(b) If collection of the assessment is discontinued as provided in this section, quarterly adjustment payments shall be discontinued and, after payment of all amounts under W.S. 42-9-103(d)(i) and (iii), any assessments remaining in the account shall be returned to the private hospitals from which the assessments were collected on the same basis as they were collected.
