20  invoices for the county's proportionate share of Medicaid

23  However, if a county has been billed for its participation but

24  has not paid the amount due, the agency shall offset that

25  amount and notify the county of the amount of the offset. If

28  provided in s. 409.915(6), the county must proportionately

29  divide any credit or offset in accordance with the proration

30  that it has established. The credit or offset shall be

31  calculated separately for inpatient and nursing home services
