If the recommendation for denial is upheld by the Division, the hospital and/or practitioner may request a reconsideration of the denial within 30 days of the receipt of the denial.(4)
If the reconsidered decision is to uphold the denial, payment to all providers of service shall be recovered.(5)
The hospital and/or practitioner may appeal any final decision through the Division administrative appeals process.(6)
