In order to ensure that voluntary refund checks are credited accurately and in a timely manner, providers are required to complete the overpayment refund form or a document containing similar information. Voluntary refunds are monies received not related to an open accounts receivable.

 

The acceptance of a voluntary refund as repayment for the claims specified in no way affects or limits the rights of the Federal Government, or any of its agencies or agents, to pursue any appropriate criminal, civil, or administrative remedies arising from or relating to these or any other claims.
