Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 900.345 - Procedure for Filing Appeals
a)
An appeal for an increase in allowable costs shall be submitted in writing to
the Illinois Purchased Care Review Board and shall, to the extent applicable,
contain the following:
1) The name and
address of the provider.
2) The
current, approved allowable costs and the allowable costs sought pursuant to
the appeal.
3) A clear, concise
statement of the reasons for the appeal, the requested effective date of the
increased allowable costs which are sought, and the reasons for this effective
date.
4) A detailed statement of
financial, statistical and related information in support of the appeal which
indicates the relationship between the additional costs submitted and the
change of circumstances or other reasons for the higher costs.
5) Documentation of any statutory, regulatory
or contractual requirement pertinent to the appeal.
6) In the case of appeals based on Section
900.342(a)(3), (a)(4),
(a)(5), or (a)(7), a written statement
secured by the provider from the governmental agency that purchases services
from the provider that the governmental agency considers the costs claimed in
the application for administrative adjustment to be warranted.
7) Certification by either the chief
executive officer or the financial officer of the provider that the application
and all information reports, schedules, budgets, books and records submitted
are true, correct and accurate. False certification shall be subject to
whatever penalties are appropriate under the criminal statutes of the State of
Illinois.
b) No appeal
can be acted upon unless the provider has filed an attested cost report in
accordance with Section
900.320(a).
Attested reports from more recently completed fiscal years may also be
considered in an appeal, as may other relevant documents.
c) Documentation submitted in support of the
appeal, but subsequent to filing of the appeal, shall contain the certification
described in Section 900.342.
d)
Any appeal under this Section shall contain sufficient information to permit
the Board to translate the expenditures giving rise to the appeal into
reimbursable allowable costs. The provider shall provide any other information,
books and records that the Board may reasonably request. If the provider fails
to provide the information, books and records within 45 days after a request,
the application will be rejected.
e) The Board shall process an appeal filed in
accordance with this Section within 90 days after receiving it, except that, if
the Board requests additional information, the response period shall be
extended by the amount of time taken in providing that information. The Board
may delay an appeal decision beyond 90 days at the request of the affected
provider.
