The division may impose per diem penalties if an ICF/MR or a community-based residence fails to produce documentation as requested by the division.

(e) In the event that an ICF/MR or a community based residence is aggrieved by a decision of the division as to the amount due, the ICF/MR or the community based residence may file an appeal to the division of administrative law appeals within 60 days of the notice of underpayment or the date the notice was received, whichever is later.
