If a health professional does not contest the decision rendered by the Board under section 22.2 and the Board can neither refuse payment for the services concerned by its decision nor have the amount owing reimbursed by compensation, it may, at the expiry of the applicable period for contesting the decision, issue a certificate stating the name and address of the health professional and attesting the amount owing and the health professional’s failure to contest the decision of the Board. On the filing of the certificate with the office of the Superior Court or the Court of Québec, according to their respective jurisdictions, the decision becomes enforceable as if it were a final judgment of that court not subject to appeal and has all the effects of such a judgment.

The second paragraph of section 18.3.2 applies, with the necessary modifications, to the amount owed by the health professional.
