A hospital's base target amount is calculated from the cost report submitted to the Medicare program for the hospital's fiscal year ending after June 30, 1996, and before July 1, 1997, and adjusted annually for inflation as appropriated by the Legislature and changes to the DRG weight factors. A list of the DRGs and their associated weight factors may be obtained on the department's fee schedule website.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The department shall use the following method to calculate the amount of reimbursement:</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)&nbsp;&nbsp;Multiply the hospital's target amount by the weight factor of the DRG assigned to the claim;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)&nbsp;&nbsp;Multiply the daily capital and education cost for the hospital by the number of days the patient was in the hospital; and</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3)&nbsp;&nbsp;Add the products of subdivisions (1) and (2) of this section.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition to the regular DRG reimbursement, the department shall pay for a cost outlier if the claim qualifies for the cost outlier as defined in &#167;&nbsp;67:16:03:01. The amount of the cost outlier payment is equal to 90 percent of the cost outlier.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When calculating the rate of reimbursement, the department uses only those diagnosis codes&nbsp; adopted in &#167;&nbsp;67:16:01:26 that reflect the services furnished to or on behalf of the eligible individual and the conditions that affected the treatment or extended the length of the individual's stay.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a patient is transferred, referred, or discharged to another hospital or another type of special care facility and the transfer, referral, or discharge is medically necessary or if a patient leaves the hospital against medical advice, reimbursement is on a per diem basis. To determine the rate of reimbursement, multiply the hospital's target amount by the weight factor of the DRG assigned to the claim, divide the result by the geometric mean length of stay, multiply the result by the number of days the individual was an inpatient, and add the hospital's daily capital and education cost. The amount paid may not exceed 100 percent of the allowed DRG reimbursement.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For inpatient costs for Medicaid Access Critical facilities the department uses the facility's cost report to determine whether any adjustment to reimbursement is necessary for amounts due the provider.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> SL 1975, ch 16, &#167;&nbsp;1; 1 SDR 30, effective October 13, 1974; 7 SDR 66, 7 SDR 89, effective July 1, 1981; 11 SDR 26, effective August 21, 1984; transferred from &#167;&nbsp;67:16:03:12, 12 SDR 6, effective July 28, 1985; exemptions for certain hospitals transferred to &#167;&nbsp;67:16:03:06.02, 13 SDR 8, effective August 3, 1986; 15 SDR 2, effective July 17, 1988; 17 SDR 180, effective May 27, 1991; 22 SDR 143, effective May 9, 1996; 24 SDR 19, effective August 21, 1997; 24 SDR 144, effective April 30, 1998; 25 SDR 116, effective March 24, 1999; 30 SDR 26, effective September 3, 2003; 31 SDR 39, effective September 29, 2004; 36 SDR 215. effective July 1, 2010; 36 SDR 215, adopted June 11, 2010, effective July 1, 2011; 37 SDR 236, effective June 28, 2011; 37 SDR 236, adopted June 8, 2011, effective July 1, 2012; 39 SDR 15, effective August 6, 2012; 40 SDR 15, effective July 31, 2013; 42 SDR 51, effective October 13, 2015.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1">28-6-1(2)</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1.1">28-6-1.1.</A></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1">28-6-1(2)</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1.1">28-6-1.1.</A></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Reference:</b> <b>South Dakota Medicaid State Plan</b>, Attachment 4.19-A, page 1.
