AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. / SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT STATE OF FLORIDA, AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION (“AHCA” or “the Agency”), and Izz & Sons, Inc. d/b/a Robert’s Drug Store (“PROVIDER”), by and through the undersigned, hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 1, This Agreement is entered into between the parties for the purpose of resolving the disputes between them as set forth in the Agency’s Final Audit Letter under case number 01- 1155. The parties seek to avoid the costs and burdens of further litigation. Neither party concedes the other’s position or admits any wrongdoing. 2. PROVIDER is a Medicaid provider in the State of Florida, provider number 106388000. 3. In its final agency audit report (final agency action) dated January 22, 2001, AHCA notified PROVIDER that review of Medicaid claims performed by Medicaid Program Integrity (MPI), Office of the Inspector General, indicated that certain claims, in whole or in part, were not covered by Medicaid. The Agency sought recoupment of this overpayment, in the Izz & Sons, Inc. d/b/a Robert’s Drug Store Settlement Agreement amount of $102,729.16. In response to the audit letter dated January 22, 2001, PROVIDER filed a petition for a formal administrative hearing, which was assigned DOAH Case No. 01-1155. 4. The DOAH case was closed on July 26, 2001 pending re-review and possible settlement. AHCA re-reviewed the PROVIDER’s claims and evaluated additional documentation submitted by the PROVIDER. As a result, AHCA determined that the overpayment was adjusted to $50,051.00. 5. Settlement, however, could not be reached and the case was re-opened September 17, 2002 under case number 02-02-3586. Additional documentation was presented by PROVIDER, resulting in the overpayment being adjusted to $36,367.79. 6. In order to resolve this matter without further litigation, PROVIDER and the AHCA agree as follows: qd) AHCA agrees to accept the payment set forth herein in settlement of the overpayment issues arising from the captioned MPI review. (2) Within thirty days of receipt of the Agency Final Order, PROVIDER agrees to pay thirty six thousand three hundred sixty seven dollars and seventy nine cents ($36,367.79) in full and complete settlement of all claims in the proceedings before the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH Case No. 02-3586). (3) | PROVIDER and AHCA agree that full payment as set forth above will resolve and settle this case completely and release both parties from all liabilities arising from the findings in the audit referenced as C.I. 00-1069- 000-3. Izz & Sons, Inc. d/b/a Robert's Drug Store Settlement Agreement (4) | PROVIDER agrees that it will not rebill the Medicaid Program in any manner for claims that were not covered by Medicaid, which are the subject of the audit in this case. (5) The review of this matter by AHCA did not indicate fraud or abuse of the Medicaid program, and appeared to be a matter of inadvertence and misunderstanding on the part of the PROVIDER. 7. Payment shal! be made to: AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION Medicaid Accounts Receivable Post Office Box 13749 Tallahassee, Florida 32317-3749 8.
