(305 ILCS 5/15-6) (from Ch. 23, par. 15-6)
Sec. 15-6. Annual audit.
(a) Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of each county hospital, the Illinois Department shall conduct an annual audit of the Fund to determine that amounts received from or paid to county providers were correct. If such an audit identifies amounts that a county provider should not have been required to pay but did pay, a county provider should have been required to pay but did not pay, a county provider should not have received but did receive, or a county provider should have received but did not receive, the Illinois Department shall:
(1) Make required payments to any such county
provider, or
(2) Take action to recover required amounts from any
such county provider, including recoupment from future payments.
(b) Amounts recovered from a county provider shall be credited to the Fund. A county provider is entitled to recover amounts paid to the Illinois Department into the Fund and to receive refunds and payment from the Illinois Department for payments that should have been paid from the Fund only to the extent that monies are available in the Fund.
