Sec. 17b-239a. Payments to short-term general hospitals located in certain distressed municipalities and targeted investment communities with enterprise zones.
The Department of Social Services may, within available funds, make payments to all
short-term general hospitals located in distressed municipalities, as defined in section
32-9p, with a population greater than seventy thousand and to all short-term general
hospitals located in targeted investment communities with enterprise zones, as defined
in section 32-70, with a population greater than one hundred thousand. The payment
amount for each hospital shall be determined by the Commissioner of Social Services
based upon the ratio that the number of inpatient discharges paid by Medicaid on a fee-for-service basis to the hospital for the most recently filed cost report period bears to
the total hospital discharges paid by Medicaid on a fee-for-service basis for all qualifying
hospitals. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, no payment shall be made to
a facility licensed as a children's hospital.
