The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance").

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.

Finding Details

Finding 2023.001: Sliding Fee Scale Documentation Grantor: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Names: Health Center Program Cluster: Health Center Program (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care), COVID-19 Health Center Program (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care), Grants for New and Expanded Services Under the Health Center Program, COVID-19 Grants for New and Expanded Services Under the Health Center Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 93.224 and 93.527 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions Criteria Health centers are required to have a corresponding schedule of discounts applied and adjusted on the basis of patients' ability to pay and their eligibility. A patient's eligibility to pay is determined on the basis of the official poverty guideline, as revised by DHHS (42 CFR Sections 51c, 107(b)(5), 56.108(b)(5) and 56.303(f)). The Center should be implementing and monitoring procedures to properly determine, calculate and review sliding fee discounts issued to patients in accordance with the Center's sliding fee scale. Condition The Center did not always have the proper slide fee documentation readily available to ensure the proper slide fee discount was applied based on approved policies. Cause The Center did not have adequate internal controls in place to effectively ensure that the proper sliding fee discounts were properly supported by approved documentation. Effect The Center did not comply with the appropriate rules and regulations as per the Uniform Guidance. Context A test of 40 sliding fee discount transactions was performed and resulted in three instances where documentation was not readily available to ensure the proper slide fee discount was applied. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs None. Identification of Repeat Finding Yes - 2022.001. Recommendation The Center should establish a system of controls to ensure that all sliding fee discounts are properly supported. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Management agrees with the audit finding and will strengthen internal controls and accountability to correct the deficiency.
