How will the PMAP distribution formula work for a specific site?
To compute the public program volume factor of the PMAP formula, the Department of Health will sum the PMAP volume for every site that applied for the MERC Fund. The total PMAP/PGAMC/MA/GA revenue for an individual site will be divided by the total PMAP revenue for all sites to calculate that site’s percentage of total PMAP volume. This percentage will be multiplied by 33% to get a weighted percentage because public program volume represents 33% of the combined MERC/PMAP formula (the other 67% of the distribution is determined by medical education). To determine the amount each teaching program within a given site will obtain, the ratio of adjusted clinical training costs within the program (the average cost for the provider type multiplied by the number of FTEs in the program) to the total adjusted clinical training costs for the training site (the sum of the adjusted clinical training costs for all programs using the site) will be computed. This ratio will be multiplied by the Fund d
