Sec. 400.5. Reporting

(a) Reporting by covered providers. Beginning after the effective date of this regulation, covered providers shall submit a completed EO No. 38 disclosure form for each covered reporting period. Such form shall be submitted no later than 180 calendar days following the covered reporting period, unless otherwise authorized. Such form shall be submitted in the manner and form specified by the department or its designee. Covered providers shall further provide the information requested in that form, and any other information requested, upon the request of the department or its designee at any time during the term of or prior to the execution of any contract or agreement with such provider.

(b) Covered providers receiving State funds or State-authorized payments from county or local government or an entity contracting on its behalf must report directly to the department as required by this section. The county or local government shall advise such covered providers of their obligation to report directly to the department under this section, but shall not be responsible for receiving or forwarding such reports to the department.

(c) Failure to report. A covered provider’s failure to submit a completed EO No. 38 disclosure form, or to provide additional or clarifying information at the request of the department or its designee, may result in the termination or non-renewal of a contract or agreement for State funds or State-authorized payments.
