Sec. 6. The incremental hospital assessment fee (HAF) is calculated as follows:

1. STEP ONE: Determine the state share of cost of healthy Indiana plan (HIP) services as described in IC 16-21-10-13.3(b)(1)(A) through IC 16-21-10-13.3(b)(1)(D) for the upcoming fiscal year based on projected Medicaid costs.
2. STEP TWO: Determine the state share of increased physician reimbursement as calculated under IC 16-21-10-13.3(b)(1)(E) for the upcoming fiscal year based on projected Medicaid costs.
3. STEP THREE: Determine the state share of administrative costs as calculated under IC 16-21-10-13.3(b)(1)(F) for the upcoming fiscal year based on projected Medicaid costs.
4. STEP FOUR: Add the state share amounts from STEP ONE, STEP TWO, and STEP THREE to determine the total amount of the incremental HAF owed.
5. STEP FIVE: The amount calculated in STEP FOUR is reduced by the anticipated amount that will be deposited in the HIP trust fund by the general assembly under IC 16-21-10-13.3(c)(1), and the total anticipated cigarette tax revenue that will be collected under IC 16-21-10-13.3(c)(2).
