(a) Subject to prior department approval, a provider may enter into a subcontract for the performance of a service covered by the provider agreement only if the provider

(1) remains administratively and financially responsible for the service and is responsible for the performance of the subcontractor;

(2) ensures that the subcontractor's records are protected, preserved, and retained as required by this chapter; and

(3) demonstrates that the method of procurement to be used to identify the subcontractor will be reasonably competitive.

(b) The provider shall ensure that a subcontract authorized under this section requires the subcontractor to provide the department, the provider, or a representative of the department or provider with reasonable access to the subcontractor's books, documents, papers, and records if the department or the provider determines that access to this information is necessary. The subcontract must state that the department may, at any time, obtain and retain the original of any records generated as a result of the provider agreement to which the subcontract applies.
