§ 42-11-105 — Penalties for failure to pay assessment

(a) If a private ground ambulance service provider fails
to pay an assessment due under this chapter, there shall be
added to the assessment a penalty equal to five percent (5%) of
the amount of the assessment that was not paid when due. The
penalty under this section may be waived by the department for
good cause. Any payments made after a penalty is assessed under
this section shall be credited first to unpaid assessment
amounts rather than to penalty amounts, beginning with the most
delinquent installment.
(b) In addition to the penalty under subsection (a) of
this section, the department may implement any of the following
remedies for failure of a private ground ambulance service
provider to pay its assessment when due under this chapter:
(i) Withhold any Medicaid payments, including any
quarterly adjustment payments or rate enhancements, until the
assessment is paid;
(ii) Develop a plan that requires the private ground
ambulance service provider to pay any delinquent assessment in
installments;
(iii) Suspend or revoke the private ground ambulance
service provider's license.
