Ch. 206                            MARVIN MANDEL. Governor                                  397

Department of Health, Education and
Welfare's objection resulting in the
intention to eliminate all or a portion
of federal reimbursement. All fee
schedules, items of cost or profit
factors not established by the General
Assembly in the appropriation shall
have approval of the Governor prior
to implementation. Nothing in this
section requires reimbursement to the
State of Maryland by vendors because
of past payments based upon
allowable fee schedules, items of cost
or profit factors established by the
General Assembly for actual services
rendered prior to the effective date of
notification of any modification in the
fee schedules, items of cost or profit
factors. Payments under the Medical
Assistance Program will be adjusted
immediately upon establishment of
modified fee schedules, items of cost
or profit factors for those services not
previously reimbursed irrespective of
the date the services were rendered,
provided, however, that the payment
will be made based upon the lesser of
the modified fee schedules, items of
cost or profit factors or those in
existence at the time the services were
provided.
