Idaho Admin. Code r. 16.03.22.925

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 16.03.22.925 - ENFORCEMENT ACTION OF CIVIL MONETARY PENALTIES
01.Civil Monetary Penalties. May be issued when a facility is operating without a license, repeat deficiencies are identified, or the facility fails to comply with conditions of the provisional license. Actual harm to a resident or residents does not need to be shown. A single act, omission, or incident will not give rise to imposition of multiple penalties, even though such act, omission, or incident may violate more than one (1) rule.
02.Assessment Amount for Civil Monetary Penalty. When civil monetary penalties are imposed, such penalties are assessed for each day the facility is or was out of compliance. The amounts below are multiplied by the total number of occupied licensed beds according to the records of the Department at the time non-compliance is established.
a. Repeat deficiency is ten dollars ($10). Example below:

Number of Occupied Beds in Facility

Repeat Deficiency

Times Number of Days Out of Compliance

Amount of Penalty

11

$10.00

30 days

$3,300

b. In any ninety (90) day period, the penalty amounts may not exceed the limits shown in the following table:

151 or More Beds

$29,200

03.Notice of Civil Monetary Penalties and Appeal Rights. The Department will give written notice informing the facility of the amount of the penalty, the basis for its assessment and the facility's appeal rights.
04.Payment of Penalties. The facility must pay the full amount of the penalty within thirty (30) calendar days from the date the notice is received, unless the facility requests an administrative review of the decision to assess the penalty. The amount of a civil monetary penalty determined through administrative review must be paid within thirty (30) calendar days of the facility's receipt of the administrative review decision unless the facility requests an administrative hearing. The amount of the civil monetary penalty determined through an administrative hearing must be paid within thirty (30) calendar days of the facility's receipt of the administrative hearing decision unless the facility files a petition for judicial review. Interest accrues on all unpaid penalties at the legal rate of interest for judgments. Such interest accruement will begin one (1) calendar day after the date of the initial assessment of the penalty.
05.Failure to Pay. Failure of a facility to pay the entire penalty, together with any interest, is cause for revocation of the license or the amount will be withheld from Medicaid payments to the facility.
