37.2.713    REFUNDS AND RETROACTIVE ASSESSMENTS

(1) If in the process of reviewing a resident ' s or responsible person ' s ability to pay, the department determines that information has been misrepresented on a previous financial statement, which if honestly represented would have resulted in a higher ability to pay determination, a retroactive adjustment of the monthly payment amount based on the increased ability to pay will be made.

(2) If a new determination results in a retroactive reduction of a prior monthly payment amount, and the account has been paid in full for that time period, a refund will be made.

(3) If combined payments from more than one payer are received which exceed the cost of care, a refund will be initiated with the appropriate party or intermediary listed as designated recipient.
