This Agreement is entered into between the parties for the purpose of avoiding the costs and burdens of litigation, and neither party concedes the other’s position. 2. PROVIDER is a Medicaid provider in the State of Florida. 3. In its final agency audit report dated April 11, 2001, AHCA notified PROVIDER that review of Medicaid claims performed by Medicaid Program Integrity (MPI) indicated that, in its opinion, some claims in whole or in part were not covered by Medicaid. The Agency sought overpayment in the amount of $642,884.00. In response to the audit letter dated Apmil 11, 2001, PROVIDER filed a petition for a formal administrative hearing, which was assigned DOAH Case No. 03-2301 MPL 4. Following the submission of the matter of the overpayment to DOAH for an administrative hearing, the Petitioner submitted additional documentation. Based upon a review of such additional documentation, it has been determined that an actual overpayment of $11,793.93 exists with which the Petitioner agrees. 5. In order to resolve this matter without further administrative proceedings, PROVIDER and the AHCA expressly agree as follows: (A) | AHCA agrees to accept the payment set forth herein in settlement of the overpayment issues arising from the MPI review. (B) Within thirty days of receipt of the final order, PROVIDER agrees to make a single payment of Eleven Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety Three and 93/100 dollars. All unpaid amounts shall incur interest at the statutory rate as provided in Section 409.913(24), Florida Statutes. | Payment of this amount shall constitute full and complete settlement of the matter now before the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH Case No 03-2301 MPI).

No. 00-1827-000-3/H/KNH. (D) PROVIDER agrees that it will not re-bill the Medicaid Program in any manner for claims that were not covered by Medicaid, which are the subject of the audit in this case. 6. Payment shall be made to: AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION Medicaid Accounts Receivable Post Office Box 13749 Tallahassee, Florida 32317-3749 7. PROVIDER agrees that failure to pay any monies due and owing under the terms of this Agreement shall constitute PROVIDER’S authorization for the Agency, without further notice, to withhold the total remaining amount due under the terms of this agreement from any monies due and owing to PROVIDER for any Medicaid claims. 8. AHCA reserves the right to enforce this Agreement under the laws of the State of Florida, the Rules of the Medicaid Program, and all other applicable rules and regulations. 9.
