9    applicable FY2019 policy adjusters, multiplied by the
10    applicable service credit factor for the hospital, divided
11    by the total of the FY2019 claims-based payments including
12    all FY2019 policy adjusters for each category of service
13    adjusted by each hospital's applicable service credit
14    factor for all qualified hospitals. For each category of
15    service, a hospital shall receive a supplemental payment
16    equal to its pool allocation percentage multiplied by the
17    total pool amount.
18        (3) Effective July 1, 2018, for purposes of determining

14        shall have a service credit factor of 10%.
15    (e) Graduate medical education.

1    Column 21 and 22 the sum of Lines 30-43, 50-76, 90-93,

4    Lines 14 and 16-18) comprise of the hospital's total days
5    (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 8, Lines 14 and 16-18).
6        (3) An annualized Medicaid indirect medical education
7    (IME) payment is calculated for each hospital using its IME
8    payments (Worksheet E Part A, Line 29, Col 1) multiplied by
9    the percentage that its Medicaid days (Worksheet S3 Part I,
10    Column 7, Lines 14 and 16-18) comprise of its Medicare days
11    (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 6, Lines 14 and 16-18).
12        (4) For each hospital, its annualized Medicaid Intern
13    Resident Cost and its annualized Medicaid IME payment are

17$290,000,000 annually so that transitional hospital access
18payments are made to hospitals.
19        (1) After the transition period, the Department may
20    begin incorporating the transitional hospital access pool
21    into the base rate structure; however, the transitional
22    hospital access payments in effect on June 30, 2018 shall
23    continue to be paid, if continued under Section 5A-16.
24        (2) After the transition period, if the Department

1    adjust current adjustors, develop new hospital access
2    payments based on updated information, or any combination
3    thereof by an amount equal to the decreases proposed in the
4    transitional hospital access pool payments, ensuring that
5    the entire transitional hospital access pool amount shall
6    continue to be used for hospital payments.
7    (d-5) Hospital transformation program. The Department, in
8conjunction with the Hospital Transformation Review Committee
9created under subsection (d-5), shall develop a hospital
10transformation program to provide financial assistance to
11hospitals in transforming their services and care models to
12better align with the needs of the communities they serve. The
13payments authorized in this Section shall be subject to
14approval by the federal government.
15        (1) Phase 1. In State fiscal years 2019 through 2020,
16    the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
17    access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
18    pool of at least $262,906,870 annually and make hospital
19    transformation payments to hospitals. Subject to Section
20    5A-16, in State fiscal years 2019 and 2020, an Illinois
21    hospital that received either a transitional hospital
22    access payment under subsection (d) or a supplemental
23    payment under subsection (f) of this Section in State
24    fiscal year 2018, shall receive a hospital transformation
25    payment as follows:

1        inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
2        45%, the hospital transformation payment shall be
3        equal to 100% of the sum of its transitional hospital
4        access payment authorized under subsection (d) and any
5        supplemental payment authorized under subsection (f).
6            (B) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
7        inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
8        25% but less than 45%, the hospital transformation
9        payment shall be equal to 75% of the sum of its
10        transitional hospital access payment authorized under
11        subsection (d) and any supplemental payment authorized
12        under subsection (f).
13            (C) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
14        inpatient utilization rate is less than 25%, the
15        hospital transformation payment shall be equal to 50%
16        of the sum of its transitional hospital access payment
17        authorized under subsection (d) and any supplemental
18        payment authorized under subsection (f).
19        (2) Phase 2. During State fiscal years 2021 and 2022,
20    the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
21    access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
22    pool annually and make hospital transformation payments to
23    hospitals participating in the transformation program. Any
24    hospital may seek transformation funding in Phase 2. Any
25    hospital that seeks transformation funding in Phase 2 to

1    transition to a new delivery model, must submit to the
2    Department in writing a transformation plan, based on the
3    Department's guidelines, that describes the desired
4    delivery model with projections of patient volumes by
5    service lines and projected revenues, expenses, and net
6    income that correspond to the new delivery model. In Phase
7    2, subject to the approval of rules, the Department may use
8    the hospital transformation pool to increase base rates,
9    develop new adjustors, adjust current adjustors, or
10    develop new access payments in order to support and
11    incentivize hospitals to pursue such transformation. In
12    developing such methodologies, the Department shall ensure
13    that the entire hospital transformation pool continues to
14    be expended to ensure access to hospital services or to
15    support organizations that had received hospital
16    transformation payments under this Section.
17            (A) Any hospital participating in the hospital
18        transformation program shall provide an opportunity
19        for public input by local community groups, hospital
20        workers, and healthcare professionals and assist in
21        facilitating discussions about any transformations or
22        changes to the hospital.
23            (B) As provided in paragraph (9) of Section 3 of
24        the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act, any
