(a) Disallowed costs;

(b) Refunds;

(c) Underpayments; or

(3) A provider's administration operations and property cost center settlement rate is the prospective rate for the period weighted by the number of paid resident days each rate was in effect.

(4) A provider's return of equity rate is the prospective rate for the report period weighted by the number of paid resident days the rate was in effect.
