Section I-4187 - Arrangement to Repay

A. Arrangements to repay may be mutually agreed to or imposed as a sanction on a provider, provider-in-fact or other person. Arrangements to repay identified overpayments, interest, monetary penalties or costs and expenses should be made through a lump sum single payment within 60 days of reaching or imposing the arrangement to repay. However, an agreement to repay may contain installment terms and conditions. In such cases, the repayment period cannot extend two years from the date the agreement is reached or imposed, except that a longer period may be established by the secretary or director of BHSF. In such a case the agreement to repay must be signed by the secretary or director of BHSF.

B. All agreements to repay must contain at least:

1. the amount to be repaid;

2. the person(s) responsible for making the repayments;

3. a specific time table for making the repayment;

4. if installment payments are involved, the date upon which each installment payment is to be made; and

5. the security posted to assure that the repayments will be made, and if not made, the method through which the security can be seized and converted by Medicaid.
