55 Pa. Code § 41.112 - Filing of position paper
(a) The
provider shall file its position paper and required documentation with the
Bureau and serve it on the program office within 60 days of the close of
discovery or another date as may be specified in the Bureau's prehearing order.
If the provider fails to meet the position paper due date or fails to supply
the Bureau with the required documentation, the Bureau will dismiss the
provider's appeal, unless the provider shows good cause for its
noncompliance.
(b) The program
office will file its position paper and required documentation with the Bureau
and serve it on the provider within 60 days of the date of service of the
provider's position paper or another date as may be specified in the Bureau's
prehearing order. If the program office fails to meet the position paper due
date, the Bureau will bar it from presenting evidence and witnesses at the
hearing, unless the program office shows good cause for its
noncompliance.
(c) The Bureau
disfavors requests for extensions of time to file position papers. The Bureau
may grant an extension if the following conditions are met:
(1) A party submits a written request for
extension.
(2) The request is
received by the Bureau in time for it to review the matter prior to the due
date.
(3) The party establishes
that good cause exists to warrant an extension.
(d) Failure to complete discovery before the
due date of the position paper will ordinarily not be considered sufficient
cause to extend the deadline, unless the failure is due to the noncooperation
of the other side. A request for extension should be considered denied unless
the Bureau affirmatively grants the extension in writing before the papers are
due.
