(d) "State-owned and operated psychiatric hospital" means eastern state hospital and western state hospital.

(3)Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, a psychiatric community hospital, regardless of location, is not eligible to receive:

(b) Any other disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payment from the medicaid agency. See WAC 182-550-4800 regarding payment for psychiatric claims for clients eligible under the medical care services programs.

(4)A psychiatric community hospital within the state of Washington that is designated by the agency as an IMD is eligible to receive IMDDSH payment if:

(b) The legislature provides funds specifically for this purpose.

(5)A psychiatric community hospital within the state of Washington that is designated by the agency as an IMD is eligible to receive a state grant amount from the agency if the legislature appropriates funds specifically for this purpose.
