Subpart J_Administrative Sanctions Imposed Against Health Care Providers
 
Sec. 890.1036  Information considered in deciding a contest.

    (a) Presenting information and arguments to the suspending official. 
A provider may submit documents and written arguments in opposition to 
the suspension, and may appear personally, or through a representative, 
before the suspending official to provide any other relevant 
information.
    (b) Specific factual basis for contesting the suspension. The 
provider shall identify specific facts that contradict the basis for the 
suspension as stated in the suspension notice. A general denial of the 
basis for suspension does not raise a genuine dispute over facts 
material to the suspension, and the suspending official shall not give 
such a denial any probative weight.
    (c) Mandatory disclosures. Any provider contesting a suspension 
shall disclose the items of information set forth in Sec. 890.1023(c). 
Failure to provide such information completely and accurately may be a 
basis for OPM to initiate further legal or administrative action against 
the provider.
