(b) The office shall provide written notification of the assessment amount to each ICF/MR. The assessment amount determined shall be considered final unless the facility requests a reconsideration. Requests for reconsideration shall be subject to the provisions of section 1958 of this title.
(c) Each ICF/MR shall remit its assessment to the office according to a schedule adopted by the director. The director may permit variations in the schedule of payment as deemed necessary.
