                                   the person tells the Chief Executive Medicare, or a Human Services employee, in the form approved in writing by the Chief Executive Medicare, that an amount paid, purportedly by way of benefit or payment under this Act, in respect of the service exceeds the amount (if any) that should have been paid

Increases in base penalty amount
