In addition, the director of the department of social services or the director's designee may cancel or refuse to issue, extend or reinstate a Medicaid provider agreement to any nursing facility which fails to pay such delinquent reimbursement allowance required by section 198.401 unless under appeal as allowed in section 198.412.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this section, failure to pay a delinquent reimbursement allowance imposed under section 198.401 shall be grounds for denial, suspension or revocation of a license granted under this chapter. The director of the department of health and senior services may deny, suspend or revoke the license of any nursing facility which fails to pay a delinquent reimbursement allowance unless under appeal as allowed in section 198.412.
