STATE OF FLORIDA DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS MEMORIAL FAMILY PHARMACY, INC. d/b/a Division of Aerinisu... MEMORIAL PROFESSIONAL PHARMACY, vs. CASE ND. 02-1296 ‘ Date — JZ le 0 STATE OF FLORIDA, AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. FINAL ORDER THIS CAUSE is before me for issuance of a Final Order. On April 12, 2001 the Agency issued its Final Agency Audit Letter, constituting final agency action in this case, demanding $28,281.55 in recoupment of Medicaid overpayments. In due course, the Petitioner, Memorial Family Pharmacy, Inc. d/b/a Memorial Professional Pharmacy (“Petitioner”) petitioned for a formal hearing. In the course of the litigation, the parties entered into a certain stipulation, which is attached hereto as appendix 1. In this stipulation, the facts, issues and circumstances to be decided upon in the case were stipulated and agreed to, pending the Petitioner delivering to the State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration (“Agency”) certain described materials on Medicaid claims for adjustment to the overpayment demanded in the final agency action. Petitioner specifically conceded the overpayment regarding all claims for which it was unable to submit additional documentation. On or about August 9, 2002, Petitioner delivered additional documentation to the Agency. That information was reviewed and the adjustments combined with the terms of the appended stipulation. The overpayment was adjusted to $22,085.28. Therefore, the terms and conditions of the stipulation have been met, and Petitioner, having agreed to the overpayment, there exist now no material facts in dispute. The agreed stipulation and the adjustment place this matter in a posture whereby it may be concluded by entry, by the Agency, of a Final Order. Based on the foregoing, the request for a hearing is dismissed. It is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Petitioner refund forthwith, the sum of $22,085.28, together with statutory interest as is set forth in §409.913(24)(b), Florida Statutes. DONE and ORDERED on Mavlerah wr 7 2002, in Tallahassee, Florida. ele i Rhonda/M.
