     256B.32 Facility fee for outpatient hospital emergency 
  room and clinic visits. 

    The commissioner shall establish a facility fee payment 
 mechanism that will pay a facility fee to all enrolled 
 outpatient hospitals for each emergency room or outpatient 
 clinic visit provided on or after July 1, 1989.  This payment 
 mechanism may not result in an overall increase in outpatient 
 payment rates.  This section does not apply to federally 
 mandated maximum payment limits, department approved program 
 packages, or services billed using a nonoutpatient hospital 
 provider number.
