Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 140.17 - Suspension of a Vendor's Eligibility to Participate in the Medical Assistance Program

In actions based on Section 140.16 in which the Notice states an intent to terminate, the final administrative decision may result in suspension for a specific time, which shall not exceed one year from the time of the final administrative decision, rather than termination, when the Department determines that:

a) the seriousness and extent of the violations do not warrant termination; and

b) the vendor had no prior history of violations of the Medical Assistance Program; and

c) the lesser sanction of suspension will be sufficient to remedy the problem created by the vendor's violations.
