100.8 - Making Payment Under Indemnification
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
The contractor pays the indemnification amount if the provider, practitioner, or supplier
does not make refund. It takes action to recover this amount as an overpayment from the
provider, practitioner, or supplier. Also, it issues a letter of explanation to the requester
for indemnification. (See §100.10, Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3.) It sends a copy of this notice
to the provider, /practitioner or supplier. The fundamental points of the notice include:
• Name of the provider, practitioner, or supplier and dates the services in question
were rendered; and
• the amount of the indemnification check that the requester is to receive.
