Respondent, the State of Florida, Agency for Health
Care Administration, and Petitioner, Halifax Medical Center,
by and through the undersigned individuals, hereby stipulate
and agree as follows:
1. This settlement agreement is entered into between the
parties in order to resolve a dispute that arose as the
result of an Agency audit.
2. Ina final agency audit letter dated January 11,
2001, Petitioner was informed that the Agency determined
that it was overpaid. Consequently, Respondent sought
recoupment in the amount of $84,724.53. A copy of the
recoupment letter is attached to this agreement.
3. In a petition dated January 24, 2001, Petitioner
challenged Respondent’s action and requested an
administrative hearing regarding the overpayment.
4. Subsequently, Respondent reviewed additional
documentation presented to the Agency regarding the claims
in question. After this subsequent review, Respondent
recalculated the overpayment amount.
5. Accordingly, Respondent no longer contends that
Petitioner owes Respondent $84,724.53. The recalculated
overpayment amount is $59,474.36.
6. The Agency agrees to allow the Petitioner, Halifax

$59,474.36 within sixty days (60) of receipt of the Final
Order.

8. In the event the Petitioner fails to make any
payment due hereunder, the Respondent may, at its option and
upon fifteen days written notice to Petitioner, declare
Petitioner in default. Its provider number shall be
suspended until such time as the Agency receives payment of
the balance in full.
9. This settlement does not constitute an admission of
wrongdoing or error by either party. However, the parties
believe that this matter should be settled.
10. Both parties request that the above-referenced
file be closed.
11. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and
costs.
12. This agreement represents the entire agreement
between the parties regarding settlement of this case. No
