4. a. A participating county may transfer funds collected from the fee imposed pursuant to subsection c. of section 3 of this act to the commissioner. The commissioner shall use funds transferred from a participating county, and any matching amount of federal Medicaid funds or other federal funds generated therefrom, for the following purposes: to increase Medicaid payments to hospitals in the jurisdiction from which the funds are received; for payments to managed care organizations that have contracted with Medicaid serving the jurisdiction from which the funds are received for increased hospital or hospital-related payments; and for direct costs related to administrative purposes to implement the program. The commissioner shall seek to minimize the length of time between the collection of the fee by the participating county and the distribution of payments pursuant to this subsection. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the commissioner and a participating county are authorized to enter into an intergovernmental transfer agreement as may be necessary to transfer funds under this subsection or to otherwise satisfy the requirements of this act. b. A participating county may retain the funds collected from the imposition of the fee, in which case the participating county shall generate the same level of funding, in addition to the funds collected from the imposition of the fee, that would be generated by the department through any matching amount of federal Medicaid funds or other federal funds, and use the total funding amount to satisfy paragraph (1) of subsection b. of section 3 of this act. c. At least 90 percent of the funds collected from imposition of the fee shall be used by a participating county or the department for the benefit of local hospitals within the participating county's borders to ensure that the hospitals continue to provide necessary services to low-income citizens. The participating counties shall transfer at least one percent of funds collected from the imposition of the fee to the department for administration of the program.
