S.D. Admin. R. 67:16:04:39
The department shall notify the nursing facility in writing of the established per diem rates and the effective date of the rates. The date on the letter is considered the date of notification.
The facility has 30 calendar days following the date of notification to contest an established per diem rate by requesting an administrative hearing under the provisions of chapter 67:17:02. The department may extend this time limit at the request of the provider. Such an extension may not exceed 30 calendar days. The department may not accept additional documentation from the provider once the time limit has expired. At the hearing, the burden of proof is on the provider to demonstrate its entitlement to Medicaid reimbursement by a preponderance of the evidence.
