048-7 Wyo. Code R. § 7-27

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 7-27 - Change in Provider Status

(a) Termination of participation. If a provider's participation in the Medicaid program is terminated or suspended for any reason, the provider shall submit a cost report for the period ending with the effective date of the termination or suspension if that cost report is needed for rate setting. The cost report is due within forty-five (45) days after the date of termination or suspension, even though the provider's tax period does not end on the date of termination or suspension. The final month's payment due a provider shall be withheld until its cost report is filed and the Department has a reasonable time to perform a desk review and field audit of the cost report and patient funds account.

(b) Change of ownership.

  • (i) Notice of change of ownership. The parties to a transaction involving a change of ownership shall notify the Department, in writing, of the proposed transaction no later than thirty (30) days before the effective date of the change.
  • (ii) Representation agreement. Upon a change of ownership, all parties to the transaction shall have thirty (30) days after the change to complete and sign a representation statement, in written form specified by the Department, which details the persons or entities which have assumed the assets and liabilities of a nursing facility. If a representation statement is not timely submitted, both the original provider and any subsequent provider shall be jointly and severally responsible for all Medicaid liabilities which exist either before or after the change of ownership.
