(3) The office shall determine each county’s share based on that county’s total hospital uncompensated care costs, divided by the total hospital uncompensated care costs for all counties that are eligible to participate in the CMSP pursuant to Section 16809, and by multiplying that product by the amount appropriated from the Hospital Services Account in the fund for purposes of this chapter. (4) The amounts calculated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be each county’s allocation from the total amount available for allocation to the counties under this chapter.
