(3) The provider agrees to repay the department of medicaid, in accordance with section 5165.85 of the Revised Code, the federal share of all payments made by the department to the facility during the six-month period following the exit interview if the facility does not within the six-month period substantially correct the deficiency or deficiencies in accordance with the plan of correction submitted under section 5165.69 of the Revised Code.
(B) If any of the conditions in divisions (A)(1) to (3) of this section do not apply, the department of medicaid or contracting agency shall issue an order terminating the facility's participation in the medicaid program. An order issued under this division is subject to appeal under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. The order shall not take effect prior to the later of the thirtieth day after it is delivered to the facility or, if the order is appealed, the date on which a final adjudication order upholding the termination becomes effective pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.
