(C) of the process the provider should use to communicate with the organization to provide information about the electronic visit verification transactions;
(D) of the provider's option to seek an informal resolution of the alleged overpayment;
(E) of the process to appeal the determination that an overpayment was made; and
(F) if the provider intends to respond to the notice, that the provider must respond not later than the 30th day after the date the provider receives the notice; and
(2) limit the duration of audits to 24 months.
