Utah Admin. Code R414-506-4 - Change in Hospital Status

(1)

(a) If a hospital's status changes during any given year and it no longer falls under the definition of a hospital that is subject to the assessment outlined in Section 26-36d-203, the hospital must submit in writing to DMHF, a notice of the status change and the effective date of that change. The notice must be mailed to the correct address, as follows, and is only effective upon receipt by the Reimbursement Unit:

Via United States Postal Service:

Utah Department of Health

DMHF, BCRP

Attn: Reimbursement Unit

P.O. Box 143102

Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102

Via United Parcel Service, Federal Express, and similar:

Utah Department of Health

DMHF, BCRP

Attn: Reimbursement Unit

288 North 1460 West

Salt Lake City, UT 84116-3231

(b) DMHF may identify a hospital that has changed status and will not include that hospital in the subsequent quarterly assessment.

(2) The following provisions apply for any period in which a hospital is no longer subject to the assessment and notice has been given under Subsection R414-506-4(1)(a), or when the hospital is identified by DMHF under Subsection R414-506-4(1)(b):

(a) DMHF shall require payment of the assessment from that hospital for the full quarter in which the status change occurred; and

(b) the hospital is exempt from future assessment.

(3) For state fiscal year 2020 and subsequent years, before the beginning of each state fiscal year, DMHF shall determine whether a new provider is subject to the assessment. DMHF will add a newly identified provider prospectively, beginning with that new state fiscal year. For example, a May 2019 evaluation that identifies a new provider will result in that new provider being added July 2019.
