Description

Colonnade Medical Center, Inc. (Colonnade) appeals a final order of the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) ordering it to remit $49,965.30 in Medicaid overpayments. We affirm. Colonnade operates a nursing home. Under chapter 7 of the institutional provider handbook, a nursing home may apply for supplemental payment for Medicaid recipients with AIDS, known as ""H"" supplemental payments, provided that certain prerequisites are met. The individual must be diagnosed as HIV positive, have laboratory confirmation of a reactive screening test for HIV antibodies, and must be receiving active treatment for a condition that meets the Center for Disease Control definition of AIDS. As a pre-condition to receiving ""H"" supplemental payment, a nursing home must request and receive prior authorization from Medicaid. A request for prior authorization must contain: (1) a letter from the facility requesting the ""H"" supplemental payment; (2) a copy of the admission cover sheet; (3) a confirming HIV test; and (4) a signed physician letter or statement documenting current treatment for an opportunistic AIDS-related disease.
