Conditional Increases

Section 900 Section 900.344  Conditional Increases The Board will grant a conditional increase prior to the occurrence of the reason for the appeal if that reason conforms to the provisions of Section 900.342(a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(5), or (a)(7), as appropriate, and if the projected increase in cost is predictable both as to effective date and amount.  An appeal requesting this conditional increase will be considered if it conforms to the provisions of Section 900.345.  Within 45 days after the effective date of an increase under this Section, or after notification of an increase, whichever is later, the provider must submit documentation that the costs upon which the appeal is based have occurred.  Upon receipt of the documentation within the required period, the allowable costs approved under the conditional increase shall be reaffirmed as allowable costs.  If adequate documentation is not received within the prescribed period, the Board will reaffirm the prior allowable costs as of the effective date of the costs approved under the conditional increase.
