The department shall determine payment amounts on the basis of the difference between the state share of medical assistance payments paid for services rendered to tribal members for whom a care coordination agreement with nontribal health care providers is in place and the state share of medical assistance payments that would have been paid for those services absent a care coordination agreement with nontribal partners.

The department shall withhold from the payments under subd. 1. the state share of administrative costs associated with carrying out this subsection, up to 10 percent of the amounts calculated in subd. 1.
