Sec.17a-17-15. Post-audit adjustments

(a) If an audit of the treatment center's records reveals errors which have resulted in overpayment to the treatment center, the department in consultation with SDE may make further adjustments to the per diem payment rate(s) for the treatment center or may request immediate reimbursement for this overpayment. In the case of adjustments to be made to the per diem payment rate(s), the department will provide 30 days notice to the treatment center and an opportunity for the treatment center to review the audit report. The Commissioner may request financial assurances from the treatment center in the event the treatment center has been cited by the department or SDE on more than one occasion for erroneous reports.

(b) If an audit of the treatment center's records reveals an underpayment to the treatment center, the department in consultation with SDE, may make further adjustments to the per diem payment rate(s) for the treatment center or, if the treatment center is no longer receiving per diem payments, appropriate reimbursement may be made.
