42-4-116. Premium calculation.
(a) The calculation of premium for services under W.S. 42-4-115 shall be as follows:

(iii) Divide the resulting expenses calculated pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this subsection by the clients remaining after the deduction pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this subsection. The result is the basic annual premium;
(iv) Add to the basic premium a risk factor of fifty percent (50%) of the basic premium to recover additional costs incurred by the population eligible to be served pursuant to W.S. 42-4-115; and
(v) The premium shall be the sum of the basic annual premium calculated pursuant to paragraph (iii) of this subsection and the risk factor calculated pursuant to paragraph (iv) of this subsection.
