(a) Contents

A State plan for medical assistance must -

not less than 40 per centum of the non-Federal share of the

expenditures under the plan with respect to which payments under

section 1396b of this title are authorized by this subchapter;

and, effective July 1, 1969, provide for financial participation

by the State equal to all of such non-Federal share or provide

for distribution of funds from Federal or State sources, for

carrying out the State plan, on an equalization or other basis

which will assure that the lack of adequate funds from local

sources will not result in lowering the amount, duration, scope,

or quality of care and services available under the plan;

(3) provide for granting an opportunity for a fair hearing

before the State agency to any individual whose claim for medical

assistance under the plan is denied or is not acted upon with

reasonable promptness;

(4) provide (A) such methods of administration (including

methods relating to the establishment and maintenance of

personnel standards on a merit basis, except that the Secretary

shall exercise no authority with respect to the selection, tenure

of office, and compensation of any individual employed in

accordance with such methods, and including provision for

utilization of professional medical personnel in the

administration and, where administered locally, supervision of

administration of the plan) as are found by the Secretary to be

necessary for the proper and efficient operation of the plan, (B)

for the training and effective use of paid subprofessional staff,

employee, or independent contractor who is responsible for the

expenditure of substantial amounts of funds under the State plan,

each individual who formerly was such an officer, employee, or

contractor, and each partner of such an officer, employee, or

contractor shall be prohibited from committing any act, in

relation to any activity under the plan, the commission of which,

in connection with any activity concerning the United States

Government, by an officer or employee of the United States

Government, an individual who was such an officer or employee, or

a partner of such an officer or employee is prohibited by section

207 or 208 of title 18, and (D) that each State or local officer,

employee, or independent contractor who is responsible for

selecting, awarding, or otherwise obtaining items and services

under the State plan shall be subject to safeguards against

conflicts of interest that are at least as stringent as the

safeguards that apply under section 423 of title 41 to persons

described in subsection (a)(2) of section 423 of title 41;

(5) either provide for the establishment or designation of a

single State agency to administer or to supervise the

administration of the plan; or provide for the establishment or

designation of a single State agency to administer or to

supervise the administration of the plan, except that the

determination of eligibility for medical assistance under the

plan shall be made by the State or local agency administering the

State plan approved under subchapter I or XVI of this chapter

(insofar as it relates to the aged) if the State is eligible to

participate in the State plan program established under

subchapter XVI of this chapter, or by the agency or agencies

administering the supplemental security income program

established under subchapter XVI or the State plan approved under

part A of subchapter IV of this chapter if the State is not

eligible to participate in the State plan program established

such form and containing such information, as the Secretary may

from time to time require, and comply with such provisions as the

correctness and verification of such reports;

(7) provide safeguards which restrict the use or disclosure of

information concerning applicants and recipients to purposes

directly connected with the administration of the plan;

(8) provide that all individuals wishing to make application

for medical assistance under the plan shall have opportunity to

do so, and that such assistance shall be furnished with

reasonable promptness to all eligible individuals;

(9) provide -

(A) that the State health agency, or other appropriate State

medical agency (whichever is utilized by the Secretary for the

purpose specified in the first sentence of section 1395aa(a) of

this title), shall be responsible for establishing and

maintaining health standards for private or public institutions

in which recipients of medical assistance under the plan may

receive care or services,

(B) for the establishment or designation of a State authority

or authorities which shall be responsible for establishing and

maintaining standards, other than those relating to health, for

of medical assistance made available to individuals in the

group, and (III) the single standard to be employed in

determining income and resource eligibility for all such

groups, and the methodology to be employed in determining

such eligibility, which shall be no more restrictive than the

methodology which would be employed under the supplemental

security income program in the case of groups consisting of

aged, blind, or disabled individuals in a State in which such

program is in effect, and which shall be no more restrictive

than the methodology which would be employed under the

appropriate State plan (described in subparagraph (A)(i)) to

necessity for admission and continued stay of patients by such

professional personnel, shall be used as the basis for

establishing the size and composition of the sample of

admissions to be subject to review and evaluation by such

personnel, and any such sample may be of any size up to 100

service involved if such assignment is made to a governmental

agency or entity or is established by or pursuant to the order

of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) to preclude an

agent of such person or institution from receiving any such

payment if (but only if) such agent does so pursuant to an

agency agreement under which the compensation to be paid to the

agent for his services for or in connection with the billing or

collection of payments due such person or institution under the

subchapter, the State agency which administered or supervised the

administration of the plan of such State approved under subchapter

X of this chapter (or subchapter XVI of this chapter, insofar as it

relates to the blind) was different from the State agency which

administered or supervised the administration of the State plan

approved under subchapter I of this chapter (or subchapter XVI of

this chapter, insofar as it relates to the aged), the State agency

which administered or supervised the administration of such plan

approved under subchapter X of this chapter (or subchapter XVI of

this chapter, insofar as it relates to the blind) may be designated

to administer or supervise the administration of the portion of the

State plan for medical assistance which relates to blind

individuals and a different State agency may be established or

designated to administer or supervise the administration of the

rest of the State plan for medical assistance; and in such case the

part of the plan which each such agency administers, or the

administration of which each such agency supervises, shall be

regarded as a separate plan for purposes of this subchapter (except

for purposes of paragraph (10)). The provisions of paragraphs

(9)(A), (31), and (33) and of section 1396b(i)(4) of this title

shall not apply to a religious nonmedical health care institution

(as defined in section 1395x(ss)(1) of this title).

this chapter, or part A of subchapter IV of this chapter and who

for such month was entitled to monthly insurance benefits under

subchapter II of this chapter shall for purposes of this subchapter

only be deemed to be eligible for financial aid or assistance for

any month thereafter if such individual would have been eligible

for financial aid or assistance for such month had the increase in

monthly insurance benefits under subchapter II of this chapter

resulting from enactment of Public Law 92-336 not been applicable

to such individual.

The requirement of clause (A) of paragraph (37) with respect to a

State plan may be waived by the Secretary if he finds that the

State has exercised good faith in trying to meet such requirement.

For purposes of this subchapter, any child who meets the

requirements of paragraph (1) or (2) of section 673(b) of this

title shall be deemed to be a dependent child as defined in section

606 of this title and shall be deemed to be a recipient of aid to

families with dependent children under part A of subchapter IV of

this chapter in the State where such child resides. Notwithstanding

paragraph (10)(B) or any other provision of this subsection, a

State plan shall provide medical assistance with respect to an

alien who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or

otherwise permanently residing in the United States under color of

law only in accordance with section 1396b(v) of this title.

(b) Approval by Secretary

(2) any residence requirement which excludes any individual who

resides in the State, regardless of whether or not the residence

section to apply for assistance under the State program funded

under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter as a condition of

applying for or receiving medical assistance under this subchapter.

(d) Performance of medical or utilization review functions

of section 1320c-1 of this title, as determined by the Secretary,

or a utilization and quality control peer review organization

having a contract with the Secretary under part B of subchapter XI

of this chapter for the performance of medical or utilization

review functions required under this subchapter of a State plan

with respect to specific services or providers (or services or

providers in a geographic area of the State), such requirements

shall be deemed to be met for those services or providers (or

services or providers in that area) by delegation to such an entity

or organization under the contract of the State's authority to

conduct such review activities if the contract provides for the

performance of activities not inconsistent with part B of

subchapter XI of this chapter and provides for such assurances of

satisfactory performance by such an entity or organization as the

Secretary may prescribe.

(e) Continued eligibility of families determined ineligible because

of income and resources or hours of work limitations of plan;

individuals enrolled with health maintenance organizations;

persons deemed recipients of supplemental security income or

State supplemental payments; entitlement for certain newborns;

postpartum eligibility for pregnant women

effective January 1, 1974, subject to subparagraph (B) each State

plan approved under this subchapter must provide that each family

which was receiving aid pursuant to a plan of the State approved

under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter in at least 3 of the

6 months immediately preceding the month in which such family

became ineligible for such aid because of increased hours of, or

increased income from, employment, shall, while a member of such

family is employed, remain eligible for assistance under the plan

approved under this subchapter (as though the family was receiving

aid under the plan approved under part A of subchapter IV of this

chapter) for 4 calendar months beginning with the month in which

such family became ineligible for aid under the plan approved under

part A of subchapter IV of this chapter because of income and

resources or hours of work limitations contained in such plan.

(B) Subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to families

that cease to be eligible for aid under part A of subchapter IV of

this chapter during the period beginning on April 1, 1990, and

ending on September 30, 2002. During such period, for provisions

relating to extension of eligibility for medical assistance for

certain families who have received aid pursuant to a State plan

approved under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter and have

earned income, see section 1396r-6 of this title.

organization with a contract under section 1395mm of this title and

who would (but for this paragraph) lose eligibility for benefits

under this subchapter before the end of the minimum enrollment

period (defined in subparagraph (B)), the State plan may provide,

notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, that the

individual shall be deemed to continue to be eligible for such

benefits until the end of such minimum period, but, except for

benefits furnished under section 1396d(a)(4)(C) of this title, only

with respect to such benefits provided to the individual as an

enrollee of such organization or entity or by or through the case

manager.

(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term "minimum

enrollment period" means, with respect to an individual's

enrollment with an organization or entity under a State plan, a

period, established by the State, of not more than six months

beginning on the date the individual's enrollment with the

organization or entity becomes effective.

the mentally retarded,

(ii) it is appropriate to provide such care for the

individual outside such an institution, and

(iii) the estimated amount which would be expended for

medical assistance for the individual for such care outside an

institution is not greater than the estimated amount which

would otherwise be expended for medical assistance for the

individual within an appropriate institution; and

(C) if the individual were in a medical institution, would be

eligible for medical assistance under the State plan under this

subchapter,

payment, or State supplemental payment, respectively, is being paid

under subchapter XVI of this chapter.

(4) A child born to a woman eligible for and receiving medical

assistance under a State plan on the date of the child's birth

shall be deemed to have applied for medical assistance and to have

been found eligible for such assistance under such plan on the date

of such birth and to remain eligible for such assistance for a

period of one year so long as the child is a member of the woman's

household and the woman remains (or would remain if pregnant)

eligible for such assistance. During the period in which a child is

deemed under the preceding sentence to be eligible for medical

assistance, the medical assistance eligibility identification

number of the mother shall also serve as the identification number

of the child, and all claims shall be submitted and paid under such

number (unless the State issues a separate identification number

for the child before such period expires).

(5) A woman who, while pregnant, is eligible for, has applied

for, and has received medical assistance under the State plan,

period and is then, in accordance with such section, determined to

be ineligible for medical assistance under the State plan.

(10)(A) The fact that an individual, child, or pregnant woman may

be denied aid under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter

pursuant to section 602(a)(43) (!10) of this title shall not be

construed as denying (or permitting a State to deny) medical

assistance under this subchapter to such individual, child, or

woman who is eligible for assistance under this subchapter on a

basis other than the receipt of aid under such part.

(B) If an individual, child, or pregnant woman is receiving aid

under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter and such aid is

terminated pursuant to section 602(a)(43) (!10) of this title, the

State may not discontinue medical assistance under this subchapter

for the individual, child, or woman until the State has determined

that the individual, child, or woman is not eligible for assistance

under this subchapter on a basis other than the receipt of aid

under such part.

(11)(A) In the case of an individual who is enrolled with a group

health plan under section 1396e of this title and who would (but

benefits under a State plan approved under this subchapter under

subsection (a)(10)(A) of this section shall remain eligible for

those benefits until the earlier of -

(A) the end of a period (not to exceed 12 months) following the

determination; or

(B) the time that the individual exceeds that age.

(f) Effective date of State plan as determinative of duty of State

to provide medical assistance to aged, blind, or disabled

individuals

Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, except as

provided in subsection (e) of this section and section 1382h(b)(3)

of this title and section 1396r-5 of this title, except with

respect to qualified disabled and working individuals (described in

section 1396d(s) of this title), and except with respect to

qualified medicare beneficiaries, qualified severely impaired

individuals, and individuals described in subsection (m)(1) of this

subsection, no State not eligible to participate in the State plan

program established under subchapter XVI of this chapter shall be

required to provide medical assistance to any aged, blind, or

disabled individual (within the meaning of subchapter XVI of this

chapter) for any month unless such State would be (or would have

been) required to provide medical assistance to such individual for

such month had its plan for medical assistance approved under this

subchapter and in effect on January 1, 1972, been in effect in such

month, except that for this purpose any such individual shall be

deemed eligible for medical assistance under such State plan if (in

addition to meeting such other requirements as are or may be

imposed under the State plan) the income of any such individual as

determined in accordance with section 1396b(f) of this title (after

deducting any supplemental security income payment and State

supplementary payment made with respect to such individual, and

incurred expenses for medical care as recognized under State law

regardless of whether such expenses are reimbursed under another

public program of the State or political subdivision thereof) is

not in excess of the standard for medical assistance established

under the State plan as in effect on January 1, 1972. In States

which provide medical assistance to individuals pursuant to

paragraph (10)(C) of subsection (a) of this section, an individual

who is eligible for medical assistance by reason of the

requirements of this section concerning the deduction of incurred

medical expenses from income shall be considered an individual

eligible for medical assistance under paragraph (10)(A) of that

subsection if that individual is, or is eligible to be (1) an

individual with respect to whom there is payable a State

supplementary payment on the basis of which similarly situated

individuals are eligible to receive medical assistance equal in

amount, duration, and scope to that provided to individuals

eligible under paragraph (10)(A), or (2) an eligible individual or

eligible spouse, as defined in subchapter XVI of this chapter, with

respect to whom supplemental security income benefits are payable;

otherwise that individual shall be considered to be an individual

eligible for medical assistance under paragraph (10)(C) of that

subsection. In States which do not provide medical assistance to

individuals pursuant to paragraph (10)(C) of that subsection, an

individual who is eligible for medical assistance by reason of the

requirements of this section concerning the deduction of incurred

medical expenses from income shall be considered an individual

and may provide

that no payment will be made under the State plan with respect to

any individual admitted to such facility after a date specified by

the State.

(2) The State shall not make such a decision with respect to a

facility until the facility has had a reasonable opportunity,

given reasonable notice and opportunity for a hearing.

(3) The State's decision to deny payment may be made effective

only after such notice to the public and to the facility as may be

provided for by the State, and its effectiveness shall terminate

compliance) with the requirements for such a facility under this

subchapter, or (B) in the case described in paragraph (1)(B), with

the end of the eleventh month following the month such decision is

made effective, whichever occurs first. If a facility to which

facility's certification for participation under the plan effective

with the first day of the first month following the month specified

in such clause.

the same or adjacent area with a similar case load or, in the

absence of such a center or clinic, in accordance with the

regulations and methodology referred to in paragraph (2) or based

(and shall not change by any administrative action) the policy in

effect at the beginning of such moratorium period with respect to -

must sell his home (in order that it not be counted as a

resource); and

operation of (including the training of personnel employed by) a

State medicaid fraud control unit (described in subsection (q) of

this section); plus

(7) subject to section 1396r(g)(3)(B) of this title, an amount

equal to 50 per centum of the remainder of the amounts expended

during such quarter as found necessary by the Secretary for the

proper and efficient administration of the State plan.

(b) Quarterly expenditures beginning after December 31, 1969

(1) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the

amount determined under subsection (a)(1) of this section for any

State for any quarter beginning after December 31, 1969, shall not

take into account any amounts expended as medical assistance with

respect to individuals aged 65 or over and disabled individuals

entitled to hospital insurance benefits under subchapter XVIII of

this chapter which would not have been so expended if the

individuals involved had been enrolled in the insurance program

established by part B of subchapter XVIII of this chapter, other

than amounts expended under provisions of the plan of such State

required by section 1396a(a)(34) of this title.

(2) For limitation on Federal participation for capital

expenditures which are out of conformity with a comprehensive plan

of a State or areawide planning agency, see section 1320a-1 of this

title.

(3) The amount of funds which the Secretary is otherwise

obligated to pay a State during a quarter under subsection (a)(6)

of this section may not exceed the higher of -

(A) $125,000, or

(B) one-quarter of 1 per centum of the sums expended by the

Federal, State, and local governments during the previous quarter

in carrying out the State's plan under this subchapter.

(4) Amounts expended by a State for the use of an enrollment

broker in marketing medicaid managed care organizations and other

managed care entities to eligible individuals under this subchapter

shall be considered, for purposes of subsection (a)(7) of this

section, to be necessary for the proper and efficient

administration of the State plan but only if the following

conditions are met with respect to the broker:

(A) The broker is independent of any such entity and of any

health care providers (whether or not any such provider

participates in the State plan under this subchapter) that

provide coverage of services in the same State in which the

broker is conducting enrollment activities.

(B) No person who is an owner, employee, consultant, or has a

contract with the broker either has any direct or indirect

financial interest with such an entity or health care provider or

has been excluded from participation in the program under this

subchapter or subchapter XVIII of this chapter or debarred by any

Federal agency, or subject to a civil money penalty under this

chapter.

(5) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the

amount determined under subsection (a)(1) of this section for any

State shall be decreased in a quarter by the amount of any health

care related taxes (described in subsection (w)(3)(A) of this

section) (!1) that are imposed on a hospital described in

subsection (w)(3)(F) of this section in that quarter.

(c) Treatment of educationally-related services

Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as prohibiting or

restricting, or authorizing the Secretary to prohibit or restrict,

payment under subsection (a) of this section for medical assistance

for covered services furnished to a child with a disability because

such services are included in the child's individualized education

program established pursuant to part B of the Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act [20 U.S.C. 1411 et seq.] or furnished to

an infant or toddler with a disability because such services are

included in the child's individualized family service plan adopted

pursuant to part H (!1) of such Act.

(d) Estimates of State entitlement; installments; adjustments to

reflect overpayments or underpayments; time for recovery or

adjustment; uncollectable or discharged debts; obligated

appropriations; disputed claims

(1) Prior to the beginning of each quarter, the Secretary shall

estimate the amount to which a State will be entitled under

subsections (a) and (b) of this section for such quarter, such

estimates to be based on (A) a report filed by the State containing

its estimate of the total sum to be expended in such quarter in

accordance with the provisions of such subsections, and stating the

amount appropriated or made available by the State and its

political subdivisions for such expenditures in such quarter, and

if such amount is less than the State's proportionate share of the

total sum of such estimated expenditures, the source or sources

from which the difference is expected to be derived, and (B) such

other investigation as the Secretary may find necessary.

(2)(A) The Secretary shall then pay to the State, in such

installments as he may determine, the amount so estimated, reduced

or increased to the extent of any overpayment or underpayment which

the Secretary determines was made under this section to such State

for any prior quarter and with respect to which adjustment has not

already been made under this subsection.

(B) Expenditures for which payments were made to the State under

subsection (a) of this section shall be treated as an overpayment

to the extent that the State or local agency administering such

plan has been reimbursed for such expenditures by a third party

pursuant to the provisions of its plan in compliance with section

1396a(a)(25) of this title.

(C) For purposes of this subsection, when an overpayment is

discovered, which was made by a State to a person or other entity,

the State shall have a period of 60 days in which to recover or

attempt to recover such overpayment before adjustment is made in

the Federal payment to such State on account of such overpayment.

Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (D), the adjustment in

the Federal payment shall be made at the end of the 60 days,

whether or not recovery was made.

(D) In any case where the State is unable to recover a debt which

represents an overpayment (or any portion thereof) made to a person

or other entity on account of such debt having been discharged in

bankruptcy or otherwise being uncollectable, no adjustment shall be

made in the Federal payment to such State on account of such

overpayment (or portion thereof).

(3)(A) The pro rata share to which the United States is equitably

entitled, as determined by the Secretary, of the net amount

recovered during any quarter by the State or any political

subdivision thereof with respect to medical assistance furnished

under the State plan shall be considered an overpayment to be

adjusted under this subsection.

(B)(i) Subparagraph (A) and paragraph (2)(B) shall not apply to

any amount recovered or paid to a State as part of the

comprehensive settlement of November 1998 between manufacturers of

tobacco products, as defined in section 5702(d) of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, and State Attorneys General, or as part of

any individual State settlement or judgment reached in litigation

initiated or pursued by a State against one or more such

manufacturers.

(ii) Except as provided in subsection (i)(19) of this section, a

State may use amounts recovered or paid to the State as part of a

comprehensive or individual settlement, or a judgment, described in

clause (i) for any expenditures determined appropriate by the

State.

(4) Upon the making of any estimate by the Secretary under this

subsection, any appropriations available for payments under this

section shall be deemed obligated.

(5) In any case in which the Secretary estimates that there has

been an overpayment under this section to a State on the basis of a

claim by such State that has been disallowed by the Secretary under

section 1316(d) of this title, and such State disputes such

disallowance, the amount of the Federal payment in controversy

shall, at the option of the State, be retained by such State or

recovered by the Secretary pending a final determination with

respect to such payment amount. If such final determination is to

the effect that any amount was properly disallowed, and the State

chose to retain payment of the amount in controversy, the Secretary

shall offset, from any subsequent payments made to such State under

this subchapter, an amount equal to the proper amount of the

disallowance plus interest on such amount disallowed for the period

beginning on the date such amount was disallowed and ending on the

date of such final determination at a rate (determined by the

Secretary) based on the average of the bond equivalent of the

weekly 90-day treasury bill auction rates during such period.

(6)(A) Each State (as defined in subsection (w)(7)(D) of this

section) shall include, in the first report submitted under

paragraph (1) after the end of each fiscal year, information

related to -

(i) provider-related donations made to the State or units of

local government during such fiscal year, and

(ii) health care related taxes collected by the State or such

units during such fiscal year.

(B) Each State shall include, in the first report submitted under

paragraph (1) after the end of each fiscal year, information

related to the total amount of payment adjustments made, and the

amount of payment adjustments made to individual providers (by

provider), under section 1396r-4(c) of this title during such

fiscal year.

(e) Transition costs of closures or conversions permitted

A State plan approved under this subchapter may include, as a

cost with respect to hospital services under the plan under this

subchapter, periodic expenditures made to reflect transitional

allowances established with respect to a hospital closure or

conversion under section 1395uu of this title.

(f) Limitation on Federal participation in medical assistance

(1)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (4), payment under the

preceding provisions of this section shall not be made with respect

to any amount expended as medical assistance in a calendar quarter,

in any State, for any member of a family the annual income of which

exceeds the applicable income limitation determined under this

paragraph.

(B)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subparagraph,

the applicable income limitation with respect to any family is the

amount determined, in accordance with standards prescribed by the

Secretary, to be equivalent to 133 1/3 percent of the highest

amount which would ordinarily be paid to a family of the same size

without any income or resources, in the form of money payments,

under the plan of the State approved under part A of subchapter IV

of this chapter.

(ii) If the Secretary finds that the operation of a uniform

maximum limits payments to families of more than one size, he may

adjust the amount otherwise determined under clause (i) to take

account of families of different sizes.

(C) The total amount of any applicable income limitation

determined under subparagraph (B) shall, if it is not a multiple of

$100 or such other amount as the Secretary may prescribe, be

rounded to the next higher multiple of $100 or such other amount,

as the case may be.

(2)(A) In computing a family's income for purposes of paragraph

(1), there shall be excluded any costs (whether in the form of

insurance premiums or otherwise and regardless of whether such

costs are reimbursed under another public program of the State or

political subdivision thereof) incurred by such family for medical

care or for any other type of remedial care recognized under State

law or, (B) notwithstanding section 1396o of this title at State

option, an amount paid by such family, at the family's option, to

the State, provided that the amount, when combined with costs

incurred in prior months, is sufficient when excluded from the

family's income to reduce such family's income below the applicable

income limitation described in paragraph (1). The amount of State

expenditures for which medical assistance is available under

subsection (a)(1) of this section will be reduced by amounts paid

to the State pursuant to this subparagraph.

(3) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), in the case of a family

consisting of only one individual, the "highest amount which would

ordinarily be paid" to such family under the State's plan approved

under part A of subchapter IV of this chapter shall be the amount

determined by the State agency (on the basis of reasonable

relationship to the amounts payable under such plan to families

consisting of two or more persons) to be the amount of the aid

which would ordinarily be payable under such plan to a family

(without any income or resources) consisting of one person if such

plan provided for aid to such a family.

(4) The limitations on payment imposed by the preceding

provisions of this subsection shall not apply with respect to any

amount expended by a State as medical assistance for any individual

described in section 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(III),

1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(IV), 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(V),

1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(VI), 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(VII),

1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(IX), 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(X),

1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XIII), 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XIV), or (!2)

1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XV), 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XVI),

1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XVII), 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XVIII), 1396d(p)(1)

of this title or for any individual -

(A) who is receiving aid or assistance under any plan of the

State approved under subchapter I, X, XIV or XVI, or part A of

subchapter IV, or with respect to whom supplemental security

income benefits are being paid under subchapter XVI of this

chapter, or

(B) who is not receiving such aid or assistance, and with

respect to whom such benefits are not being paid, but (i) is

eligible to receive such aid or assistance, or to have such

benefits paid with respect to him, or (ii) would be eligible to

receive such aid or assistance, or to have such benefits paid

with respect to him if he were not in a medical institution, or

(C) with respect to whom there is being paid, or who is

eligible, or would be eligible if he were not in a medical

institution, to have paid with respect to him, a State

supplementary payment and is eligible for medical assistance

equal in amount, duration, and scope to the medical assistance

made available to individuals described in section

1396a(a)(10)(A) of this title, or who is a PACE program eligible

individual enrolled in a PACE program under section 1396u-4 of

this title, but only if the income of such individual (as

determined under section 1382a of this title, but without regard

to subsection (b) thereof) does not exceed 300 percent of the

supplemental security income benefit rate established by section

1382(b)(1) of this title,

at the time of the provision of the medical assistance giving rise

to such expenditure.

(g) Decrease in Federal medical assistance percentage of amounts

paid for services furnished under State plan after June 30, 1973

(1) Subject to paragraph (3), with respect to amounts paid for

the following services furnished under the State plan after June

30, 1973 (other than services furnished pursuant to a contract with

a health maintenance organization as defined in section 1395mm of

this title or which is a qualified health maintenance organization

(as defined in section 300e-9(d) (!3) of this title)), the Federal

medical assistance percentage shall be decreased as follows: After

an individual has received inpatient hospital services or services

in an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded for 60

days or inpatient mental hospital services for 90 days (whether or

not such days are consecutive), during any fiscal year, the Federal

medical assistance percentage with respect to amounts paid for any

such care furnished thereafter to such individual shall be

decreased by a per centum thereof (determined under paragraph (5))

unless the State agency responsible for the administration of the

plan makes a showing satisfactory to the Secretary that, with

respect to each calendar quarter for which the State submits a

request for payment at the full Federal medical assistance

percentage for amounts paid for inpatient hospital services or

services in an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded

furnished beyond 60 days (or inpatient mental hospital services

furnished beyond 90 days), such State has an effective program of

medical review of the care of patients in mental hospitals and

intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded pursuant to

paragraphs (26) and (31) of section 1396a(a) of this title whereby

the professional management of each case is reviewed and evaluated

at least annually by independent professional review teams. In

determining the number of days on which an individual has received

services described in this subsection, there shall not be counted

any days with respect to which such individual is entitled to have

payments made (in whole or in part) on his behalf under section

1395d of this title.

(2) The Secretary shall, as part of his validation procedures

under this subsection, conduct timely sample onsite surveys of

private and public institutions in which recipients of medical

assistance may receive care and services under a State plan

approved under this subchapter, and his findings with respect to

such surveys (as well as the showings of the State agency required

under this subsection) shall be made available for public

inspection.

(3)(A) No reduction in the Federal medical assistance percentage

of a State otherwise required to be imposed under this subsection

shall take effect -

(i) if such reduction is due to the State's unsatisfactory or

invalid showing made with respect to a calendar quarter beginning

before January 1, 1977;

(ii) before January 1, 1978;

(iii) unless a notice of such reduction has been provided to

the State at least 30 days before the date such reduction takes

effect; or

(iv) due to the State's unsatisfactory or invalid showing made

with respect to a calendar quarter beginning after September 30,

1977, unless notice of such reduction has been provided to the

State no later than the first day of the fourth calendar quarter

following the calendar quarter with respect to which such showing

was made.

(B) The Secretary shall waive application of any reduction in the

Federal medical assistance percentage of a State otherwise required

to be imposed under paragraph (1) because a showing by the State,

made under such paragraph with respect to a calendar quarter ending

after January 1, 1977, and before January 1, 1978, is determined to

be either unsatisfactory under such paragraph or invalid under

paragraph (2), if the Secretary determines that the State's showing

made under paragraph (1) with respect to any calendar quarter

ending on or before December 31, 1978, is satisfactory under such

paragraph and is valid under paragraph (2).

(4)(A) The Secretary may not find the showing of a State, with

respect to a calendar quarter under paragraph (1), to be

satisfactory if the showing is submitted to the Secretary later

than the 30th day after the last day of the calendar quarter,

unless the State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary

good cause for not meeting such deadline.

(B) The Secretary shall find a showing of a State, with respect

to a calendar quarter under paragraph (1), to be satisfactory under

such paragraph with respect to the requirement that the State

conduct annual onsite inspections in mental hospitals and

intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded under

paragraphs (26) and (31) of section 1396a(a) of this title, if the

showing demonstrates that the State has conducted such an onsite

inspection during the 12-month period ending on the last date of

the calendar quarter -

(i) in each of not less than 98 per centum of the number of

such hospitals and facilities requiring such inspection, and

(ii) in every such hospital or facility which has 200 or more

beds,

and that, with respect to such hospitals and facilities not

inspected within such period, the State has exercised good faith

and due diligence in attempting to conduct such inspection, or if

the State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that it

would have made such a showing but for failings of a technical

nature only.

(5) In the case of a State's unsatisfactory or invalid showing

made with respect to a type of facility or institutional services

in a calendar quarter, the per centum amount of the reduction of

the State's Federal medical assistance percentage for that type of

services under paragraph (1) is equal to 33 1/3 per centum

multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is equal to the

total number of patients receiving that type of services in that

quarter under the State plan in facilities or institutions for

which a showing was required to be made under this subsection, and

the numerator of which is equal to the number of such patients

receiving such type of services in that quarter in those facilities

or institutions for which a satisfactory and valid showing was not

made for that calendar quarter.

(6)(A) Recertifications required under section 1396a(a)(44) of

this title shall be conducted at least every 60 days in the case of

inpatient hospital services.

(B) Such recertifications in the case of services in an

intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded shall be

conducted at least -

(i) 60 days after the date of the initial certification,

(ii) 180 days after the date of the initial certification,

(iii) 12 months after the date of the initial certification,

(iv) 18 months after the date of the initial certification,

(v) 24 months after the date of the initial certification, and

(vi) every 12 months thereafter.

(C) For purposes of determining compliance with the schedule

established by this paragraph, a recertification shall be

considered to have been done on a timely basis if it was performed

not later than 10 days after the date the recertification was

otherwise required and the State establishes good cause why the

physician or other person making such recertification did not meet

such schedule.

excluded individual, entity, or physician; other restrictions

Payment under the preceding provisions of this section shall not

be made -

(1) for organ transplant procedures unless the State plan

provides for written standards respecting the coverage of such

procedures and unless such standards provide that -

(A) similarly situated individuals are treated alike; and

(B) any restriction, on the facilities or practitioners which

may provide such procedures, is consistent with the

accessibility of high quality care to individuals eligible for

the procedures under the State plan; or

(other than an emergency item or service, not including items or

services furnished in an emergency room of a hospital) furnished

person furnishing such item or service knew or had reason to

know of the exclusion (after a reasonable time period after

reasonable notice has been furnished to the person); or

(3) with respect to any amount expended for inpatient hospital

services furnished under the plan (other than amounts

attributable to the special situation of a hospital which serves

a disproportionate number of low income patients with special

needs) to the extent that such amount exceeds the hospital's

customary charges with respect to such services or (if such

services are furnished under the plan by a public institution

free of charge or at nominal charges to the public) exceeds an

amount determined on the basis of those items (specified in

regulations prescribed by the Secretary) included in the

determination of such payment which the Secretary finds will

provide fair compensation to such institution for such services;

or

(4) with respect to any amount expended for care or services

furnished under the plan by a hospital unless such hospital has

in effect a utilization review plan which meets the requirements

imposed by section 1395x(k) of this title for purposes of

subchapter XVIII of this chapter; and if such hospital has in

effect such a utilization review plan for purposes of subchapter

XVIII of this chapter, such plan shall serve as the plan required

by this subsection (with the same standards and procedures and

the same review committee or group) as a condition of payment

under this subchapter; the Secretary is authorized to waive the

requirements of this paragraph if the State agency demonstrates

to his satisfaction that it has in operation utilization review

procedures which are superior in their effectiveness to the

procedures required under section 1395x(k) of this title; or

for which payment may not be made under part B of subchapter

contract under section 1395mm of this title or a Medicare+Choice

organization with a contract under part C of subchapter XVIII of

this chapter, a provider sponsored organization, or any other

such services are made accessible to individuals (eligible for

medical assistance under the State plan) not enrolled with the

organization, and

(B) Notwithstanding the previous provisions of this section, for

purposes of determining the amount to be paid to a State under

subsection (a)(7) of this section for all quarters in a Federal

fiscal year (beginning with fiscal year 1993), the total amount

expended during the fiscal year for administrative expenditures

under the State plan (as determined without regard to this

subsection) shall be reduced by the sum of any revenues received by

the State (or by a unit of local government in the State) during

such quarters from donations described in paragraph (2)(C), to the

to the Secretary by September 30, 1991, and applicable to State

fiscal year 1992, as demonstrated by State plan amendments, written

agreements, State budget documentation, or other documentary

evidence in existence on that date.

(iii) In applying clause (ii) in the case of donations received

in State fiscal year 1993, the maximum amount of such donations to

which such clause may be applied may not exceed the total amount of

such donations received in the corresponding period in State fiscal

year 1992 (or not later than 5 days after the last day of the

corresponding period).

(D)(i) Except as otherwise provided in clause (ii), subparagraphs

(A)(ii) and (A)(iii) shall apply to taxes received on or after

taxes (including the tax rate or base) were in effect, or the

legislation or regulations imposing such taxes were enacted or

adopted, as of November 22, 1991.

(iii) In this subparagraph and subparagraph (E), the term

"impermissible tax" means a health care related tax for which a

reduction may be made under clause (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph

(A).

(E)(i) In no case may the total amount of donations and taxes

permitted under the exception provided in subparagraphs (C)(ii) and

(D)(ii) for the portion of State fiscal year 1992 occurring during

calendar year 1992 exceed the limit under paragraph (5) minus the

total amount of broad-based health care related taxes received in

the term "provider-related donation" means any donation or other

voluntary payment (whether in cash or in kind) made (directly or

indirectly) to a State or unit of local government by -

(i) a health care provider (as defined in paragraph (7)(B)),

plan for which payment is made to the State under paragraph (2),

(3), (4), (6), or (7) of subsection (a) of this section.

(B) For purposes of paragraph (1)(A)(i)(I), the term "bona fide

provider-related donation" means a provider-related donation that

has no direct or indirect relationship (as determined by the

Secretary) to payments made under this subchapter to that provider,

to providers furnishing the same class of items and services as

that provider, or to any related entity, as established by the

State to the satisfaction of the Secretary. The Secretary may by

regulation specify types of provider-related donations described in

the previous sentence that will be considered to be bona fide

provider-related donations.

(C) For purposes of paragraph (1)(A)(i)(II), donations described

in this subparagraph are funds expended by a hospital, clinic, or

similar entity for the direct cost (including costs of training and

of preparing and distributing outreach materials) of State or local

agency personnel who are stationed at the hospital, clinic, or

entity to determine the eligibility of individuals for medical

assistance under this subchapter and to provide outreach services

to eligible or potentially eligible individuals.

(3)(A) In this subsection (except as provided in paragraph (6)),

the term "health care related tax" means a tax (as defined in

paragraph (7)(F)) that -

(i) is related to health care items or services, or to the

provision of, the authority to provide, or payment for, such

items or services, or

(ii) is not limited to such items or services but provides for

treatment of individuals or entities that are providing or paying

for such items or services that is different from the treatment

provided to other individuals or entities.

In applying clause (i), a tax is considered to relate to health

care items or services if at least 85 percent of the burden of such

tax falls on health care providers.

(B) In this subsection, the term "broad-based health care related

tax" means a health care related tax which is imposed with respect

to a class of health care items or services (as described in

paragraph (7)(A)) or with respect to providers of such items or

services and which, except as provided in subparagraphs (D), (E),

and (F) -

(i) is imposed at least with respect to all items or services

in the class furnished by all non-Federal, nonpublic providers in

the State (or, in the case of a tax imposed by a unit of local

government, the area over which the unit has jurisdiction) or is

imposed with respect to all non-Federal, nonpublic providers in

the class; and

(ii) is imposed uniformly (in accordance with subparagraph

(C)).

(C)(i) Subject to clause (ii), for purposes of subparagraph

(B)(ii), a tax is considered to be imposed uniformly if -

(I) in the case of a tax consisting of a licensing fee or

similar tax on a class of health care items or services (or

providers of such items or services), the amount of the tax

imposed is the same for every provider providing items or

services within the class;

(II) in the case of a tax consisting of a licensing fee or

similar tax imposed on a class of health care items or services

(or providers of such services) on the basis of the number of

beds (licensed or otherwise) of the provider, the amount of the

tax is the same for each bed of each provider of such items or

services in the class;

(III) in the case of a tax based on revenues or receipts with

respect to a class of items or services (or providers of items or

services) the tax is imposed at a uniform rate for all items and

services (or providers of such items or services) in the class on

all the gross revenues or receipts, or net operating revenues,

relating to the provision of all such items or services (or all

such providers) in the State (or, in the case of a tax imposed by

a unit of local government within the State, in the area over

which the unit has jurisdiction); or

(IV) in the case of any other tax, the State establishes to the

satisfaction of the Secretary that the tax is imposed uniformly.

(ii) Subject to subparagraphs (D) and (E), a tax imposed with

respect to a class of health care items and services is not

considered to be imposed uniformly if the tax provides for any

credits, exclusions, or deductions which have as their purpose or

effect the return to providers of all or a portion of the tax paid

in a manner that is inconsistent with subclauses (I) and (II) of

subparagraph (E)(ii) or provides for a hold harmless provision

described in paragraph (4).

(D) A tax imposed with respect to a class of health care items

and services is considered to be imposed uniformly -

(i) notwithstanding that the tax is not imposed with respect to

items or services (or the providers thereof) for which payment is

made under a State plan under this subchapter or subchapter XVIII

of this chapter, or

(ii) in the case of a tax described in subparagraph

(C)(i)(III), notwithstanding that the tax provides for exclusion

(in whole or in part) of revenues or receipts from a State plan

under this subchapter or subchapter XVIII of this chapter.

(E)(i) A State may submit an application to the Secretary

requesting that the Secretary treat a tax as a broad-based health

care related tax, notwithstanding that the tax does not apply to

all health care items or services in class (or all providers of

such items and services), provides for a credit, deduction, or

exclusion, is not applied uniformly, or otherwise does not meet the

requirements of subparagraph (B) or (C). Permissible waivers may

include exemptions for rural or sole-community providers.

(ii) The Secretary shall approve such an application if the State

establishes to the satisfaction of the Secretary that -

(I) the net impact of the tax and associated expenditures under

this subchapter as proposed by the State is generally

redistributive in nature, and

(II) the amount of the tax is not directly correlated to

payments under this subchapter for items or services with respect

to which the tax is imposed.

The Secretary shall by regulation specify types of credits,

exclusions, and deductions that will be considered to meet the

requirements of this subparagraph.

(F) In no case shall a tax not qualify as a broad-based health

care related tax under this paragraph because it does not apply to

a hospital that is described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from taxation under section 501(a)

of such Code and that does not accept payment under the State plan

under this subchapter or under subchapter XVIII of this chapter.

(4) For purposes of paragraph (1)(A)(iii), there is in effect a

hold harmless provision with respect to a broad-based health care

related tax imposed with respect to a class of items or services if

the Secretary determines that any of the following applies:

(A) The State or other unit of government imposing the tax

provides (directly or indirectly) for a payment (other than under

this subchapter) to taxpayers and the amount of such payment is

positively correlated either to the amount of such tax or to the

difference between the amount of the tax and the amount of

payment under the State plan.

(B) All or any portion of the payment made under this

subchapter to the taxpayer varies based only upon the amount of

the total tax paid.

(C) The State or other unit of government imposing the tax

provides (directly or indirectly) for any payment, offset, or

waiver that guarantees to hold taxpayers harmless for any portion

of the costs of the tax.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not prevent use of the tax

to reimburse health care providers in a class for expenditures

under this subchapter nor preclude States from relying on such

reimbursement to justify or explain the tax in the legislative

process.

(5)(A) For purposes of this subsection, the limit under this

subparagraph with respect to a State is an amount equal to 25

percent (or, if greater, the State base percentage, as defined in

subparagraph (B)) of the non-Federal share of the total amount

expended under the State plan during a State fiscal year (or

portion thereof), as it would be determined pursuant to paragraph

(1)(A) without regard to paragraph (1)(A)(iv).

(B)(i) In subparagraph (A), the term "State base percentage"

means, with respect to a State, an amount (expressed as a

percentage) equal to -

(I) the total of the amount of health care related taxes

(whether or not broad-based) and the amount of provider-related

donations (whether or not bona fide) projected to be collected

(in accordance with clause (ii)) during State fiscal year 1992,

divided by

(II) the non-Federal share of the total amount estimated to be

expended under the State plan during such State fiscal year.

(ii) For purposes of clause (i)(I), in the case of a tax that is

not in effect throughout State fiscal year 1992 or the rate (or

base) of which is increased during such fiscal year, the Secretary

shall project the amount to be collected during such fiscal year as

if the tax (or increase) were in effect during the entire State

fiscal year.

(C)(i) The total amount of health care related taxes under

subparagraph (B)(i)(I) shall be determined by the Secretary based

on only those taxes (including the tax rate or base) which were in

effect, or for which legislation or regulations imposing such taxes

were enacted or adopted, as of November 22, 1991.

(ii) The amount of provider-related donations under subparagraph

(B)(i)(I) shall be determined by the Secretary based on programs in

effect on September 30, 1991, and applicable to State fiscal year

1992, as demonstrated by State plan amendments, written agreements,

State budget documentation, or other documentary evidence in

existence on that date.

(iii) The amount of expenditures described in subparagraph

(B)(i)(II) shall be determined by the Secretary based on the best

data available as of December 12, 1991.

(6)(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the

Secretary may not restrict States' use of funds where such funds

are derived from State or local taxes (or funds appropriated to

State university teaching hospitals) transferred from or certified

by units of government within a State as the non-Federal share of

expenditures under this subchapter, regardless of whether the unit

of government is also a health care provider, except as provided in

section 1396a(a)(2) of this title, unless the transferred funds are

derived by the unit of government from donations or taxes that

would not otherwise be recognized as the non-Federal share under

this section.

(B) For purposes of this subsection, funds the use of which the

Secretary may not restrict under subparagraph (A) shall not be

considered to be a provider-related donation or a health care

related tax.

(7) For purposes of this subsection:

(A) Each of the following shall be considered a separate class

of health care items and services:

(i) Inpatient hospital services.

(ii) Outpatient hospital services.

(iii) Nursing facility services (other than services of

intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded).

(iv) Services of intermediate care facilities for the

mentally retarded.

(v) Physicians' services.

(vi) Home health care services.

(vii) Outpatient prescription drugs.

(viii) Services of a medicaid managed care organization with

a contract under subsection (m) of this section.

(ix) Such other classification of health care items and

services consistent with this subparagraph as the Secretary may

establish by regulation.

(B) The term "health care provider" means an individual or

person that receives payments for the provision of health care

items or services.

(C) An entity is considered to be "related" to a health care

provider if the entity -

(i) is an organization, association, corporation or

partnership formed by or on behalf of health care providers;

(ii) is a person with an ownership or control interest (as

defined in section 1320a-3(a)(3) of this title) in the

provider;

(iii) is the employee, spouse, parent, child, or sibling of

the provider (or of a person described in clause (ii)); or

(iv) has a similar, close relationship (as defined in

regulations) to the provider.

(D) The term "State" means only the 50 States and the District

of Columbia but does not include any State whose entire program

under this subchapter is operated under a waiver granted under

section 1315 of this title.

(E) The "State fiscal year" means, with respect to a specified

year, a State fiscal year ending in that specified year.

(F) The term "tax" includes any licensing fee, assessment, or

other mandatory payment, but does not include payment of a
