OIG Removal of Billing IRO. In the event OIG has reason to believe the Billing IRO does not possess the qualifications described in Paragraph B, is not independent and objective as set forth in Paragraph D, or has failed to carry out its responsibilities as described in Paragraph C, OIG may, at its sole discretion, require Parkland to engage a new Billing IRO in accordance with Paragraph A.1 of this Appendix. Xxxxxxxx must engage a new Billing IRO within 60 days of termination of the Billing IRO. Prior to requiring Parkland to engage a new Billing IRO, OIG shall notify Parkland of its intent to do so and provide a written explanation of why OIG believes such a step is necessary. To resolve any concerns raised by OIG, Parkland may present additional information regarding the Billing IRO’s qualifications, independence or performance of its responsibilities. OIG will attempt in good faith to resolve any differences regarding the Billing IRO with Parkland prior to requiring Parkland to terminate the Billing IRO. However, the final determination as to whether or not to require Parkland to engage a new Billing IRO shall be made at the sole discretion of OIG.
