provision includes pass-through payments made under section 256B.5015; and

(4) beginning July 1, 2004, when state funds are used to pay for a nursing facility
placement due to the facility's status as an institution for mental diseases (IMD), the
county shall pay 20 percent of the nonfederal share of costs that have exceeded 90 days.
This clause is subject to chapter 256G.

For counties that participate in a Medicaid demonstration project under sections
256B.69 and 256B.71, the division of the nonfederal share of medical assistance expenses

assistance expenses shall be 95 percent by the state and five percent by the county of

In counties where prepaid health plans are under contract to the commissioner to
provide services to medical assistance recipients, the cost of court ordered treatment
ordered without consulting the prepaid health plan that does not include diagnostic
evaluation, recommendation, and referral for treatment by the prepaid health plan is the
responsibility of the county of financial responsibility.
