Co-Payment Reimbursement

Co-Payment Reimbursement When incorrect co-payments amounts are assessed, the amount must be reimbursed to the parent or child care provider. 1) Higher Rate If a parent's fee was assessed at a rate higher than the correct fee and the parent has made payment to the provider, the parent must be reimbursed by the provider for the difference for each month paid. The correct fee shall be noted on the certificate and a notice of the change forwarded to the provider and the parent. 2) Lower Rate If a parent's fee was assessed at a rate lower than the correct fee, the parent must be responsible for reimbursing the provider for the difference between the corrected co- payment amount and the incorrect co-payment amount that was paid.
