42-8-107. Penalties for failure to pay assessment.
(a) If a nursing care facility fails to pay an assessment when due under this article, 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 after a penalty is assessed under this section shall be credited first to unpaid assessment amounts rather than to penalty or interest 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 nursing care facility to pay its assessment when due under this article:
(i) Withhold any medical assistance reimbursement payments until the assessment is paid;
(ii) Suspend or revoke the nursing care facility's license; or
(iii) Develop a plan that requires the nursing care facility to pay any delinquent assessment in installments.
