Such regulations shall provide for consideration of the willingness of the recipient to make restitution or to submit to voluntary recoupment and shall include guidelines and procedures for administrative action and recoupment.

Unauthorized disclosure of any such information shall be a violation punishable by a fine of one hundred dollars per offense; provided that the unauthorized release of such information about any individual shall be a separate offense from information released about any other individual. Such unauthorized release of information shall also be cause for administrative discipline of any employee who engages in such unauthorized release.

(2) the hospitals in the service area of the sole community provider shall on average, have received low cost hospital adjustments in excess of five percent of hospital's fiscal year nineteen hundred and eighty-eight patient care costs, calculated in accordance with section eighty.

(b) Sum the results of the calculation described in subparagraph (a) for the hospitals in the qualifying hospital's service area. This sum represents the numerator.
(c) Sum the patient care costs of the hospitals for fiscal nineteen hundred and eighty-eight as calculated in accordance with section eighty. This sum represents the denominator.
(d) Divide subparagraphs (b) and (c) and divide the result obtained by paragraph (2).
(2) The Commission shall then divide the ratio calculated in paragraph (1) by one minus the proportion of the qualifying hospital's fiscal year nineteen hundred and eighty-eight revenue attributable to Medicare covered services.
(a) For the first adjustment, this fraction shall in turn be multiplied by the qualifying hospital's fiscal year nineteen hundred and eighty-nine patient care costs, and the result added to the qualifying hospital's patient care costs for fiscal year nineteen hundred and ninety at the start of that fiscal year.
(b) For the second adjustment, this fraction shall in turn be multiplied by the qualifying hospital's fiscal year 1989 patient care costs and the result added to the qualifying hospital's patient care costs on April first, nineteen hundred and ninety.
