(A) A qualified medicaid school provider is solely responsible for timely repaying any overpayment that the provider receives under the medicaid school component of the medicaid program and that is discovered by a federal or state audit. This is the case regardless of whether the audit's finding identifies the provider, department of medicaid, or department of education as being responsible for the overpayment.
(B) The department of medicaid shall not do any of the following regarding an overpayment for which a qualified medicaid school provider is responsible for repaying:
(1) Make a payment to the federal government to meet or delay the provider's repayment obligation;
(2) Assume the provider's repayment obligation;
(3) Forgive the provider's repayment obligation.
(C) Each qualified medicaid school provider shall indemnify and hold harmless the department of medicaid for any cost or penalty resulting from a federal or state audit finding that a claim submitted by the provider under section 5162.361 of the Revised Code did not comply with a federal or state requirement applicable to the claim, including a requirement of a medicaid waiver component.
