(a) The bureau has the authority to create policy measures that ensure the enforcement and compliance of this part. The bureau shall require an ambulance provider that fails to pay an assessment due under this part to pay the bureau, in addition to the assessment, a penalty of five percent (5%) of the principal amount owed per month for each month the assessment remains unpaid in full after the date due. The bureau may waive penalties for a delinquent provider if the provider has entered into a payment plan approved by the bureau. If the provider fails to comply with the terms of the payment plan, then the bureau may reinstate the waived penalties. Other enforcement measures determined by the bureau include, but are not limited to, recoupments, withholding of future payments, and loss of medicaid ID.
(b) The bureau shall require ambulance providers to submit quarterly transport count data for all transports to the office of emergency services within thirty (30) days of the end of the quarter.
(c) Notwithstanding § 68-140-319, the office of emergency services shall provide the commissioner of health with full access to ambulance run reports maintained by the office. The commissioner of health may provide the bureau with ambulance run report data and additional requested data, including reports containing protected health information, as needed to ensure the assessment program remains in compliance with state and federal laws.
