(A) A nursing home or hospital may appeal the fee imposed under section 3721.51 of the Revised Code, as adjusted under section 3721.512 or 3721.513 of the Revised Code, solely on the grounds that the department of job and family services committed a material error in determining the amount of the fee.

(B) If a nursing home or hospital submits a request for an appeal within the time required under division (A) of this section, the department of job and family services shall hold a public hearing in Columbus not later than thirty days after the date the department receives the request for an appeal. The department shall, not later than ten days before the date of the hearing, mail a notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing to the nursing home or hospital. The department may hear all the requested appeals in one public hearing.

(C) On the basis of the evidence presented at the hearing or any other evidence submitted by the nursing home or hospital, the department may adjust a fee. The department’s decision is final.
