	51. Freestanding Psychiatric Facilities. To determine 
Medicaid payment for inpatient services in freestanding 
psychiatric facilities, it is the intent of the Legislature that 
the Health and Human Services Commission adopt a reimbursement 
methodology based on the prospective payment system currently used 
by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to reimburse

extent the commission finds that the increase in reimbursement
