    § 12-d.  Filing  of certain information by medical facilities.  1. In
  the event a medical facility fails to file the  required  financial  and
  statistical  reports,  or  specific  additional data related to the rate
  setting process, on or before the prescribed due dates, or as  the  same
  may  be  extended by the commissioner, the commissioner shall reduce the
  current rate established for payments by governmental agencies by up  to
  two  percent  for  a  period  beginning on the first day of the calendar
  month following the  original  due  date  of  the  required  reports  or
  additional  data and continuing until the last day of the calendar month
  in which said reports or data are filed.
    2. If the financial and statistical reports required by  this  section
  are  determined  by  the  commissioner  to  be incomplete, inaccurate or
  incorrect, the medical facility will have thirty days from the  date  of
  receipt  of  notification  to  provide the corrected or additional data.
  Failure to file the corrected or additional  data  that  was  previously
  required  within  such thirty day period, or as the same may be extended
  by the commissioner, shall result in a reduction of the current rate  in
  accordance with subdivision one of this section.
    3.  For purposes of this section, "specific additional data related to
  the rate setting process", shall mean those for use in a wage geographic
  differential survey, a peer grouping data survey and a medical  supplies
  survey  and a malpractice insurance survey, as well as other information
  intended for use in establishing rates. The  commissioner  shall  supply
  each  medical  facility with preliminary information concerning the data
  that will be required prior to the start of each rate period.    Failure
  to file such additional data within thirty days from the date of receipt
  of  notification  to  supply  such  information,  or  as the same may be
  extended by the commissioner, shall result in a reduction of the current
  rate in accordance with subdivision one of this section.
    4. For the purposes of this section, "medical facility" shall  mean  a
  residential   health  care  facility,  general  hospital,  free-standing
  ambulatory care facility, diagnostic and/or treatment center and  clinic
  authorized  under  article twenty-eight of this chapter, and a certified
  home health agency and long term home  health  care  program  authorized
  under article thirty-six of this chapter.
