Section 471-46-017 - ADJUSTMENT TO RATE

Changes to Medicaid total allowable costs as a result of error, audit, or investigation may become the basis for adjusting current or prior prospective rates. The adjustment will be made back to the initial date of payment for the period affected based on the rate as determined by the Department. Hospitals will receive written notice of any adjustment stating the amount of the adjustment and the basis for the adjustment. If the rate adjustment results in decreasing a hospital's rate, the hospital shall refund the overpayment amount as determined by the Department to the Department. If the rate adjustment results in increasing a hospital's rate, the Department shall reimburse the underpayment amount as determined by the Department to the hospital.
