Section 10.37.12.03 - Penalties

A. The Commission may impose penalties of up to $1,000 per day, which shall be instead of the $100 per day penalty for failing to file reports as set forth in COMAR 10.37.01.03N, for a required report submitted by a hospital that includes information which has the effect of violating Regulation .02 of this chapter. The report shall be considered substantially inaccurate and untimely filed.

B. A hospital that violates the provisions of Regulation .02 of this chapter shall, in addition to any penalties imposed under §A of this regulation, be subject to the overcharge and undercharge penalties contained in COMAR 10.37.03.05N, which shall be applied to the difference between what was actually charged by the hospital and what the hospital would have been required to charge under a valid Commission rate order based on accurate information filed. In addition, the Commission may revoke any discount previously granted under COMAR 10.37.10.26N to a third party that participates in an arrangement determined by the Commission to constitute an unapproved discount or otherwise violates the provisions of Regulation .02 of this chapter.
