Section 22-6-25Enforcement remedies; adoption of criteria.

Medicaid shall have such specific civil remedies of enforcement as is required by OBRA as a minimum state enforcement remedy. In order to ensure compliance with this article, Medicaid rules and regulations and OBRA, Medicaid shall also specify criteria, as to when and how each of such enforcement remedies is to be applied, the amounts of any fines, and the severity of each of these remedies, to be used in the imposition of such remedies. Such criteria shall be designed so as to minimize the time between the identification of violations and final imposition of the remedies, and shall provide for the imposition of incrementally more severe fines for repeated or uncorrected deficiencies. Such enforcement remedies and criteria shall be promulgated by rule or regulation pursuant to the Alabama Administrative Procedures Act no later than October 1, 1989. Medicaid shall not have the power to implement such specific enforcement remedies until Medicaid has also adopted specific criteria as to when and how each of such remedies is to be applied, the amounts of any fines, and the severity of each of these remedies to be used in the imposition of such remedies.
