Again, and hopefully for the last time: It was coded, it was billed, and they received the money. It was expected; it WAS NOT EXTRA. This is not really all that hard to understand. If you sell 100 bananas at $1.00 each, you receive $100. You use it to buy more bananas, build a better banana stand and go out for dinner. There is no problem until some entity comes along and says: You can only sell bananas for $0.75 in this county, you owe $100,000 for "overbilling" the last 4 years. Now you go bankrupt. There is no secret pile of cash to pay back. You have to sell your new banana stand, liquidate your inventory of bananas and hope to find a willing buyer to take over the banana business since the people need bananas. Simple.
