    (F) Calculate the sum of the weighted average RUG-III direct care staff base rate (with no enhancements) and other recipient care rate based on the RUG rates for these cost areas in effect on September 1, 2008, and the facility's approved to be paid days of service by RUG-III for those recipients paid under RUG-III from September 1, 2008, through August 31, 2009, as represented in the DADS CMS on or around January 4, 2010.

    (G) Compare the sum from subparagraph (A) of this paragraph to the sum from subparagraph (F) of this paragraph.

      (i) If the sum from subparagraph (A) is greater than the sum from subparagraph (F), determine the difference between the sum from subparagraph (A) and the sum from subparagraph (F) times the facility's approved to be paid days of service for those recipients paid under RUG-III from September 1, 2008, through August 31, 2009, as represented in the DADS CMS on or around January 4, 2010, and subtract the hold harmless payments made under subparagraphs (C) and (E) from the product calculated in this clause.

        (I) If the result is a positive number, DADS will pay the facility the difference.

        (II) If the result is a negative number, DADS will recoup the difference from the facility.

      (ii) If the sum from subparagraph (A) is less than the sum from subparagraph (F) and the facility received a hold harmless payment under subparagraph (C) and/or (E), DADS will recoup from the facility the hold harmless payments made under these subparagraphs.

  (4) "On or around" as used in this subsection means the date that the state pulls the information as described in the subsection as close to the dates specified in subsection as feasible and determined by the state. Once the state does the data pull, no other pulls will be made for the purpose of calculating the values described in this subsection. This means that once the paid days of service for a paragraph have been determined for purposes of calculating the TILE to RUG-III hold harmless transition, they will not be updated for late Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions, Utilization Review RUG-III changes, retroactive eligibility or any other reason.
