Payment for services is made subject to this subchapter, Subchapter B for psychiatric transitional facilities, and Chapter 1101 (relating to general provisions). The upper limit of payment of the MA Program is specified in § 1181.68 (relating to upper limits of payment).

(c) Any section of this subchapter may not be applied or interpreted out of context.

(d) Extensions of time will be as follows:

(1) The time limits established by this chapter for the filing of an application, cost report, waiver request or appeal cannot be extended except as provided in this section.

(2) Extensions of time in addition to the time otherwise prescribed for providers by this chapter with respect to the filing of an application, cost report, waiver request or appeal may be permitted only if required because of a breakdown in Department procedures justifying relief nunc pro tunc or because of an intervening natural disaster making timely compliance impossible or unsafe.

(3) This subsection supersedes 1 Pa. Code §31.15 (relating to extensions of time).
