SECTION 17. ADMINISTRATIVE

REVIEW PROCESS FOR PROPOSED SUSPENSION

.01 A Provider that receives a notice proposing suspension from the Batch Provider or Bulk Provider program, as described in section 16.02 of this revenue procedure, may request an administrative review prior to the proposed suspension taking effect.

.02 The request for an administrative review must be in writing and contain detailed reasons, with supporting documentation, for withdrawal of the proposed suspension.

.03 The written request for an administrative review and a copy of the notice proposing suspension must be delivered to

the address designated in the notice within 30 days of the effective date on the notice. .04 After consideration of the written request for an administrative review, the Service will either issue a suspension letter or notify the Provider in writing that the proposed suspension is withdrawn.

.05 If a Provider receives a suspension letter, the Service’s subsequent determination of whether a reason for suspension has been corrected is not subject to administrative review or appeal.

.06 Failure to submit a written request for an administrative review within the 30-day period described in section 17.03 of this revenue procedure irrevocably terminates the Provider’s right to an administrative review of the proposed suspension, and the Service will issue a suspension letter.
