of this chapter (relating to Description of HCS Program Services);
or
(J) CFC PAS/HAB, in-home day habilitation provided

(7) Except as provided in paragraph (8) of this section,
if HHSC approves an LOC requested in accordance with §263.105(b)(3)
of this chapter (relating to LOC Determination), HHSC pays a program
provider for services provided to an individual for a period of not
more than 180 calendar days after the individual's previous ID/RC
Assessment expires.
(8) If HHSC determines that a program provider submitted
an ID/RC Assessment more than 180 calendar days after the expiration
date of the previous ID/RC Assessment, because of circumstances beyond
the program provider's control, HHSC may pay the program provider
for a period of more than 180 calendar days after the date the individual's

(10) HHSC conducts provider fiscal compliance reviews
in accordance with the Provider Fiscal Compliance Review Protocol

provider fiscal compliance review, HHSC may:
(A) recoup payments from a program provider; and
(B) based on the amount of unverified claims, require
a program provider to develop and submit, in accordance with HHSC's
instructions, a corrective action plan that improves the program provider's
billing practices.

(i) the reason the corrective action plan is required;
(ii) the corrective action to be taken;

and submit a corrective action plan in accordance with paragraph (10)(B)
of this section and the program provider requests an administrative
hearing for the recoupment in accordance with §263.802 of this
chapter (relating to Program Provider's Right to Administrative Hearing),
the program provider is not required to develop or submit a corrective
action plan while a hearing decision is pending. HHSC notifies the
program provider if the requirement to submit a corrective action
plan or the content of such a plan changes based on the outcome of
the hearing.
(14) If a program provider does not submit a corrective
action plan or complete a required corrective action within the time
frames described in paragraph (11) of this section, HHSC may impose
a vendor hold on payments due to the program provider until the program
provider takes the corrective action.
(15) If a program provider does not submit a corrective
action plan or complete a required corrective action within 30 calendar
days after the date a vendor hold is imposed in accordance with paragraph
(14) of this section, HHSC may terminate the contract.
