Section 471-45-015 - CHANGE OF HOLDER OF PROVIDER AGREEMENT

A holder of a provider agreement receiving payments under 12-011 must notify the Department 60 days before any change or termination regarding the holder of the provider agreement. If any known settlement is due the Department by that provider, payment must be made immediately. If the provider is subject to recapture of depreciation on the anticipated sale or if an audit is in process, the provider will be required to provide a guarantee of repayment of the Department's estimated settlement either by payment of that amount to the Department, providing evidence that another provider receiving payments under this chapter has assumed liability, or by surety bond for payment. All estimated or final amounts, regardless of appeal status, must be paid before the transfer of ownership. The Department will not enter into a provider agreement with a new provider if there is an unpaid settlement payable to the Department by a prior provider of services at the same facility unless the new provider has assumed liability for the unpaid amount. Parties to a facility provider change may receive information about unpaid settlement amounts owed to the Department by making a written request.
