subparagraph (D) of this subdivision or disallowed exemptions

imposed under this subdivision on the [merging, consolidating or 
reorganizing] merged, consolidated, acquired or reorganized hospitals, 
including any outstanding liabilities from periods prior to such merger, 
consolidation, acquisition or reorganization.  
(ii) If a hospital ceases to operate as a hospital for any reason other 
than a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization, or ceases for 
any reason to be subject to the tax imposed under this subdivision, the 
amount of tax due from each taxpayer under this subdivision shall not

this subdivision shall be reduced by the amount of the tax liability 
imposed on the hospital that is no longer subject to the tax] for the state 
fiscal year in which the hospital dissolves or ceases to operate. The

dissolution or cessation of operations shall not be collected by the 
commissioner for the state fiscal year in which such hospital dissolves 
or ceases to operate. In the next succeeding state fiscal year after the

reduced by such hospital's audited net revenue for fiscal year 2016 and 
the effective rate of the tax due under this section shall be adjusted to 
ensure that the total amount of such tax to be collected under 
subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this subdivision is redistributed among 
the surviving hospitals in proportion to the reduced total audited net  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	6 of 49 
 
revenue for fiscal year 2016 attributable to inpatient hospital services 
and outpatient hospital services, of all hospitals. 
(E) (i) [If] For each state fiscal year commencing on or after July 1, 
2026, if the Commissioner of Social Services determines for any fiscal 
year that the effective rate of tax for the tax imposed on net revenue for 
the provision of inpatient hospital services exceeds the rate permitted 
under the provisions of 42 CFR 433.68(f), as amended from time to time, 
the amount of tax collected that exceeds the permissible amount shall be 
refunded to hospitals, in proportion to the amount of net revenue for 
the provision of inpatient hospital services upon which the hospitals 
were taxed. The effective rate of tax shall be calculated by comparing 
the amount of tax paid by hospitals on net revenue for the provision of 
inpatient hospital services in a state fiscal year with the amount of net 
revenue received by hospitals subject to the tax for the provision of 
inpatient hospital services for the equivalent fiscal year. 
(ii) On or before July 1, [2020] 2026, and annually thereafter, each 
hospital subject to the tax imposed under this subdivision shall report 
to the Commissioner of Social Services, in the manner prescribed by and 
on forms provided by said commissioner, the amount of tax paid 
pursuant to this subsection by such hospital and the amount of net 
revenue received by such hospital for the provision of inpatient hospital 
services, in the state fiscal year commencing two years prior to each such 
reporting date. Not later than ninety days after said commissioner 
receives completed reports from all hospitals required to submit such 
reports, said commissioner shall notify the Commissioner of Revenue 
Services of the amount of any refund due each hospital to be in 
compliance with 42 CFR 433.68(f), as amended from time to time. Not 
later than thirty days after receiving such notice, the Commissioner of 
Revenue Services shall notify the Comptroller of the amount of each 
such refund and the Comptroller shall draw an order on the Treasurer 
for payment of each such refund. No interest shall be added to any  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	7 of 49 
 
refund issued pursuant to this subparagraph. 
(2) Except as provided in subdivision (3) of this subsection, each 
hospital subject to the tax imposed under subdivision (1) of this 
subsection shall be required to pay the total amount due in four 
quarterly payments consistent with section 12-263s, with the first 
quarter commencing with the first day of each state fiscal year and the 
last quarter ending on the last day of each state fiscal year. Hospitals 
shall make all payments required under this subsection in accordance 
with procedures established by and on forms provided by the 
commissioner. 
(3) (A) For the state fiscal year commencing July 1, 2017, each hospital 
required to pay tax on inpatient hospital services or outpatient hospital 
services shall make an estimated tax payment on December 15, 2017, 
which estimated payment shall be equal to one hundred thirty-three per 
cent of the tax due under chapter 211a for the period ending June 30, 
2017. If a hospital was not required to pay tax under chapter 211a on 
either inpatient hospital services or outpatient hospital services, such 
hospital shall make its estimated payment based on its unaudited net 
patient revenue. 
(B) Each hospital required to pay tax pursuant to this subdivision on 
inpatient hospital services or outpatient hospital services shall pay the 
remaining balance determined to be due in two equal payments, which 
shall be due on April 30, 2018, and July 31, 2018, respectively. 
(C) (i) For each state fiscal year commencing on or after July 1, 2017, 
[and prior to July 1, 2019,] each hospital required to pay tax on inpatient 
hospital services or outpatient hospital services shall calculate the 
amount of tax due on forms prescribed by the commissioner by 
multiplying the applicable rate set forth in subdivision (1) of this 
subsection by its audited net revenue for fiscal year 2016.   Senate Bill No. 1221

forms prescribed by the commissioner by multiplying the applicable 
rate set forth in subdivision (1) of this subsection by its audited net 
revenue for the fiscal year, as set forth in subparagraph (C) of 
subdivision (1) of this subsection] For the state fiscal year commencing 
July 1, 2019, the payment made for the period ending September 30, 
2019, by each hospital required to pay tax on inpatient hospital services 
or outpatient hospital services shall be considered an estimated

services or outpatient hospital services shall pay the remaining balance 
due in three equal payments, which shall be due on January 31, 2020,

September 30, 2017, as a partial payment of such hospital's estimated tax 
payment due on December 15, 2017, under subparagraph (A) of this 
subdivision. The commissioner shall return to a hospital any credit 
claimed by such hospital in connection with the tax imposed under 
chapter 211a for the period ending September 30, 2017, for assignment 
as provided under section 12-263s.

for [the] fiscal year 2016 shall be the sum of all audited net revenue for 
the [applicable] 2016 fiscal year for all hospitals required to pay tax on 
inpatient hospital services and outpatient hospital services.

statements for fiscal year 2016 does not report revenue for the entire  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	11 of 49 
 
fiscal year, such hospital's audited net revenue for fiscal year 2016 shall 
be calculated by projecting the amount of revenue such hospital would 
have received for the entire fiscal year based proportionally on the 
audited net revenue reported on its audited financial statements.

for which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services denies an 
exemption shall be deemed to be a hospital for purposes of this section

outpatient hospital services. Any such hospital for which the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services grants an exemption shall be exempt 
from the net revenue tax imposed on outpatient hospital services under 
subsection (a) of this section. Any hospital for which the Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services denies an exemption shall be required

in accordance with section 19a-670. [as of the effective date of the request 
for approval which effective date shall be July first of the year in which

Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	13 of 49 
 
provision of outpatient hospital services for fiscal year 2016 shall be 
increased by such hospital's audited net revenue from the provision of 
outpatient hospital services for fiscal year 2016 and the effective rate of 
the tax due under this section shall be adjusted to ensure that the total 
amount of such tax to be collected under subsection (a) of this section is 
redistributed, commencing with the calendar quarter next succeeding 
the date of the determination by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services. 
(2) (A) For each state fiscal year commencing on or after July 1, 2020, 
the Commissioner of Social Services shall seek approval from the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to exempt sole community 
hospitals from the net revenue tax imposed on outpatient hospital 
services. Any such hospital for which the Centers for Medicare and 
Medicaid Services grants an exemption shall be exempt from the net 
revenue tax imposed on outpatient hospital services under subsection 
(a) of this section. Any hospital for which the Centers for Medicare and

(B) For purposes of this subdivision, "sole community hospital" 
means a hospital that is classified by the Centers for Medicare and 
Medicaid Services for purposes of Medicare as a sole community 
hospital under 42 CFR 412.92. Upon said commissioner's receipt of a 
determination by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that 
a hospital is not exempt, the total audited net revenue from the 
provision of outpatient hospital services for fiscal year 2016 shall be 
increased by such hospital's audited net revenue from the provision of 
outpatient hospital services for fiscal year 2016 and the effective rate of 
the tax due under this section shall be adjusted to ensure that the total 
amount of such tax to be collected under subsection (a) of this section is 
redistributed, commencing with the calendar quarter next succeeding  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	14 of 49 
 
the date of the determination by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services. 
(3) Upon receipt of a determination by the Centers for Medicare and 
Medicaid Services under this subsection that a hospital is not exempt, 
said commissioner shall notify all hospitals subject to the tax under this 
section of such determination, the corresponding increase to the total 
audited net revenue for fiscal year 2016 and the change in any effective 
rate of the tax to be collected under subsection (a) of this section through 
the state fiscal year 2026. Such notice shall be provided prior to the end 
of the calendar quarter next succeeding the date of the determination by 
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. If a state fiscal year has 
commenced when such determination is made, the adjusted audited net 
revenue for fiscal year 2016 and the change in any effective rate of the 
tax to be collected under subsection (a) of this section shall be prorated 
to take into account the amount of the tax already paid during the 
applicable state fiscal year. 
(d) The commissioner shall issue guidance regarding the 
administration of the tax on inpatient hospital services and outpatient 
hospital services. Such guidance shall be issued upon completion of a 
study of the applicable federal law governing the administration of tax 
on inpatient hospital services and outpatient hospital services. The 
commissioner shall conduct such study in collaboration with the 
Commissioner of Social Services, the Secretary of the Office of Policy 
and Management, the Connecticut Hospital Association and the 
hospitals subject to the tax imposed on inpatient hospital services and 
outpatient hospital services. 
(e) (1) The commissioner shall determine, in consultation with the 
Commissioner of Social Services, the Secretary of the Office of Policy 
and Management, the Connecticut Hospital Association and the 
hospitals subject to the tax imposed on inpatient hospital services and 
outpatient hospital services, if there is any underreporting of revenue  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	15 of 49 
 
on hospitals' audited financial statements. Such consultation shall only 
be as authorized under section 12-15. The commissioner shall issue 
guidance, if necessary, to address any such underreporting. 
(2) If the commissioner determines, in accordance with this 
subsection, that a hospital underreported net revenue on its audited 
financial [statement] statements, the amount of underreported net 
revenue shall be added to the amount of net revenue reported on such 
hospital's audited financial [statement] statements so as to comply with 
federal law and the revised net revenue amount shall be used for 
purposes of calculating the amount of tax owed by such hospital under 
this section. For purposes of this subsection, "underreported net 
revenue" means any revenue of a hospital subject to the tax imposed 
under this section that is required to be included in net revenue from 
the provision of inpatient hospital services and net revenue from the 
provision of outpatient hospital services to comply with 42 CFR 433.56, 
as amended from time to time, 42 CFR 433.68, as amended from time to 
time, and Section 1903(w) of the Social Security Act, as amended from 
time to time, but that was not reported on such hospital's audited 
financial [statement] statements. Underreported net revenue shall only 
include revenue of the hospital subject to such tax. 
(f) Nothing in this section shall affect the commissioner's obligations 
under section 12-15 regarding disclosure and inspection of returns and 
return information. 
(g) The provisions of section 17b-8 shall not apply to any exemption 
or exemptions sought by the Commissioner of Social Services from the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under this section.

2018, for hospitals, implementing those increases on the earliest 
available date, as follows: [(1)] (A) The diagnosis-related group base rate 
for inpatient hospital services provided by [privately operated acute

2018, commencing January 1, 2018, the Commissioner of Social Services 
shall pay at the increased rates set forth in this subsection even if each 
applicable Medicaid state plan amendment approval has not been 
received from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services prior to 
January 1, 2018, provided the implementation of such rate increases 
remains subject to federal approval and payment of such increases may 
later be recovered if federal approval is not obtained. For dates of service 
on or after July 1, 2018, the rate increases set forth in this subsection shall

requirements, for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2018, and annually 
thereafter, the commissioner shall not remove the rate increases set forth 
in this subsection.]  
(2) (A) For the purposes of this subsection and subsection (k) of this 
section, "settlement agreement" has the same meaning as provided in 
section 3 of this act.  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	20 of 49 
 
(B) To the extent required by the settlement agreement, including any 
court order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this 
act, for dates of service from January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2026, 
applicable payments to nongovernmental licensed short-term general 
hospitals located in the state shall be made in accordance with the 
relevant requirements of said agreement regarding wage index values, 
the inpatient hospital all-patient refined diagnosis-related group base 
rate and the outpatient hospital ambulatory payment classification 
conversion factor. 
(3) (A) To the extent required by the settlement agreement, including 
any court order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of 
this act, effective January 1, 2020, and each January first thereafter until 
and including January 1, 2026, the commissioner shall increase annually 
the Medicaid rates payable to nongovernmental licensed short-term 
general hospitals located in the state as follows: (i) The inpatient hospital 
all-patient refined diagnosis-related group base rate by two per cent; (ii) 
the inpatient hospital behavioral health per diem rate, the inpatient 
psychiatric services and rehabilitation per diem rates and the inpatient 
behavioral health child discharge delay per diem rate, each by two per 
cent; (iii) the outpatient hospital ambulatory payment classification 
conversion factor by two and two-tenths per cent; and (iv) the revenue 
center codes listed on the hospital outpatient flat fee schedule by two 
and two-tenths per cent. Each such annual increase shall be calculated 
against the rates in effect for the calendar year immediately preceding 
such rate increase. 
(B) As soon as practicable after the effective date of this section, the 
commissioner shall publish public notice of the intent to submit the 
Medicaid state plan amendments necessary to provide for the rate 
increases set forth in subparagraph (A) of this subdivision. Not later 
than fifteen days after the expiration of the thirty-day comment period 
for such state plan amendments, the commissioner shall submit such  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	21 of 49 
 
state plan amendments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services for approval. The commissioner shall diligently pursue the 
federal approvals required for such rate increases. The commissioner 
shall implement such rate increases for the dates of service set forth in 
subparagraph (A) of this subdivision even if federal approvals are 
received after such dates of service, provided the implementation of 
such rate increases remains subject to federal approval to the extent 
required by the terms of the settlement agreement, including any court 
order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this act. If 
federal approvals of such rate increases are not obtained, the payment 
of such rate increases may later be recovered by the commissioner by 
recoupment against other Medicaid payments due to a hospital or in 
any manner authorized by law.  
(4) To the extent required by the settlement agreement, including any 
court order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this 
act, from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2026, the commissioner shall not 
remove, repeal or reduce the rate increases set forth in this subsection 
and appropriations for any payments to nongovernmental licensed 
short-term general hospitals based on such rates shall not be subject to 
rescissions or holdbacks.  
(5) Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of the state to 
recover overpayments and collect unpaid liabilities, as authorized by 
law. No provision of this subsection shall affect implementation of state-
wide diagnosis-related group base rates in accordance with subsection 
(a) of this section. 
(j) Except as otherwise specifically required in subsection (i) of this 
section, (1) notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or regulations 
adopted thereunder, the Department of Social Services is not required 
to increase rates paid, or to set any rates to be paid to or adjust upward 
any method of payment to, any hospital based on inflation or based on 
any inflationary factor, including, but not limited to, any current  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	22 of 49 
 
payments or adjustments that are being made based on dates of service 
in previous years, [. The] and (2) the Department of Social Services shall 
not increase or adjust upward any rates or method of payment to 
hospitals based on inflation or based on any inflationary factor unless 
the approved state budget includes appropriations for such increases or 
upward adjustments.  
[(k) (1) Effective on or after July 1, 2019, the Commissioner of Social 
Services shall implement one or more value -based payment 
methodologies in accordance with this subsection in order to improve 
health outcomes and reduce unnecessary costs, as determined by the 
commissioner. The commissioner may, to the extent determined 
necessary by the commissioner, phase in such value-based payment 
methodologies over time. Such methodologies may include, but need 
not be limited to, methodologies that are designed to: (A) Reduce 
inpatient hospital readmissions; (B) reduce unnecessary caesarian 
section deliveries, take appropriate actions to reduce preterm deliveries 
and improve obstetrical care outcomes; (C) address outpatient infusions 
involving high-cost medications by implementing performance-based 
payments; and (D) implement such other policies as determined by the 
commissioner. 
(2) Effective on or after July 1, 2019, the Commissioner of Social 
Services shall reduce the total applicable rate payments by fifteen per 
cent for each hospital readmission, in addition to any value-based 
payment methodology implemented pursuant to subdivision (1) of this 
subsection. For purposes of this subdivision, "readmission" means, in 
the case of an individual who is discharged from an applicable hospital, 
a subsequent admission of the same individual for observation services 
provided to the individual for the same or a similar diagnosis or 
diagnoses not later than thirty days from the date of such discharge. 
Nothing in this subdivision shall preclude the commissioner from 
establishing additional value-based payment methodologies regarding  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	23 of 49 
 
readmissions. 
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of the general statutes, each 
applicable hospital rate and supplemental payment methodology 
designed by the commissioner shall incorporate each value-based 
payment methodology established pursuant to this section, including 
structuring applicable payment based on each hospital's performance 
on the applicable measures for each value-based payment methodology. 
(l) Medicaid payments to hospitals shall be made only in compliance 
with federal law. If any Medicaid payments to hospitals are not eligible 
for federal financial participation, the Department of Social Services 
shall adjust payments to hospitals to the extent necessary to ensure that 
no Medicaid payments are made to hospitals that are not eligible for 
federal financial participation for all applicable payments and for all 
applicable time periods. No provision of this section or section 17b-239e, 
as amended by this act, shall require the Department of Social Services 
to make any Medicaid payments to hospitals that are not eligible for 
federal financial participation.] 
(k) (1) Subject to any court order issued in accordance with the 
provisions of section 3 of this act, the Department of Social Services shall 
make payments to nongovernmental licensed short-term general 
hospitals to the extent required by the settlement agreement, including, 
to the extent applicable, portions of payments for which the federal 
financial participation may not be available, such as one-time payments 
and payments using state-only funds above the upper payment limit. 
For the purposes of this subsection, "upper payment limit" means the 
limit on aggregate Medicaid payments to specified groups of facilities 
for which Medicaid federal financial participation is available, in 
accordance with 42 CFR 447.72 and 42 CFR 447.321, as applicable, each 
as amended from time to time. 
(2) To the extent required by the settlement agreement, including any  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	24 of 49 
 
court order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this 
act, from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2026, for nongovernmental 
licensed short-term general hospitals located in the state, the 
Department of Social Services shall continue to set Medicaid rates for 
inpatient hospital services and outpatient hospital services in 
accordance with the rate-setting rules and methodologies established in 
the Medicaid state plan in effect as of the effective date of this section 
and incorporating changes to said plan as required by the settlement 
agreement. 
Sec. 6. Section 17b-239e of the general statutes, as amended by section 
307 of public act 19-117, is repealed and the following is substituted in 
lieu thereof (Effective from passage): 
(a) [On or before January 1, 2012, the Commissioner of Social Services, 
in consultation with the Commissioners of Public Health and Mental 
Health and Addiction Services and the Secretary of the Office of Policy 
and Management, shall submit to the joint standing committees of the 
General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to human 
services and appropriations and the budgets of state agencies a plan 
concerning the implementation of a cost neutral acuity-based method 
for establishing rates to be paid to hospitals that is phased in over a 
period of time.] For the purposes of this section, "settlement agreement" 
has the same meaning as provided in section 3 of this act.  
(b) [(1)] Subject to federal approval, the Department of Social Services 
shall establish supplemental pools for certain hospitals [, as determined 
by the department in consultation with the Connecticut Hospital 
Association, including, but not limited to, such pools as a supplemental 
inpatient pool, a supplemental outpatient pool, a supplemental small 
hospital pool, and a supplemental mid-size hospital pool] in accordance 
with the terms of the settlement agreement, including any court order 
issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this act. Such 
pools shall include, but not be limited to, as applicable, general, small  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	25 of 49 
 
hospital, mid-sized hospital and large hospital supplemental pools. 
[(2)] (c) (1) The department shall distribute supplemental payments 
to applicable hospitals [based on criteria determined by the department 
in consultation with the Connecticut Hospital Association, including, 
but not limited to, utilization and proportion of total Medicaid 
expenditures. Such consultation shall include, at a minimum, that the 
department shall send proposed distribution criteria in writing to the 
Connecticut Hospital Association not less than thirty days before 
making any payments based on such criteria and shall provide an 
opportunity to discuss such criteria prior to making any payments 
based on such criteria] in accordance with the settlement agreement, 
including any court order issued in accordance with the provisions of 
section 3 of this act. The commissioner shall diligently pursue the federal 
approvals required for the supplemental pools and payments set forth 
in this section.  
(2) To the extent required by the settlement agreement, including any 
court order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this 
act, the Department of Social Services shall pay Medicaid supplemental 
payments to nongovernmental licensed short-term general hospitals 
located in the state as follows: (A) For the fiscal years ending June 30, 
2020, and June 30, 2021, five hundred forty-eight million three hundred 
thousand dollars in each such fiscal year; and (B) for the fiscal years 
ending June 30, 2022, through June 30, 2026, five hundred sixty-eight 
million three hundred thousand dollars in each such fiscal year. For 
fiscal years commencing on and after July 1, 2026, the total amount of 
supplemental payments paid to such hospitals shall continue at the level 
in effect for the prior fiscal year unless modified through any provision 
of the general statutes or appropriations act. 
(3) From July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2026, the Department of Social 
Services shall make supplemental payments to the applicable hospitals 
on or before the last day of the first month of each calendar quarter,  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	26 of 49 
 
except that payments scheduled to be made before the effective date of 
this section shall be made not later than thirty days after the effective 
date of this section. 
(4) If a nongovernmental licensed short-term general hospital located 
in the state merges or consolidates with or is acquired by another 
hospital, such that the hospital does not continue to maintain a separate 
short-term general hospital license, the supplemental payments that 
would have been paid to the hospital that no longer maintains such 
license shall be paid instead to the surviving hospital, beginning with 
the first calendar quarter that commences on or after the effective date 
of the merger, consolidation or acquisition. If a nongovernmental 
licensed short-term general hospital located in the state dissolves, ceases 
to operate or otherwise terminates licensed short-term general hospital 
services, the supplemental payments that would have been paid to such 
hospital shall not be paid to any other hospital for the remainder of the 
fiscal year in which such hospital dissolves, ceases operations or 
otherwise terminates such services. Commencing with the fiscal year 
after the hospital dissolved, ceased to operate or otherwise terminated 
such services, the supplemental payments that would have been made 
to such hospital shall be redistributed to all other nongovernmental 
licensed short-term general hospitals located in the state in accordance 
with the distribution methodology set forth in the settlement agreement 
for each supplemental pool. 
(5) Both the state and federal share of supplemental payments set 
forth in this subsection shall be appropriated to the Department of Social 
Services. Such supplemental payments shall not be subject to rescissions 
or holdbacks. Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of the 
state to recover overpayments and collect unpaid liabilities, as 
authorized by law. 
[(c) Out of the aggregate amount of the supplemental pools described 
in subsection (b) of this section, within available appropriations, the  Senate Bill No. 1221 
 
Dec. Sp. Sess., Public Act No. 19-1 	27 of 49 
 
following amounts shall be allocated based on each hospital's 
performance on quality measures determined by the Department of 
Social Services: Fifteen million dollars in the fiscal year ending June 30, 
2020, and forty-five million dollars for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
2021. Such allocations shall be made proportionally from each of the 
supplemental pools established pursuant to subsection (b) of this 
section.] 
(d) To the extent required by the settlement agreement, including any 
court order issued in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this 
act, the commissioner shall make the supplemental payments set forth 
in this section effective for the dates of service set forth in this section, 
including payment adjustments to reconcile, in accordance with this 
section, supplemental payments made to hospitals for the calendar 
quarter ending September 30, 2019, as interim payments. Such 
reconciliation shall ensure that, after accounting for such payment 
adjustments, the actual supplemental payments made to each hospital 
shall be the amounts due to each hospital pursuant to the settlement 
agreement, even if federal approvals are received after each applicable 
date that supplemental payments are required to be made, provided the 
supplemental payments remain subject to federal approval. If federal 
approval of such payments is not obtained, such payments may later be 
recovered by the commissioner by recoupment against other Medicaid 
payments due to a hospital or in any manner authorized by law. 
Sec. 7. (Effective from passage) The amounts appropriated for the fiscal 
years ending June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2021, in section 1 of public act
