The department shall, not later than ten days before the date of the hearing, notify, electronically or by United States postal service, the nursing home or hospital of the date, time, and place of the hearing. The department may hear all the requested appeals in one public hearing.
(C) On the basis of the evidence presented at the hearing or any other evidence submitted by the nursing home or hospital, the department may adjust a fee. The department's decision is final.
