FINAL ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before me for issuance of a Final Order. Ina
letter dated May 1, 2000, Petitioner was informed the Agency was
seeking to recoup Medicaid overpayments of $160,058.68.
The letter contained full disclosure and notice regarding
Petitioner’s administrative hearing and due process rights. On
June 14, 2000, Petitioner requested and was granted a formal
administrative hearing to dispute the facts contained in the
letter.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Petitioner received the letter and that the letter
disclosed the Petitioner’s administrative and due process rights.
The Petitioner has chosen to dispute the facts set forth in the
letter. The Petitioner filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Petition
for Formal Hearing dated February 14, 2001 and the Administrative
Law Judge issued an Order Closing File dated February 14, 2001.
Therefore, the facts contained in the final agency audit report
dated May 1, 2000 are deemed admitted.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Agency incorporates and adopts the statements and
conclusions of law as set forth in the letter dated May 1, 2000.
The admitted facts support the conclusion that the amount of the
stated overpayment is due and owing, under the law generally set
forth in the final audit letter.
BASED on the forgoing, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that
Petitioner refund, forthwith, the sum of $160,058.68, together
with statutory interest as set forth in §409.913(24) (b), Florida
Statutes, from the date of assessment.
DONE and ORDERED this [5 day of March. 2001, in
Tallahassee, Florida.
