Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal awards and Florida state financial assistance (the "Schedules") include the federal and state grant transactions of the Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation and its affiliates ("JHHS") under programs of the federal government and state of Florida for the year ended June 30, 2025. Because the Schedules present only a selected portion of the operations of JHHS, they are not intended to and do not present the financial position, results of operations and changes in net assets, or cash flows of JHHS. For purposes of the Schedules, federal and state awards include all awards in the form of grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly between JHHS and the agencies, the departments of the federal government, the non-federal pass-through entities, and the state of Florida. Federal Assistance Listing information, Catalog of State Financial Assistance (“CSFA”), and pass-through identification numbers are included when available.
The Schedules reflect federal and state award program expenditures recognized on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. JHHS has not elected to use the 10% de minimis rate for indirect costs; indirect costs are billed based upon negotiated and budgeted rates. Individual affiliates may elect to use the 10% de minimis rate in the absence of a formally negotiated rate, in accordance with 2 CFR 200.414(f).
JHHS conducted COVID-19 testing and/or provided treatment for uninsured individuals with a COVID-19 primary diagnosis on or after February 4, 2020 and as such requested claims reimbursement under Assistance Listing # 93.461 Health Resources and Services Administration's ("HRSA") COVID-19 Testing and Treatment for the Uninsured. JHHS recorded $(375) thousand on the Schedule consisting of refunds and adjustments reported in fiscal year 2025 relating to claims submitted and reported with service dates in fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022 for $(109) thousand, $(265) thousand, and $(1) thousand, respectively. The Uninsured program stopped accepting claims due to a lack of sufficient funds. No claims submitted after March 22, 2022 for testing or treatment and claims for vaccine administration after April 5, 2022, will be processed for adjudication and payment.
In fiscal year 2025 , the affiliate Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital (“JHACH”) received approval of their project related to Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) funding passed thru from the Florida Division of Emergency Management. As required by the OMB Compliance Supplement, non-federal entities must record expenditures on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards when (1) FEMA has approved the non-federal entity’s project, and (2) the non-federal entity has incurred the eligible expenditures. JHACH, as such, recorded $112 thousand in expenditures on the Schedule, which were incurred in prior years, but not approved by FEMA until fiscal year 2025.

Claims Report Prepare a monthly Claims Report and submit it to the Contract Manager no later than submission of the monthly invoice. Condition Per the award agreement, The Johns Hopkins Health System (“JHHS”) is required to submit Requests for Payments and Monthly Claims Reports by specified deadlines. Through our testing, we noted that three of the five selected reports were not filed timely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the program award agreement. We did note, however, that the reports were accepted subsequent to the late filings. Refer below for the specific selections and observations: Report Name Condition Request for Payment (Monthly Invoice) – August 2024 We noted that “Request for Payment (Monthly Invoice) – August 2024” was filed on 10/1/2024, against the due date of 9/30/2024. Claims Report – October 2024 We noted that “Claims Report – October 2024” was filed on 12/5/2024, against the due date of 11/30/2024. Request for Payment (Monthly Invoice) – May 2025 We noted that “Request for Payment (Monthly Invoice) – May 2025” was filed on 7/22/2025, against the due date of 6/30/2025. Cause For the selections tested, we noted that the reports above were not filed timely in accordance with the various terms and conditions of the award agreement due to complications resulting from Hurricane Helene and internal miscommunications. Effect JHHS did not submit the reports listed above within the appropriate period per the award agreements. Therefore, The Johns Hopkins Health System was not in compliance with the reporting requirements. Questioned Costs There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Recommendation JHHS should monitor reporting and ensure that reports are submitted on a timely basis or otherwise, ensure that an extension request is submitted and supporting documentation is retained.
