The appropriate agency or agency designee shall notify the provider in writing of any overpayment identified and the method of recoupment to be used.

(c) Administrative actions and sanctions. Evaluation of a utilization review may result in one or more of the following administrative actions or sanctions by the appropriate agency or the agency's designee:

(1) closure of the review with written notification to the provider;

(2) discussion and interpretation of the utilization review results with the provider;

(3) referral to the appropriate state licensing board or OIG; and

(4) any other remedies authorized by rule, regulation, statute, or contract.
