(a) To ensure compliance with the standards and procedures
provided in this chapter and in the Act, the department will conduct
an initial inspection at the department's discretion, prior to or
following the issuance of the authorization and on an annual basis.
(b) The inspection fee shall be $450. The fee for the
initial inspection shall be paid at the time of original application
for authorization. The fee for each subsequent annual inspection shall
be paid within 60 calendar days of notification. Revocation action
may be initiated per §10.14 of this title (relating to Revocation
of Vendor Authorization) if payment of the annual inspection fee is
not made within 60 calendar days of notification. Inspection fees
are neither refundable nor transferable.
(c) Should a fee payment be returned or dishonored,
the applicant or vendor must promptly make payment by cashier's check
or money order. If payment is not made within 30 calendar days of
notification, the application will be abandoned as "incomplete". If
the authorization was issued prior to notification of the insufficiency
of funds, and proper payment is not made within 30 calendar days of
notification, revocation proceedings will be initiated under §10.14
of this title.
(d) Failure to cooperate with the department representative
during an inspection may result in denial of an application or revocation
of an authorization.
(e) This section does not preclude the department from
investigating complaints or conducting audits at the department's
discretion for which no fee will be charged.
