risk; and
| ||||||
22 | (4) all other business risks and other relevant risks | ||||||
23 | set forth in the RBC
Instructions.
| ||||||
24 | These risks shall be determined in each case by applying the | ||||||
25 | factors in the
manner set forth in the RBC Instructions.
| ||||||
26 | (e) An excess of capital over the amount produced by the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | risk-based
capital requirements contained in this Code and the | ||||||
2 | formulas, schedules, and
instructions referenced in this Code | ||||||
3 | is desirable in the business of insurance.
Accordingly, | ||||||
4 | insurers should seek to maintain capital above the RBC levels
| ||||||
5 | required by this Code. Additional capital is used and useful in | ||||||
6 | the insurance
business and helps to secure an insurer against | ||||||
7 | various risks inherent in, or
affecting, the business of | ||||||
8 | insurance and not accounted for or only partially
measured by | ||||||
9 | the risk-based capital requirements contained in this Code.
| ||||||
10 | (f) If a domestic insurer files an RBC Report that, in the
| ||||||
11 | judgment of the
Director, is inaccurate, the Director shall | ||||||
12 | adjust the RBC Report to correct
the inaccuracy and shall | ||||||
13 | notify the insurer of the adjustment. The notice
shall contain | ||||||
14 | a statement of the reason for the adjustment.

| ||||||
10 | (2) hospitals with a Medicaid inpatient utilization | ||||||
11 | rate
that is equal to or greater than the mean Medicaid | ||||||
12 | inpatient utilization rate
but less than one standard | ||||||
13 | deviation above the mean Medicaid inpatient
utilization | ||||||
14 | rate shall receive a per day adjustment payment
equal to | ||||||
15 | the sum of $25 plus $1 for each one percent that the | ||||||
16 | hospital's
Medicaid inpatient utilization rate exceeds the | ||||||
17 | mean Medicaid inpatient
utilization rate;
| ||||||
18 | (3) hospitals with a Medicaid inpatient utilization | ||||||
19 | rate that is equal
to or greater than one standard | ||||||
20 | deviation above the mean Medicaid inpatient
utilization | ||||||
21 | rate but less than 1.5 standard deviations above the mean | ||||||
22 | Medicaid
inpatient utilization rate shall receive a per day | ||||||
23 | adjustment payment equal to
the sum of $40 plus $7 for each | ||||||
24 | one percent that the hospital's Medicaid
inpatient | ||||||
25 | utilization rate exceeds one standard deviation above the | ||||||
26 | mean
Medicaid inpatient utilization rate; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) hospitals with a Medicaid inpatient utilization | ||||||

3 | deviations above the mean Medicaid inpatient
utilization | ||||||
4 | rate shall receive a per day adjustment payment equal to | ||||||
5 | the sum of
$90 plus $2 for each one percent that the | ||||||
6 | hospital's Medicaid inpatient
utilization rate exceeds 1.5 | ||||||
7 | standard deviations above the mean Medicaid
inpatient | ||||||
8 | utilization rate.
| ||||||
9 | (d) Supplemental adjustment payments. In addition to the | ||||||
10 | adjustment
payments described in paragraph (c), hospitals as | ||||||
11 | defined in clauses
(1) through (5) of paragraph (b), excluding | ||||||
12 | county hospitals (as defined in
subsection (c) of Section 15-1 | ||||||
13 | of this Code) and a hospital organized under the
University of | ||||||
14 | Illinois Hospital Act, shall be paid supplemental inpatient
| ||||||
15 | adjustment payments of $60 per day. For purposes of Title XIX | ||||||
16 | of the federal
Social Security Act, these supplemental | ||||||
17 | adjustment payments shall not be
classified as adjustment | ||||||
18 | payments to disproportionate share hospitals.
| ||||||
19 | (e) The inpatient adjustment payments described in | ||||||
20 | paragraphs (c) and (d)
shall be increased on October 1, 1993 | ||||||
21 | and annually thereafter by a percentage
equal to the lesser of | ||||||
22 | (i) the increase in the DRI hospital cost index for the
most | ||||||
23 | recent 12 month period for which data are available, or (ii) | ||||||
24 | the
percentage increase in the statewide average hospital | ||||||
25 | payment rate over the
previous year's statewide average | ||||||
26 | hospital payment rate. The sum of the
inpatient adjustment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | payments under paragraphs (c) and (d) to a hospital, other
than | ||||||
2 | a county hospital (as defined in subsection (c) of Section 15-1 | ||||||
3 | of this
Code) or a hospital organized under the University of | ||||||
4 | Illinois Hospital Act,
however, shall not exceed $275 per day; | ||||||
5 | that limit shall be increased on
October 1, 1993 and annually | ||||||
6 | thereafter by a percentage equal to the lesser of
(i) the | ||||||
7 | increase in the DRI hospital cost index for the most recent | ||||||
8 | 12-month
period for which data are available or (ii) the | ||||||
9 | percentage increase in the
statewide average hospital payment | ||||||
10 | rate over the previous year's statewide
average hospital | ||||||
11 | payment rate.
| ||||||
12 | (f) Children's hospital inpatient adjustment payments. For | ||||||
13 | children's
hospitals, as defined in clause (5) of paragraph | ||||||
14 | (b), the adjustment payments
required pursuant to paragraphs | ||||||
15 | (c) and (d) shall be multiplied by 2.0.
| ||||||
16 | (g) County hospital inpatient adjustment payments. For | ||||||
17 | county hospitals,
as defined in subsection (c) of Section 15-1 | ||||||
18 | of this Code, there shall be an
adjustment payment as | ||||||
19 | determined by rules issued by the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
20 | (h) For the purposes of this Section the following terms | ||||||
21 | shall be defined
as follows:
| ||||||
22 | (1) "Medicaid inpatient utilization rate" means a | ||||||
23 | fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of a | ||||||
24 | hospital's inpatient days provided in a given
12-month | ||||||
25 | period to patients who, for such days, were eligible for | ||||||
26 | Medicaid
under Title XIX of the federal Social Security |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act, and the denominator of
which is the total number of | ||||||
2 | the hospital's inpatient days in that same period.
| ||||||
3 | (2) "Mean Medicaid inpatient utilization rate" means | ||||||
4 | the total number
of Medicaid inpatient days provided by all | ||||||
5 | Illinois Medicaid-participating
hospitals divided by the | ||||||
6 | total number of inpatient days provided by those same
| ||||||
7 | hospitals.
| ||||||
8 | (3) "Medicaid obstetrical inpatient utilization rate" | ||||||
9 | means the
ratio of Medicaid obstetrical inpatient days to | ||||||
10 | total Medicaid inpatient
days for all Illinois hospitals | ||||||
11 | receiving Medicaid payments from the
Illinois Department.
| ||||||
12 | (i) Inpatient adjustment payment limit. In order to meet | ||||||
13 | the limits
of Public Law 102-234 and Public Law 103-66, the
| ||||||
14 | Illinois Department shall by rule adjust
disproportionate | ||||||
15 | share adjustment payments.
| ||||||
16 | (j) University of Illinois Hospital inpatient adjustment | ||||||
17 | payments. For
hospitals organized under the University of | ||||||
18 | Illinois Hospital Act, there shall
be an adjustment payment as | ||||||
19 | determined by rules adopted by the Illinois
Department.
| ||||||
20 | (k) The Illinois Department may by rule establish criteria | ||||||
21 | for and develop
methodologies for adjustment payments to | ||||||
22 | hospitals participating under this
Article.
| ||||||
23 | (l) On and after July 1, 2012, the Department shall reduce | ||||||
24 | any rate of reimbursement for services or other payments or | ||||||
25 | alter any methodologies authorized by this Code to reduce any | ||||||
26 | rate of reimbursement for services or other payments in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accordance with Section 5-5e. | ||||||

4 | Sec. 5-30.1. Managed care protections. | ||||||
5 | (a) As used in this Section: | ||||||
6 | "Managed care organization" or "MCO" means any entity which | ||||||
7 | contracts with the Department to provide services where payment | ||||||
8 | for medical services is made on a capitated basis. | ||||||
9 | "Emergency services" include: | ||||||
10 | (1) emergency services, as defined by Section 10 of the | ||||||
11 | Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act; | ||||||
12 | (2) emergency medical screening examinations, as | ||||||
13 | defined by Section 10 of the Managed Care Reform and | ||||||
14 | Patient Rights Act; | ||||||
15 | (3) post-stabilization medical services, as defined by | ||||||
16 | Section 10 of the Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights | ||||||
17 | Act; and | ||||||
18 | (4) emergency medical conditions, as defined by
| ||||||
19 | Section 10 of the Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights
| ||||||
20 | Act. | ||||||
21 | (b) As provided by Section 5-16.12, managed care | ||||||
22 | organizations are subject to the provisions of the Managed Care | ||||||
23 | Reform and Patient Rights Act. | ||||||
24 | (c) An MCO shall pay any provider of emergency services | ||||||
25 | that does not have in effect a contract with the contracted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Medicaid MCO. The default rate of reimbursement shall be the | ||||||
2 | rate paid under Illinois Medicaid fee-for-service program | ||||||
3 | methodology, including all policy adjusters, including but not | ||||||
4 | limited to Medicaid High Volume Adjustments, Medicaid | ||||||
5 | Percentage Adjustments, Outpatient High Volume Adjustments, | ||||||
6 | and all outlier add-on adjustments to the extent such | ||||||
7 | adjustments are incorporated in the development of the | ||||||
8 | applicable MCO capitated rates. | ||||||
9 | (d) An MCO shall pay for all post-stabilization services as | ||||||
10 | a covered service in any of the following situations: | ||||||
11 | (1) the MCO authorized such services; | ||||||
12 | (2) such services were administered to maintain the | ||||||
13 | enrollee's stabilized condition within one hour after a | ||||||
14 | request to the MCO for authorization of further | ||||||
15 | post-stabilization services; | ||||||
16 | (3) the MCO did not respond to a request to authorize | ||||||
17 | such services within one hour; | ||||||
18 | (4) the MCO could not be contacted; or | ||||||
19 | (5) the MCO and the treating provider, if the treating | ||||||
20 | provider is a non-affiliated provider, could not reach an | ||||||
21 | agreement concerning the enrollee's care and an affiliated | ||||||
22 | provider was unavailable for a consultation, in which case | ||||||
23 | the MCO
must pay for such services rendered by the treating | ||||||
24 | non-affiliated provider until an affiliated provider was | ||||||
25 | reached and either concurred with the treating | ||||||
26 | non-affiliated provider's plan of care or assumed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | responsibility for the enrollee's care. Such payment shall | ||||||
2 | be made at the default rate of reimbursement paid under | ||||||
3 | Illinois Medicaid fee-for-service program methodology, | ||||||
4 | including all policy adjusters, including but not limited | ||||||
5 | to Medicaid High Volume Adjustments, Medicaid Percentage | ||||||
6 | Adjustments, Outpatient High Volume Adjustments and all | ||||||
7 | outlier add-on adjustments to the extent that such | ||||||
8 | adjustments are incorporated in the development of the | ||||||
9 | applicable MCO capitated rates. | ||||||
10 | (e) The following requirements apply to MCOs in determining | ||||||
11 | payment for all emergency services: | ||||||
12 | (1) MCOs shall not impose any requirements for prior | ||||||
13 | approval of emergency services. | ||||||
14 | (2) The MCO shall cover emergency services provided to | ||||||
15 | enrollees who are temporarily away from their residence and | ||||||
16 | outside the contracting area to the extent that the | ||||||
17 | enrollees would be entitled to the emergency services if | ||||||
18 | they still were within the contracting area. | ||||||
19 | (3) The MCO shall have no obligation to cover medical | ||||||
20 | services provided on an emergency basis that are not | ||||||
21 | covered services under the contract. | ||||||
22 | (4) The MCO shall not condition coverage for emergency | ||||||
23 | services on the treating provider notifying the MCO of the | ||||||
24 | enrollee's screening and treatment within 10 days after | ||||||
25 | presentation for emergency services. | ||||||
26 | (5) The determination of the attending emergency |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | physician, or the provider actually treating the enrollee, | ||||||
2 | of whether an enrollee is sufficiently stabilized for | ||||||
3 | discharge or transfer to another facility, shall be binding | ||||||
4 | on the MCO. The MCO shall cover emergency services for all | ||||||
5 | enrollees whether the emergency services are provided by an | ||||||
6 | affiliated or non-affiliated provider. | ||||||
7 | (6) The MCO's financial responsibility for | ||||||
8 | post-stabilization care services it has not pre-approved | ||||||
9 | ends when: | ||||||
10 | (A) a plan physician with privileges at the | ||||||
11 | treating hospital assumes responsibility for the | ||||||
12 | enrollee's care; | ||||||
13 | (B) a plan physician assumes responsibility for | ||||||
14 | the enrollee's care through transfer; | ||||||
15 | (C) a contracting entity representative and the | ||||||
16 | treating physician reach an agreement concerning the | ||||||
17 | enrollee's care; or | ||||||
18 | (D) the enrollee is discharged. | ||||||
19 | (f) Network adequacy and transparency. | ||||||
20 | (1) The Department shall: | ||||||
21 | (A) ensure that an adequate provider network is in | ||||||
22 | place, taking into consideration health professional | ||||||
23 | shortage areas and medically underserved areas; | ||||||
24 | (B) publicly release an explanation of its process | ||||||
25 | for analyzing network adequacy; | ||||||
26 | (C) periodically ensure that an MCO continues to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | have an adequate network in place; and | ||||||
2 | (D) require MCOs, including Medicaid Managed Care | ||||||
3 | Entities as defined in Section 5-30.2, to meet provider | ||||||
4 | directory requirements under Section 5-30.3. | ||||||
5 | (2) Each MCO shall confirm its receipt of information | ||||||
6 | submitted specific to physician additions or physician | ||||||
7 | deletions from the MCO's provider network within 3 days | ||||||
8 | after receiving all required information from contracted | ||||||
9 | physicians, and electronic physician directories must be | ||||||
10 | updated consistent with current rules as published by the | ||||||
11 | Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or its successor | ||||||
12 | agency. | ||||||
13 | (g) Timely payment of claims. | ||||||
14 | (1) The MCO shall pay a claim within 30 days of | ||||||
15 | receiving a claim that contains all the essential | ||||||
16 | information needed to adjudicate the claim. | ||||||
17 | (2) The MCO shall notify the billing party of its | ||||||
18 | inability to adjudicate a claim within 30 days of receiving | ||||||
19 | that claim. | ||||||
20 | (3) The MCO shall pay a penalty that is at least equal | ||||||
21 | to the penalty imposed under the Illinois Insurance Code | ||||||
22 | for any claims not timely paid. | ||||||
23 | (4) The Department may establish a process for MCOs to | ||||||
24 | expedite payments to providers based on criteria | ||||||
25 | established by the Department. | ||||||
26 | (g-5) Recognizing that the rapid transformation of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois Medicaid program may have unintended operational | ||||||
2 | challenges for both payers and providers: | ||||||
3 | (1) in no instance shall a medically necessary covered | ||||||
4 | service rendered in good faith, based upon eligibility | ||||||
5 | information documented by the provider, be denied coverage | ||||||
6 | or diminished in payment amount if the eligibility or | ||||||
7 | coverage information available at the time the service was | ||||||
8 | rendered is later found to be inaccurate; and | ||||||
9 | (2) the Department shall, by December 31, 2016, adopt | ||||||
10 | rules establishing policies that shall be included in the | ||||||
11 | Medicaid managed care policy and procedures manual | ||||||
12 | addressing payment resolutions in situations in which a | ||||||
13 | provider renders services based upon information obtained | ||||||
14 | after verifying a patient's eligibility and coverage plan | ||||||
15 | through either the Department's current enrollment system | ||||||
16 | or a system operated by the coverage plan identified by the | ||||||
17 | patient presenting for services: | ||||||
18 | (A) such medically necessary covered services | ||||||
19 | shall be considered rendered in good faith; | ||||||
20 | (B) such policies and procedures shall be | ||||||
21 | developed in consultation with industry | ||||||
22 | representatives of the Medicaid managed care health | ||||||
23 | plans and representatives of provider associations | ||||||
24 | representing the majority of providers within the | ||||||
25 | identified provider industry; and | ||||||
26 | (C) such rules shall be published for a review and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | comment period of no less than 30 days on the | ||||||
2 | Department's website with final rules remaining | ||||||
3 | available on the Department's website. | ||||||
4 | (3) The rules on payment resolutions shall include, but | ||||||
5 | not be limited to: | ||||||
6 | (A) the extension of the timely filing period; | ||||||
7 | (B) retroactive prior authorizations; and | ||||||
8 | (C) guaranteed minimum payment rate of no less than | ||||||
9 | the current, as of the date of service, fee-for-service | ||||||
10 | rate, plus all applicable add-ons, when the resulting | ||||||
11 | service relationship is out of network. | ||||||
12 | (4) The rules shall be applicable for both MCO coverage | ||||||
13 | and fee-for-service coverage. | ||||||
14 | (g-6) MCO Performance Metrics Report. | ||||||
15 | (1) The Department shall publish, on at least a | ||||||
16 | quarterly basis, each MCO's operational performance, | ||||||
17 | including, but not limited to, the following categories of | ||||||
18 | metrics: | ||||||
19 | (A) claims payment, including timeliness and | ||||||
20 | accuracy; | ||||||
21 | (B) prior authorizations; | ||||||
22 | (C) grievance and appeals; | ||||||
23 | (D) utilization statistics; | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) The Department shall ensure that the metrics report | ||||||
2 | is accessible to providers online by January 1, 2017. | ||||||
3 | (3) The metrics shall be developed in consultation with | ||||||
4 | industry representatives of the Medicaid managed care | ||||||
5 | health plans and representatives of associations | ||||||
6 | representing the majority of providers within the | ||||||
7 | identified industry. | ||||||
8 | (4) Metrics shall be defined and incorporated into the | ||||||
9 | applicable Managed Care Policy Manual issued by the | ||||||
10 | Department. | ||||||
11 | (g-7) MCO claims processing and performance analysis. In | ||||||
12 | order to monitor MCO payments to hospital providers, pursuant | ||||||
13 | to this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, the | ||||||
14 | Department shall post an analysis of MCO claims processing and | ||||||
15 | payment performance on its website every 6 months. Such | ||||||
16 | analysis shall include a review and evaluation of a | ||||||
17 | representative sample of hospital claims that are rejected and | ||||||
18 | denied for clean and unclean claims and the top 5 reasons for | ||||||
19 | such actions and timeliness of claims adjudication, which | ||||||
20 | identifies the percentage of claims adjudicated within 30, 60, | ||||||
21 | 90, and over 90 days, and the dollar amounts associated with | ||||||
22 | those claims. The Department shall post the contracted claims | ||||||
23 | report required by HealthChoice Illinois on its website every 3 | ||||||
24 | months. | ||||||
25 | (h) The Department shall not expand mandatory MCO | ||||||
26 | enrollment into new counties beyond those counties already |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | designated by the Department as of June 1, 2014 for the | ||||||
2 | individuals whose eligibility for medical assistance is not the | ||||||
3 | seniors or people with disabilities population until the | ||||||
4 | Department provides an opportunity for accountable care | ||||||
5 | entities and MCOs to participate in such newly designated | ||||||
6 | counties. | ||||||
7 | (i) The requirements of this Section apply to contracts | ||||||
8 | with accountable care entities and MCOs entered into, amended, | ||||||
9 | or renewed after June 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public | ||||||
10 | Act 98-651).

7 | Illinois Procurement Code is inconsistent with applicable | ||||||
8 | federal law or would have the effect of foreclosing the use, | ||||||
9 | potential use, or receipt of federal financial participation, | ||||||
10 | the applicable federal law or funding condition shall prevail, | ||||||
11 | but only to the extent of such inconsistency.

3 | (a) If the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid | ||||||
4 | Services finds that any federal upper payment limit applicable | ||||||
5 | to the payments under this Article is exceeded then: | ||||||
6 | (1) the payments under this Article that exceed the | ||||||
7 | applicable federal upper payment limit shall be reduced | ||||||
8 | uniformly to the extent necessary to comply with the | ||||||
9 | applicable federal upper payment limit; and | ||||||
10 | (2) any assessment rate imposed under this Article | ||||||
11 | shall be reduced such that the aggregate assessment is | ||||||
12 | reduced by the same percentage reduction applied in | ||||||
13 | paragraph (1); and | ||||||
14 | (3) any transfers from the Hospital Provider Fund under | ||||||
15 | Section 5A-8 shall be reduced by the same percentage | ||||||
16 | reduction applied in paragraph (1). | ||||||
17 | (b) Any payment reductions made under the authority granted | ||||||
18 | in this Section are exempt from the requirements and actions | ||||||
19 | under Section 5A-10.
| ||||||
20 | (c) If any payments made as a result of the requirements of | ||||||
21 | this Article are subject to a disallowance, deferral, or | ||||||
22 | adjustment of federal matching funds then: | ||||||
23 | (1) the Department shall recoup the payments related to | ||||||
24 | those federal matching funds paid by the Department from | ||||||
25 | the parties paid by the Department; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) if the payments that are subject to a disallowance, | ||||||
2 | deferral, or adjustment of federal matching funds were made | ||||||
3 | to MCOs, the Department shall recoup the payments related | ||||||
4 | to the disallowance, deferral, or adjustment from the MCOs | ||||||
5 | no sooner than the Department is required to remit federal | ||||||
6 | matching funds to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid | ||||||
7 | Services or any other federal agency, and hospitals that | ||||||
8 | received payments from the MCOs that were made with such | ||||||
9 | disallowed, deferred, or adjusted federal matching funds | ||||||
10 | must return those payments to the MCOs at least 10 business | ||||||
11 | days before the MCOs are required to remit such payments to | ||||||

14 | under this Article that is attributable to the payments | ||||||
15 | that are subject to a disallowance, deferral, or adjustment | ||||||
16 | of federal matching funds, shall be refunded to the | ||||||
17 | hospitals by the Department. | ||||||
18 | If an MCO is unable to recoup funds from a hospital for any | ||||||
19 | reason, then the Department, upon written notice from an MCO, | ||||||
20 | shall work in good faith with the MCO to mitigate losses | ||||||
21 | associated with the lack of recoupment. Losses by an MCO shall | ||||||
22 | not exceed 1% of the total payments distributed by the MCO to | ||||||
23 | hospitals pursuant to the Hospital Assessment Program. | ||||||
