4. The above referenced violations constitute grounds to
levy this civil penalty pursuant to Section 400.414, Florida

testimony, to call or cross-examine witnesses, to have subpoenas

obtain a formal proceeding under Section 120.57(1), Florida
Statutes, Respondent’s request must state which issues of
material fact are disputed. Failure to dispute material issues
of fact in the request for a hearing may be treated by the
Agency as an election by Respondent for an informal proceeding

hearing should be made to the Agency for Health Care
Administration, Attention: Michael P. Sasso, Senior Attorney,
