Section 388-835-0805. What if a provider discovers an error or omission that affected their cost report?

(1) If a provider discovers an error or omission that caused their cost report to be incorrect, the provider must submit amended cost report pages.

(2) Amended cost report pages must be certified and accompanied by a written explanation why the amendment is necessary. Amendments are not accepted by DSHS unless they comply with the requirements in WAC 388-835-0815.

(3) If DSHS concludes that the amendment changes are material, the amended pages must be audited by a field audit.

(4) If DSHS concludes that the amendments are incorrect or unacceptable as a result of the field audit or other information it receives, any rate adjustment based on the amendments is null and void. Any scheduled future rate payment increases resulting from the amendments must be canceled immediately.

(5) Any rate adjustment payments must be made according to the repayment provisions in WAC 388-835-0905.
