Whenever benefits are paid in noncompliance with the contract, the board retains the right to recover the payments from the party responsible. In case the claims payor is at fault, the amount of overpayment will be withheld from the administrative fees paid by the board. In case overpayments are made because of false or misleading information provided by a member, the claims payor shall attempt to recover the amount. Any moneys recovered shall be credited to the board. In case an overpayment is made because of a mistake or deliberate act by a health care provider, the claims payor shall collect the money from the provider and credit that amount to the board. In cases of suspected fraud, the board may turn the evidence over to the state's attorney or attorney general's office for possible prosecution.
