NAC422.125. Formula for Division to calculate distribution factor for hospitals.

     1. The Division will use the following formula to calculate the distribution factor for a hospital:

DF=UCC x	(	UCPH	)	4
		UCPP

where:

     DF is the distribution factor.

     UCC is the uncompensated care costs of the hospital.

     UCPH is the uncompensated care percentage of the hospital.

     UCPP is the uncompensated care percentage of the pool of hospitals of which the hospital is a designated member.

     2. As used in this section:

     (a) “Uncompensated care percentage of the hospital” means the uncompensated care costs of a hospital divided by the net patient revenues of the hospital, as reported on the report filed pursuant to subsection 1 of NAC 439B.230.

     (b) “Uncompensated care percentage of the pool of hospitals” means the sum of the uncompensated care costs for all hospitals in the pool divided by the sum of the net patient revenues of all hospitals in the pool, as reported on the reports filed pursuant to subsection 1 of NAC 439B.230 for each such hospital.
