In the Title XIX Inpatient Hospital Reimbursement Plan, as incorporated into this rule by reference:

Section V.A(9)(10)(11)(12)(16)

In accordance with the 2005-06 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill 2600, for the remainder of State Fiscal Year 2005-2006, due to an increase in the available public hospital upper payment limit balance, hospitals may receive up to the full amount available. The provision and all related language for hospitals to only receive 92 percent or 50 percent of the amount appropriated, based on eliminating the inpatient reimbursement ceilings for specific categories of inpatient hospitals, has been deleted from the rule language.
