1general, who may proceed with collection under this subdivision. Failure to timely
2pay in any manner an assessment charged under this subdivision, other than an
3assessment that is offset against any medical assistance payment owed to the
4provider, is grounds for decertification under subd. par. (a) 12. A provider's payment
