FINAL ORDER
This cause came before me for issuance of a Final Order. In a Final Agency Audit Report
dated May 29, 2003 (audit number C.I. 01-0943-000). Petitioner, MBC Medical Center, Inc. was
informed the Agency was seeking to recover Medicaid overpayments of $122,924.07. The letter
was sent certified mail, return receipt requested to MBC Medical Center (hereinafter
“PROVIDER”), who received said document.
The letter contained full disclosure and notice regarding the PROVIDER’S administrative
hearing and due process rights. The PROVIDER filed a petition for hearing. The PROVIDER
withdrew the petition. Jurisdiction was relinquished by the Division of Administrative Hearings
to the Agency for Health Care Administration.
FINDINGS OF FACTS
The PROVIDER received the Final Agency Audit Report and that report disclosed to the
providers his administrative and due process rights. The PROVIDER filed a petition and later
withdrew the petition. Therefore, petitioner has chosen not to dispute the facts set forth in the
Final Agency Audit Report dated May 29, 2003. Therefore, those facts are hereby deemed
admitted, additionally the total overpayment amount of $122,924.07 is deemed admitted, and
these facts form the factual basis for the existence of an overpayment owed by the PROVIDER,
in the amount of $122,924.07. The facts set forth in the Final Agency Report are hereby adopted.
That amount is now due and owing, with interest, since the date of May 29, 2003.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Agency incorporates and adopts the statements and conclusions of law as set forth in
the Final Agency Audit Report dated May 29, 2003. The admitted facts and facts support the
conclusion that the overpayment is due and owing, under the law generally set forth in the final
audit letter. Under Florida Statute 409, interest accrues on this overpayment from May 29, 2003.
Based on the foregoing, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Petitioner refund, forthwith, the sum of
$122,924.07, together with statutory interest as set forth in Section 409.913, Florida Statutes,
from the date of May 29, 2003.
DONE AND ORDERED this ge day of ##Y ___, 2004, in Tallahassee,
