(1) A health fund that has been given a notice under subsection 8- 5(1) may
request the Commission to reconsider the decision.

   (a)  be in writing; and

   (b)  set out the reasons for the request; and

   (c)  be made on or before the first day of the month following the month
        during which the Commission gave the notice (or, if that day is not a
        business day, the first business day after that day).

(3) As soon as practicable after receiving the request, the Commission must:

   (a)  reconsider the decision; and

   (b)  affirm, vary or revoke the decision. Note: Decisions on
        reconsideration are reviewable under section 13-1.

(4) If the Commission revokes the decision, revocation is taken to be a
decision that the amount in question is payable.

(6) The Commission must notify the health fund stating its decision on the
reconsideration together with a statement of its reasons for its decision.

decision if the Commission does not notify the health fund of its decision on
the reconsideration within 28 days after receiving the request.
