Medical Education and Research Costs (MERC)
Prepaid Medical Assistance Program (PMAP)
Prepaid General Assistance Medical Care (PGAMC)
2006 Distribution
The MERC Fund was established in 1996 to provide funding for the clinical training of selected medical profes­
sions. The purpose of this funding is to compensate teaching facilities for a portion of the costs of clinical training
provided in patient care settings. Historically, teaching institutions covered a portion of these costs by setting
patient charges above what they would be in a non-teaching environment. However, due to the implementation of
managed care and other cost containment mechanisms, it became increasingly difficult for teaching facilities to col­
lect this teaching increment, leaving these facilities at a competitive disadvantage. With the shift away from inpa­
tient care and reductions in Medicare funding of medical education, teaching facilities are finding it more difficult
to fund the costs of clinical training. In response to these financial pressures, the MERC fund began distributing
funds to clinical training sites in 1998. Currently, funding for MERC is derived from a dedicated cigarette tax,
along with federal matching funds
In addition to the original MERC Fund, beginning in the fall of 2000, medical education 'add-on' funds began to be
removed from capitated Prepaid Medical Assistance Program (PMAP) and Prepaid General Assistance Medical Care
(PGAMC) rates and transferred to MERC for distribution directly to training sites. These add-on payments had his­
torically been included in the capitated PMAP and PGAMC rates paid to health plans, but began being carved out of
rates in October 2000 due to concerns that the funds, intended to offset higher costs at teaching facilities due to med­
ical education, were not being passed through by health plans. Unlike the general MERC Fund, this is not new
money but rather a transfer of existing funds that are distributed via a new mechanism. The first PMAP Distribution
took place in June 2001. From 2001 until 2003, distributions from the PMAP fund occurred biannually, with each
distribution containing six months worth of carved-out dollars. For more information about the history of the PMAP
carveout, please visit the MERC website at http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/hpsc/hep/merc/pmap/index.html.
Prior to 2004, the MERC and PMAP/PGAMC distributions were made separately; however, in 2004, a statutory
change directed MDH to combine the two distributions and distribute the funds annually, usually during the sum­
mer or fall of each year. In doing this, the legislature also implemented a new method for calculating the distribu­
tion. The 2004, 2005 and 2006 MERC/PMAP distributions combine the funding from all the funding pools, then
set aside ten percent for sponsoring institutions to use at their discretion for eligible training sites under their
teaching programs. Devising a methodology for how much is given to these sites is determined by the sponsoring
institution. (Data containing the discretionary distribution is not reflected in this report, with the exception of the
total amounts available to the sponsoring institutions.)

2006 MERC/PMAP Fund Distribution
Applications for grants are submitted by sponsoring institutions (organizations that are financially or organization­
ally responsible for one or more teaching programs) on behalf of the programs they sponsor. Each teaching pro­
gram uses clinical training sites to provide training to the provider types listed below. Since the MERC/PMAP
grants are designed to offset costs at clinical training sites, not at sponsoring institutions, the sponsoring institu­
tions are obligated to forward the grants on to the clinics or hospitals at which their students’ or residents’ training
was provided. A facility may be both a sponsoring institution and a training site. Training sites often support
trainees from multiple sponsoring institutions and programs. Currently, nine provider types (listed below) are eligi­
ble for MERC/PMAP grants.
Provider types eligible for grants
from the 2006 MERC/PMAP
Fund

In 2006, the MERC/PMAP Fund distributed grants to 22 sponsoring institutions representing 171 training pro­
grams, over 586 distinct training sites, and 2,973 trainees. The table below shows a breakdown of the 2006 distri­
bution by sponsoring institution.

Note: Individual institution totals may not add up to the total overall grant due to rounding.
Of the total MERC/PMAP grant amount stated above, $321,571.02 has not been released. We are pending approval from CMS before federal funds
can be released to nursing homes. After the distribution was sent, some funds were returned due to unforeseen site changes that were not known until
funding was mailed. Adjustments were not made to the amounts reported above or any other overall grant amounts listed throughout this report. The
individual site totals account for actual amount received by the sites. All returned funds will be rolled into the next distribution.

Distribution by Provider Type
Medical Residents accounted for 61% of FTEs and 75% of the grant distribution in 2006. The FTEs were over
three times higher than the FTEs of next largest provider type. In 2006, submission of cost data was not required
for programs. By current statute, programs will only be required to submit costs and financial data at the request of
the Commissioner.

Distribution by County
In a breakdown of the distribution by county, the results coincide with the counties of the major teaching institu­
tions. Hennepin County, which received slightly over 46% of the 2006 distribution, is home to many teaching
facilities including Hennepin County Medical Center, Fairview University Medical Center, and Abbott
Northwestern Hospital. Olmsted County home of the Mayo Clinic and affiliated hospitals, received 27%. These
two counties alone received just over 73% of the total distribution.

MERC/PMAP Fund Distribution, 2004-2006
The information in the tables below reflect only the MERC distribution from 1998 - 2003. Up until 2004, both
the MERC and PMAP distributions were distributed and reported separately. However, due to new legislation that
began in 2004, the MERC and PMAP distributions were combined into one distribution occurring once each
summer.
