42-11-107. Discontinuation of the assessment and payments.
(a) The assessments imposed by this chapter shall be discontinued or not allowed if:
(i) The state plan amendment or other agreement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reflecting the payments authorized by this chapter is not approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The department may modify the payment or qualification provisions as necessary to obtain the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approval if the changes do not exceed the authority and purposes of this chapter;
(ii) Federal financial participation to match assessments under this chapter becomes unavailable under federal law. In this event, the department shall terminate the imposition of assessments beginning on the date the federal statutory, regulatory or interpretive change takes effect.
(b) If the collection of assessments is discontinued as provided in this section, payments or rate enhancements under this chapter shall be discontinued and, after payment of all amounts under W.S. 42-11-103(d)(i) and (iii), any assessments remaining in the account shall be returned to the private ground ambulance service providers from which the assessments were collected on the same basis as they were collected.
(c) If the department is collecting assessments for both quarterly adjustment payments and rate enhancements and both collections are not discontinued, the department shall continue to maintain the account as required by this chapter for the type of assessment that continues to be collected.
