MEMORANDUM ***

Marco Garcia appeals a district court judgment upholding a Medicare recoupment determination by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm.

1. Substantial evidence supports the Secretary’s conclusion that Garcia was a Medicare “provider.” Garcia applied for and obtained a six-digit Medicare billing Provider Identification Number, bills were processed under this PIN, and Medicare payment checks were made out in Garcia’s name.

2. Substantial evidence also supports the Secretary’s conclusion that Garcia is not entitled to a liability waiver. See 42 U.S.C. § 1395pp(a). The Secretary also reasonably found that Garcia did not act “without fault.” See 42 U.S.C. § 1395gg(b)(l).

3.Garcia waived any argument that the Secretary denied him due process by not raising it below. Malhiot v. S. Cal. Retail Clerks Union, 735 F.2d 1133, 1137 (9th Cir. 1984).

AFFIRMED.
