(a) Any children’s hospital as defined in Section 10727 that holds a consolidated license issued pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 1250.8 of the Health and Safety Code may be evaluated for eligibility for payments under subdivision (c) of Section 14105.98 no earlier than January 1, 2000, using data related to all physical plants appearing on the consolidated license. For purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of the payment adjustment under subdivision (l) of Section 14105.98 for these children’s hospitals, the department shall use data relating only to the children’s hospital or any other physical plant appearing on the consolidated license which is not more than 15 miles from the children’s hospital and shall exclude data relating to any physical plant added to the consolidated license pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 1250.8 of the Health and Safety Code.
(b) The department shall not implement this section unless all of the following occur:
(1) Federal financial participation is available.
(2) The federal Health Care Financing Administration approves a state plan amendment to implement this section.
(3) All data necessary to complete the evaluations and calculations required by subdivision (a) are provided to the department from the same sources described in Section 14105.98 and in the approved state plan existing on July 1, 1998. In no event shall data directly provided by a children’s hospital be utilized for these evaluations and calculations.
