Findings Of Fact At all times pertinent to the issues herein either the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, (Department), or the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, (Agency), its successor agency, operated the Medicaid Program in Florida, a state and federally funded program to provide medical services to indigent and eligible individuals, including children, in Florida. Petitioner, Neonatology Associates, Inc., (NAI), is a provider to the Medicaid Program of the State of Florida, and is located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Its Medicaid provider number is 067920-01. It has been a Medicaid provider for approximately thirty years. Medicaid and Children's Medical Services (CMS) were, at one time, both separate components of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. On July 1, 1993, responsibility for Medicaid was assigned to the Agency for Health Care Administration. Medicaid, and its fiscal agent, FMMIS, are not now and never have been a part of either Children's Medical Services or Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center (RPICC) and neither CMS nor RPICC have ever been a part of Medicaid or its fiscal agent. RPICC serves only peripherally to Medicaid as a claims transmittal agency or billing agent. That relationship was formalized by a contract which is considered by FMMIS as a billing agent contract. The parties stipulated prior to the hearing that the medical services, which are represented by Petitioner to have been performed were actually performed and rendered, and that all of the patients for the disputed claims are assumed to be Medicaid eligible. The parties stipulated at the hearing that the five claims were submitted by Petitioner to RPICC in a timely manner; that the five claims were received by RPICC within a twelve month period from the date of service; that there was a problem at RPICC which precluded the transmittal of these five claims in a timely manner to the Florida Medicaid Management Information System, (FMMIS), the office with which they were to be filed for payment; and that there was communication by telephone and in person between officials of Petitioner, RPICC, and the Department/Agency, (CMS), in an effort to resolve the filing difficulty. These claims relate to five patients, M.H., M.C., C.J., B.A. and R.W. Claims which are not received by Medicaid or its fiscal agent within twelve months of service may not be paid pursuant to law described in the trade as the "twelve month rule." The five claims in issue here were transmitted electronically to RPICC by NAI's agent, Ms. Chandler, the RPICC billing clerk at All Children's Hospital, where the service was rendered, for subsequent re- transmittal by RPICC to FMMIS. This procedure is authorized by the Agency. However, due to technical problems not further identified, the claims were never received by FMMIS. RPICC, a part of the Department's Children's Medical Services, and operated by the University of Florida, does not adjudicate claims but merely gathers and analyzes neonatology data for statistical reporting. FMMIS, Medicaid's fiscal agent since July 1, 1993, is operated by a private vendor. The contract between Medicaid and the University under which RPICC data services are provided, and that between NAI and Medicaid, which provides for medical services, both contain the same "boiler plate" clauses. Both NAI and RPICC transmit electronic claims to Medicaid for adjudication, but neither is a party of or agent of Medicaid. FMMIS is Medicaid's agent for payment. RPICC data processing services charges are paid to the University of Florida by Children's Medical Services under their contract. Medicaid pays only for the actual medical care provided to indigent mothers and their sick newborn children. NAI has a contract with Medicaid. RPICC has a contract with Medicaid. Children's Medical Services has a contract with RPICC at the University of Florida. These are the only formal agreements involved in this situation. The contract between NAI and Medicaid provides that NAI will submit Medicaid claims "in accordance with program policies." Medicaid policy provides that receipt of electronic claims submission to Medicaid or its fiscal agent, FMMIS, takes place only upon acceptance and confirmation by FMMIS. Acceptance occurs when each claim is assigned its own identification number. Medicaid policy also provides that submittal of a claim to RPICC does not constitute receipt of the claim by Medicaid or its fiscal agent, and submittal of a claim to RPICC does not toll the running of time accounted for under the twelve month rule. The relationship between Medicaid and the RPICC data center may be likened to that of RPICC's being a billing transmittal agent for FMMIS. RPICC does not process claims submitted to it but merely forwards those it receives to the fiscal agent which operates the FMMIS. Medicaid, by letter from Mr. Thomas Arnold, dated March 5, 1990, authorized FMMIS to receive Medicaid claims from RPICC. That letter does no more than offer providers an option to have RPICC bill the fiscal agent for them, thereby creating a "billing agent" status for RPICC. It does not state that submittal of claims by providers to RPICC constitutes filing a claim with Medicaid or the fiscal agent so as to toll the running of the twelve months limit. The Medicaid Physician Provider Handbook made available to all providers expressly states that all claim inquiries be made to Consultec, a private computer services provider. Both Mr. Blasioli and the Agency's regional claims representative noted that NAI did not contact Consultec regarding the computer problems regarding the instant claims prior to the expiration of the twelve month claim filing limit. Neither did NAI make use of RPICC's internal claims tracking system during the period in issue. The evidence establishes that NAI experienced difficulty in submitting the five claims in issue. Nonetheless, within a month of being employed by NAI, its billing administrator advised Medicaid that he had addressed the problem and had established procedures with RPICC's data center to prevent future claims from exceeding the twelve month limit. NAI's difficulty with the five claims in issue were first brought to the attention of Medicaid personnel after the twelve month filing limit had expired. Though the claims in issue here were submitted electronically, NAI could have submitted these claims directly to FMMIS by traditional paper claim, omitting the RPICC channel and its potential for technical problems. It chose not to do so. The "twelve month rule" provides for exceptions which are expressly limited to those claims which are delayed by either legal action or lack of proof of recipient eligibility. An additional exception is afforded claims delayed by "crossovers" with Medicare. The rule does not provide for extension of time due to computer system error unless such error relates to processing errors which arise subsequent to Medicaid's acknowledgment of claim receipt. In essence, to justify an exception to the twelve month rule, the computer error must be Medicaid's. The Medicaid program cannot deviate from federally imposed requirements. Should it do so, it faces the potential loss of federal expenditure reimbursement which constitutes fifty-five percent of all money spent by Florida in its operation of the Medicaid program. The program processes 100,000,000 claims annually from more than 60,000 providers, paying out approximately $6,700,000,000 each year. Even minor exceptions to the rules governing the adjudication process could have extensive impact on and consequences to the program and the benefits it imparts to the indigent health care recipients it serves.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is recommended that the Agency for Health Care Administration enter a final order denying as untimely Petitioner's five claims in issue.

The Issue Whether Petitioner's Medicaid Waiver Services Agreement should be terminated with cause by Respondent Agency for Persons with Disabilities.
Findings Of Fact The Agency for Health Care Administration ("AHCA") is Florida's designated Medicaid agent pursuant to chapter 409, Florida Statutes. In that role, AHCA has delegated duties with respect to the MWSA to Agency for Persons with Disabilities ("APD" or "Respondent"). APD ensures that Medicaid waiver providers comply with applicable Medicaid rules. To ensure compliance, APD enters into a MWSA with providers to facilitate payment. AHCA pays the providers for services rendered according to the MWSA. On April 22, 2015, Petitioner entered into a MWSA with Respondent. As a qualified provider, the MWSA allowed Petitioner to perform services for APD clients and get paid through the Medicaid program by reimbursement. Section I.B. of the MWSA provides: Prior to executing this Agreement and furnishing any waiver services, the Provider must have executed a Medicaid Provider Agreement with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), and be issued a Medicaid provider number by AHCA. The Provider must at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain a current and valid Medicaid Provider Agreement with AHCA, and comply with the terms and conditions of the Medicaid Provider Agreement. On or about August 3, 2017, AHCA terminated Petitioner's Medicaid Provider Agreement and notified Petitioner by letter that "Medicaid will no longer pay for claims for reimbursement for goods or services that you furnish." APD investigated AHCA's termination and concluded that Petitioner did not comply with section I.B. of the MWSA that required Petitioner to maintain a current and valid Medicaid Provider Agreement with AHCA. On October 5, 2017, by letter, APD terminated Petitioner's MWSA pursuant to section III.B., which provides Petitioner's "agreement may be terminated for the Provider's unacceptable performance, non-performance or misconduct." APD's letter detailed the basis for Petitioner's termination as follows: Provider's Medicaid Provider Number was terminated by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) on September 2, 2017. Therefore, the Provider is not performing in accordance with the MWSA, Section I., B., which requires that "The Provider must at all times during the term of this Agreement, maintain a current and valid Medicaid Provider Agreement with AHCA, and comply with the terms and conditions of the Medicaid Provider Agreement. At hearing, Petitioner admitted that Respondent terminated the MWSA when APD became aware of ACHA's termination. Petitioner also acknowledged that Miracles House, Inc., has been unable to bill since ACHA suspended its services, but Whipple is contesting ACHA's actions. On or about October 27, 2017, Petitioner challenged APD's termination and timely requested a formal hearing.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Agency for Persons with Disabilities enter a final order terminating Petitioner's Medicaid Waiver Services Agreement.

The Issue Whether Medicaid overpayments were made to Respondent and, if so, what is the total amount of those overpayments. Whether, as a "sanction," Respondent should be directed to submit to a "comprehensive follow-up review in six months."
Findings Of Fact Based upon the evidence adduced at hearing, and the record as a whole, the following findings s of fact are made to supplement and clarify the factual stipulations set forth in the parties' Joint Prehearing Stipulation and their January 26, 2007, pleading:4 Respondent and his Practice Respondent is a pediatric physician whose office is located in a poor neighborhood in Hialeah, Florida. He has a very busy practice, seeing approximately 50 to 60 patients each day the office is open. Respondent documents patient visits by making handwritten notations on printed "progress note" forms. Because of the fast-paced nature of his practice, he does not always "have time to write everything as [he] would like, because [there] is too much" for him to do. Respondent's Participation in the Medicaid Program During the Audit Period, Respondent was authorized to provide physician services to eligible Medicaid patients. Respondent provided such services pursuant to a valid Provider Agreement (Provider Agreement) with AHCA, which contained the following provisions, among others: The Provider agrees to participate in the Florida Medicaid program under the following terms and conditions: * * * Quality of Services. The provider agrees to provide medically necessary services or goods of not less than the scope and quality it provides to the general public. The provider agrees that services or goods billed to the Medicaid program must be medically necessary, of a quality comparable to those furnished by the provider's peers, and within the parameters permitted by the provider's license or certification. The provider further agrees to bill only for the services performed within the specialty or specialties designated in the provider application on file with the Agency. The services or goods must have been actually provided to eligible Medicaid recipients by the provider prior to submitting the claim. Compliance. The provider agrees to comply with all local, state and federal laws, rules, regulations, licensure laws, Medicaid bulletins, manuals, handbooks and Statements of Policy as they may be amended from time to time. Term and signatures. The parties agree that this is a voluntary agreement between the Agency and the provider, in which the provider agrees to furnish services or goods to Medicaid recipients. . . . Provider Responsibilities. The Medicaid provider shall: * * * (b) Keep and maintain in a systematic and orderly manner all medical and Medicaid related records as the Agency may require and as it determines necessary; make available for state and federal audits for five years, complete and accurate medical, business, and fiscal records that fully justify and disclose the extent of the goods and services rendered and billings made under the Medicaid. The provider agrees that only records made at the time the goods and services were provided will be admissible in evidence in any proceeding relating to the Medicaid program. * * * (d) Except as otherwise provided by law, the provider agrees to provide immediate access to authorized persons (including but not limited to state and federal employees, auditors and investigators) to all Medicaid- related information, which may be in the form of records, logs, documents, or computer files, and all other information pertaining to services or goods billed to the Medicaid program. This shall include access to all patient records and other provider information if the provider cannot easily separate records for Medicaid patients from other records. * * * (f) Within 90 days of receipt, refund any moneys received in error or in excess of the amount to which the provider is entitled from the Medicaid program. * * * (i) . . . . The provider shall be liable for all overpayments for any reason and pay to the Agency any fine or overpayment imposed by the Agency or a court of competent jurisdiction. Provider agrees to pay interest at 12% per annum on any fine or repayment amount that remains unpaid 30 days from the date of any final order requiring payment to the Agency. * * * Respondent's Medicaid provider number (under which he billed the Medicaid program for providing these services) was (and remains) 370947700. Handbook Provisions The handbooks with which Petitioner was required to comply in order to receive Medicaid payment for services rendered during the Audit Period included the Medicaid Provider Reimbursement Handbook, HCFA-1500 (MPR Handbook); Physician Coverage and Limitations Handbook (PCL Handbook); the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment Coverage and Limitations Handbook (EPSDTCL Handbook); and the Child Health Check-up Coverage and Limitations Handbook (CHCUCL Handbook). Medical Necessity The PCL Handbook provided that the Medicaid program would reimburse physician providers for services "determined [to be] medically necessary" and not duplicative of another provider's service, and it went on to state as follows: In addition, the services must meet the following criteria: the services must be individualized, specific, consistent with symptoms or confirmed diagnosis of the illness or injury under treatment, and not in excess of the recipient's needs; the services cannot be experimental or investigational; the services must reflect the level of services that can be safely furnished and for which no equally effective and more conservative or less costly treatment is available statewide; and the services must be furnished in a manner not primarily intended for the convenience of the recipient, the recipient's caretaker, or the provider. The fact that a provider has prescribed, recommended, or approved medical or allied care, goods, or services does not, in itself, make such care, goods or services medically necessary or a covered services. Note See Appendix D, Glossary, in the Medicaid Provider Reimbursement Handbook, HCFA-1500 and EPSDT 224, for the definition of medically necessary.[5] The EPSDTCL and CHCUCL Handbooks had similar provisions. Documentation Requirements The MPR Handbook required the provider to keep "accessible, legible and comprehensible" medical records that "state[d] the necessity for and the extent of services" billed the Medicaid program and that were "signed and dated at the time of service." The handbook further required, among other things, that the provider retain such records for "at least five years from the date of service" and "send, at his or her expense, legible copies of all Medicaid-related information to the authorized state and federal agencies and their authorized representatives." The MPR Handbook warned that providers "not in compliance with the Medicaid documentation and record retention policies [described therein] may be subject to administrative sanctions and recoupment of Medicaid payments" and that "Medicaid payments for services that lack required documentation or appropriate signatures will be recouped." EPSDT Screening/Child Health Check-Up The EPSDTCL Handbook provided: To be reimbursed by Medicaid, the provider must address and document in the recipient's medical record all the required components of an EPSDT screening. The following required components are listed in the order that they appear on the optional EPSDT screening form: Health and developmental history Nutritional assessment Developmental assessment Physical examination Dental screening Vision screening Hearing screening Laboratory tests Immunization Health education Diagnosis and treatment The CHCUCL Handbook, which replaced the EPSDTCL Handbook in or around May 2000, similarly provided as follows: To be reimbursed by Medicaid, the provider must assess and document in the child's medical record all the required components of a Child Health Check-Up. The required components are as follows: Comprehensive Health and Developmental History, including assessment of past medical history, developmental history and behavioral health status; Nutritional assessment; Developmental assessment; Comprehensive Unclothed Physical Examination Dental screening including dental referral, where required; Vision screening including objective testing, where required; Hearing screening including objective testing, where required; Laboratory tests including blood lead testing, where required; Appropriate immunizations; Health education, anticipatory guidance; Diagnosis and treatment; and Referral and follow-up, as appropriate. Coding Chapter 3 of the PCL Handbook "describe[d] the procedure codes for the services reimbursable by Medicaid that [had to be] used by physicians providing services to eligible recipients." As explained on the first page of this chapter of the handbook: The procedure codes listed in this chapter [were] Health Care Financing Administration Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Levels 1, 2 and 3. These [were] based on the Physician[]s['] Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) book. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) book referred to in Chapter 3 of the PCL Handbook was a publication of the American Medical Association. It contained a listing of procedures and services performed by physicians in different settings, each identified by a "procedure code" consisting of five digits or a letter followed by four digits. For instance, there were various "procedure codes" for office visits. These "procedure codes" included the following, among others: New Patient * * * 99204 Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient which requires these three key components: a comprehensive history; a comprehensive examination; and medical decision making of moderate complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are of moderate to high severity. Physicians typically spend 45 minutes face-to-face with the patient and/or family. * * * Established Patient * * * 99213 Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, which requires at least two of these three key components: an expanded problem focused history; an expanded problem focused examination; medical decision making of low complexity. Counseling and coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are of low to moderate severity. Physicians typically spend 15 minutes face-to-face with the patient and/or family. 99214 Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, which requires at least two of these three key components: a detailed history; a detailed examination; medical decision making of moderate complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are of moderate to high severity. Physicians typically spend 25 minutes face-to-face with the patient and/or family. * * * Fee Schedules In Appendix J of the PCL Handbook, there was a "fee schedule," which established the amount physicians would be paid by the Medicaid program for each reimbursable procedure and service (identified by "procedure code"). For both "new patient" office visits (99201-99205 "procedure code" series) and "established patient" office visits (99211-99215 "procedure code" series), the higher numbered the "procedure code" in the series, the more a physician would be reimbursed under the "fee schedule." The Audit and Aftermath Commencing in or around August 2002, AHCA conducted an audit of Respondent's Medicaid claims for services rendered during the Audit Period (Audit Period Claims).6 Respondent had submitted 18,102 such Audit Period Claims, for which he had received payments totaling $596,623.15. These Audit Period Claims involved 1,372 different Medicaid patients. From this group, AHCA randomly selected a "cluster sample" of 40 patients. Of the 18,102 Audit Period Claims, 713 had been for services that, according to the claims, had been provided to the 40 patients in the "cluster sample" (Sample Claims). Respondent had received a total of $23,263.18 for these 713 Sample Claims. During an August 28, 2002, visit to Respondent's office, AHCA personnel "explain[ed] to [Respondent] what the audit was about [and] why [AHCA] was doing it" and requested Respondent to provide AHCA with copies of the medical records Respondent had on file for the 40 patients in the "cluster sample" documenting the services provided to them during the Audit Period. The originals of these records were not inspected by AHCA personnel or agents during, or any time after, this August 28, 2002, site visit. Sometime within approximately 30 to 45 days of the August 28, 2002, site visit, Respondent, through his office staff, made the requested copies (First Set of Copies) and provided them to AHCA. There is nothing on the face of these documents to suggest that they were not true, accurate, and complete copies of the originals in Respondent's possession, as they existed at the time of copying (Copied Originals). They do not appear, upon visual examination, to be the product of "bad photocopying." While the handwritten entries and writing are oftentimes difficult (at least for the undersigned) to decipher, this is because of the poor legibility of the handwriting, not because the copies are faint or otherwise of poor quality. Each of the Sample Claims was reviewed to determine whether it was supported by information contained in the First Set of Copies. An initial review was conducted by AHCA Program Analyst Theresa Mock and AHCA Registered Nurse Consultant Blanca Notman. AHCA then contracted with Larry Deeb, M.D., to conduct an independent "peer review" in accordance with the provisions of Section 409.9131, Florida Statutes. Since 1980, Dr. Deeb has been a Florida-licensed pediatric physician, certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, in active practice in Tallahassee. AHCA provided Dr. Deeb with the First Set of Copies, along with worksheets containing a "[l]isting of [a]ll claims in [the] sample" on which Ms. Notman had made handwritten notations indicating her preliminary determination as to each of the Sample Claims (Claims Worksheets). In conducting his "peer review," Dr. Deeb did not interview any of the 40 patients in the "cluster sample," nor did he take any other steps to supplement the information contained in the documents that he was provided. Dr. Deeb examined the First Set of Copies. He conveyed to AHCA his findings regarding the sufficiency of these documents to support the Sample Claims by making appropriate handwritten notations on the Claims Worksheets before returning them to AHCA. Based on Dr. Deeb's sufficiency findings, as well as Ms. Notman's "no documentation" determinations, AHCA "provisional[ly]" determined that Respondent had been overpaid a total $80,788.23 for the Audit Period Claims. By letter dated July 7, 2003 (Provisional Agency Audit Report), AHCA advised Petitioner of this "provisional" determination and invited Respondent to "submit further documentation in support of the claims identified as overpayment," adding that "[d]ocumentation that appear[ed] to be altered, or in any other way appear[ed] not to be authentic, [would] not serve to reduce the overpayment." Appended to the letter were "[t]he audit work papers [containing a] listing [of] the claims that [were] affected by this determination." In the Provisional Agency Audit Report, AHCA gave the following explanation as to how it arrived at its overpayment determination: REVIEW DETERMINATION(S) Medicaid policy defines the varying levels of care and expertise required for the evaluation and management procedure codes for office visits. The documentation you provided supports a lower level of office visit than the one for which you billed and received payment. The difference between the amount you were paid and the correct payment for the appropriate level of service is considered an overpayment. Medicaid policy specifies how medical records must be maintained. A review of your medical records revealed that some services for which you billed and received payment were not documented. Medicaid requires documentation of the services and considers payment made for services not appropriately documented an overpayment. Medicaid policy addresses specific billing requirements and procedures. You billed Medicaid for Child Health Check Up (CHCUP) services and office visits for the same child on the same day. Child Health Check- Up Providers may only bill for one visit, a Child Health Check-Up or a sick visit. The difference between the amount you were paid and the appropriate fee is considered an overpayment. The overpayment was calculated as follows: A random sample of 40 recipients respecting whom you submitted 713 claims was reviewed. For those claims in the sample which have dates of service from January 01, 2000 through December 31, 2001 an overpayment of $4,168.00 or $5.84667601 per claim was found, as indicated on the accompanying schedule. Since you were paid for a total (population) of 18,102 claims for that period, the point estimate of the total overpayment is 18,102 x $5.84667601= $105,836.33. There is a 50 percent probability that the overpayment to you is that amount or more. There was then an explanation of the "statistical formula for cluster sampling" that AHCA used and how it "calculated that the overpayment to [Respondent was] $80,788.23 with a ninety-five percent (95%) probability that it [was] that amount or more." After receiving the Provisional Agency Audit Report, Respondent requested to meet with Dr. Deeb to discuss Dr. Deeb's sufficiency findings. The meeting was held on September 25, 2003, approximately six months after Dr. Deeb had reviewed the First Set of Copies and a year after AHCA had received the First Set of Copies from Respondent. At the meeting, Respondent presented to Dr. Deeb what Respondent represented was a better set of copies of the Copied Originals than the First Set of Copies (on which Dr. Deeb had based the sufficiency findings AHCA relied on in making its "provisional" overpayment determination). According to Respondent, the First Set of Copies "had not been properly Xeroxed." He stated that his office staff "had not copied the back section of the documentation and that was one of the major factors in the documentation not supporting the [claimed] level of service." The copies that Respondent produced at this meeting (Second Set of Copies) had additional handwritten entries and writing (both on the backs and fronts of pages) not found in the First Set of Copies: the backs of "progress note" pages that were completely blank in the First Set of Copies contained handwritten narratives, and there were handwritten entries and writing in numerous places on the fronts of these pages where, on the fronts of the corresponding pages in the First Set of Copies, just blank, printed lines appeared (with no other discernible markings). The Second Set of Copies was not appreciably clearer than the First Set of Copies. In the two hours that he had set aside to meet with Respondent, Dr. Deeb only had time to conduct a "quick[]," partial review of the Second Set of Copies. Based on this review (which involved looking at documents concerning approximately half of the 40 patients in the "cluster sample"), Dr. Deeb preliminarily determined to "allow" many of the Sample Claims relating to these patients that he had previously determined (based on his review of the First Set of Copies) were not supported by sufficient documentation. Following this September 25, 2003, meeting, after comparing the Second Set of Copies with the First Set of Copies and noting the differences between the two, AHCA "made the decision that [it] would not accept the [S]econd [S]et [of Copies]" because these documents contained entries and writing that appeared to have been made, not contemporaneously with the provision of the goods or services they purported to document (as required), but rather after the post-Audit Period preparation of the First Set of Copies. Instead, AHCA, reasonably, based its finalized overpayment determination on the First Set of Copies. Thereafter, AHCA prepared and sent to Respondent a Final Agency Audit Report, which was in the form of a letter dated June 29, 2004, advising Respondent that AHCA had finalized the "provisional" determination announced in the Provisional Agency Audit that he had been overpaid $80,788.23 for the Audit Period Claims (a determination that the preponderance of the record evidence in this case establishes is a correct one).

DONE AND ENTERED this 30th day of April, 2007, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. S STUART M. LERNER Administrative Law Judge Division of Administrative Hearings The DeSoto Building 1230 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3060 (850) 488-9675 SUNCOM 278-9675 Fax Filing (850) 921-6847 www.doah.state.fl.us Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 30th day of April, 2007.
The Issue The issue in this case is whether the parties’ agreement in paragraph 9 of the Medicaid Provider Agreement was to allow for arbitrary and capricious termination without cause.
Findings Of Fact On October 10, 1995, the Petitioner, Food With A Flair, Inc., entered into a Non-Institutional Professional and Technical Medicaid Provider Agreement (the Provider Agreement) with the Respondent, the Agency for Health Care Administration (the AHCA). Through this Provider Agreement, the Petitioner became a participant in the Florida Medicaid Program administered by the AHCA. The Petitioner’s role in the Program was to provide meals for the Program’s HIV clients. The Provider Agreement had 12 numbered paragraphs, 8 and 9 of which stated: The provider and the Agency agree to abide by the Florida Administrative Code, Florida Statutes, policies, procedures, manuals of the Florida Medicaid Program and Federal laws and regulations. The agreement may be terminated upon thirty days written notice by either party. The Agency may terminate this agreement in accordance with Chapter 120, F.S. During the time the Petitioner was providing meals under the Provider Agreement, the AHCA received complaints about the meals being provided by the Petitioner and the manner in which the Petitioner’s meals and services were being provided. Although the complainants have not been identified, some may have been competitors of the Petitioner, and some were anonymous. The AHCA investigated the complaints and decided that, if true, they were serious enough to warrant termination of the Petitioner’s Provider Agreement. However, the AHCA chose not to terminate the Petitioner’s Provider Agreement for cause out of concern that the release of the identity of some of the Program’s HIV clients would result, in violation of their legal rights to confidentiality. For that reason, the AHCA chose to terminate the Petitioner’s Provider Agreement without cause. The AHCA’s Notice of Termination issued on November 25, 1996, not only purported to terminate the Petitioner’s Provider Agreement “thirty days from receipt of this notice,” it also gave the Petitioner notice that it had “the right to request a hearing pursuant to Section 120.57, Florida Statutes.” The Provider Agreement was drafted by Unisys Corporation in consultation with the AHCA’s General Counsel. It is a form agreement, and the terms were not negotiable by the Petitioner. If the Petitioner wanted to participate in the Program, it had to accept the form agreement. The Provider Agreement was signed by Thomas Barcia as president/director of the Petitioner and by W. A. Hardy, Jr., apparently an employee of Unisys, on behalf of the AHCA. Neither Hardy nor the AHCA’s General Counsel testified at final hearing. Neither of the AHCA’s two witnesses could testify as to the meaning of the Provider Agreement, particularly paragraphs 8 and 9. Thomas Barcia testified that he understood the Provider Agreement to mean that the Petitioner could terminate on thirty days notice but that termination by the AHCA also had to be fair and for just cause and subject to due process; otherwise, he thought the Provider Agreement was to last for five years, or for as long as the Petitioner’s services were needed. In support of the Petitioner’s interpretation of the Provider Agreement, Barcia pointed to paragraph 1 of the Provider Agreement, which required the Petitioner to “keep for 5 years complete and accurate medical and fiscal records that fully justify and disclose the extent of the services rendered and billings made under the Medicaid program . . .” Barcia also testified that he and others made investments in the Petitioner’s business that would not have been made had they known that the AHCA could terminate the Provider Agreement without cause. He testified that major personal and corporate financial hardships would befall him and the Petitioner if the AHCA terminated the Provider Agreement on 30 days notice, including defaults on building and vehicle leases; he testified that personal and corporate bankruptcy could result.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the AHCA enter the final order reinstating the Petitioner’s Medicaid Provider Agreement without prejudice to possible proceedings to terminate the Provider Agreement for cause. RECOMMENDED this 16th day of June, 1997, at Tallahassee, Florida. J.
