The notice shall include the following:
If the provider files a notice of appeal within fifteen (15) days of the date of the notice of termination or exclusion, then the effective date of the proposed action shall be stayed pending a decision following final action by the D.C. Board of Appeals and Review.

If the provider has been excluded or terminated from participation in the Medicare Program or otherwise sanctioned because of fraud or abuse under that program, the effective date of denial of payment for services or termination from the District's Medicaid Program shall be the effective date of exclusion from the Medicare Program as established by HCFA.
Medicaid payments shall be made for inpatient services furnished in a hospital, skilled nursing facility or intermediate care facility to a recipient who was admitted before the effective date of the Medicare exclusion for up to thirty (30) days after the date of the Medicare exclusion.
Payment for home health services furnished under a plan established before the effective date of the exclusion shall be available to the extent federal financial participation is available under the federal regulation.
