An ASTC or ODC that does not timely submit corrected claims records will accrue delinquent penalties starting the sixteenth (161

h) day after error notification and ending the day when the actual corrected claims data are received by the Department or the maximum penalty is reached.

(7) Unless a request for a formal hearing pursuant to subparagraph (6)(b) is timely received, the civil penalties become final and collectable either on the date that the time for requesting an informal conference has expired without a request being filed, or on the date on which the written final disposition of the informal conference is received.
