(1) Certified programs eligible for reimbursement must enter into a contract with the Department regarding provision of admission assessment services. Certified hospital programs that only provide inpatient admission assessment services and are not eligible for reimbursement must enter into an agreement with the Department regarding provision of assessment services. (2) The maximum fee a certified program may charge to the Department for the admission assessment will be $ $140 for all assessments, including those performed on an outpatient basis by hospitals that are certified programs. (3) Each certified program that has a contract with the Department must pay an annual certification fee to the Department of $200. Fee payments must be received by the Department within 60 days of the date the invoice was issued, unless other specific arrangements have been approved by the Department. Failure to pay fees in a timely fashion may be cause for suspension of reimbursement payments and/or suspension or revocation of a program's certification.
