14under par. (a) 10. a. because of the provider's failure to follow identical or similar
15billing procedures or to follow other identical or similar program requirements. The
16assessment shall be used to defray in part the costs of audits and investigations by
17the department under sub. (3) (g) and may not exceed $1,000 or 200% of the amount
18of any such repeated recovery made, whichever is greater. The provider shall pay the
19assessment to the department within 10 days after receipt of notice of the assessment
20or the final decision after administrative hearing, whichever is later. The
21department may recover any part of an assessment not timely paid by offsetting the
22assessment against any medical assistance payment owed to the provider and may
23refer any such unpaid assessments not collected in this manner to the attorney
24general, who may proceed with collection under this subdivision. Failure to timely
25pay in any manner an assessment charged under this subdivision, other than an
1assessment that is offset against any medical assistance payment owed to the
2provider, is grounds for decertification under subd. 12. A provider's payment of an
3assessment does not relieve the provider of any other legal liability incurred in
4connection with the recovery for which the assessment is charged, but is not evidence
5of violation of a statute or rule. The department shall credit all assessments received
6under this subdivision to the appropriation account under s. 20.435 (4) (iL). The
7department shall promulgate rules to implement this subdivision.
