Finding 2022-006 Identification of the Federal Program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, United States Department of Defense Assistance Listing: Various ? Research & Development (R&D) Cluster Pass-Through Grantor: Various Pass-Through Award Number: Various Pass-Through Award Period: 1/1/2022-12/31/2022 Summary of the finding: Management did not retain evidence to support their review over the patient data submitted to Sponsor for the per diem billings from February 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was complete and accurate. Corrective action plan: The current attestation memo control will be replaced as follows: There are two categories of study activity that required review and approval by the appropriate individual (i.e., Principal Investigator, Clinical Research Manager (CRM) or a delegate): (1) at the time of enrollment to assure that the study participant met sponsor-defined eligibility requirements and (2) subsequent study activities that may include but are not limited to a study visit, data collection, follow-up phone call, questionnaire completion, laboratory testing, biospecimen collection, or some combination of these. Verification of eligibility at the time of enrollment will continue to be reviewed and approved by the study PI, CRM, or appropriate delegate per sponsor requirements. Documentation is maintained in study-specific binders, per FDA audit standards and internationally-accepted Good Clinical Practice principles to assure that only patients meeting the sponsor?s defined eligibility criteria are enrolled into the study. Review of study activities subsequent to the study participant enrollment will be conducted monthly by the CRM or their delegate. Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) will prepare and send each CRM a Transaction Report downloaded from the institutional clinical trial management system for each federally funded study, at least quarterly, that includes a listing of study visits associated with enrolled study participants that occurred within the defined period of time. The CRM/delegate will review the report detail provided and, upon approval, sign, and date the report. To assure that the information in the report is consistent with what was submitted to third parties which generates reimbursement, the CRM/delegate will conduct an audit of a sample of patients from a random selection of studies included in the Transaction Report. Each sample will be verified against documentation maintained in the study binder. Audit results affirming document review will be recorded in an audit tracking log which will be retained with the study activity report in their Clinical Trial Office (CTO) file as evidence of their review of study activity for federally funded fixed fee/per patient studies. For those federally funded fixed fee/per patient studies that do not utilize the standard institutional clinical trial management system, a similar study activity report downloaded from the clinical trial management system utilized for the study will be used for review, signed and dated upon approval and kept in the CTO files as evidence of review. Individuals responsible for corrective action: Giacomo DeChellis, Sr. Director, Research Operations, Corewell Health East Timing of corrective action: September 1, 2023 and going forward.

Eligibility Internal control deficiency over the reassessment requirement to determine eligibility Identification of the federal program: Assistance Listing Number 93.914 ? Program Name: HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants ? Grantor: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ? Federal award identification number: Not Applicable Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the finding. Management will develop internal controls to implement effective internal controls regarding 1) Review and retention of income and residency verification at program Intakes, and 2) Real time documentation of participants? income and residency eligibility at the required frequency (typically during 6 month Reassessments) with accepted supporting documentation for each participant. 3) This documentation will be entered into our EMR (EPIC) for each patient, outlining our eligibility verifications done at Intakes, Reassessments or Reassessment Attempts, along with screen shots from ePACES and/or other eligibility documents used. This will enable our program team and our funders and auditors to be able to more easily review our documented ongoing program eligibility for each patient. This will also improve our quality controls and will enable program staff to more effectively monitor annual eligibility checks.

FISCAL YEAR OF FINDING: 2022 AUDITOR FINDING: 2022-005 Eligibility. We noted the following issues in the 40 cases tested: 1. Four instances in which income was incorrectly calculated based on information maintained in case file. 2. One instance in which there was inadequate documentation to support eligibility determination within the case file. 3. One instance in which the Colorado Works Referral form was not processed timely. 4. Two instances in which the County' eligibility authorization notes for the period selected did not agree to CHATS. Recommendation: We recommend that the County continue to strengthen the internal controls surrounding the eligibility process, specifically continuing the use and monitoring of case reviews to help identify potential areas for additional training. CLIENT PLANNED ACTION: Jefferson County agrees with the findings. There continues to be improvement each year in the overall findings, which demonstrates that the strategies previously implemented had the desired impact. However, the continued findings require additional action steps. Jefferson County will continue and implement the following actions to address and prevent future errors. ? The CCAP supervisor will continue reviewing available reports in CHATS to target untimely closures and follow up on potential erroneous case closures. Reports include the RE301, RE224, and RE115. Any case needing action will be assigned for completion within 5 business days and reviewed to ensure corrections were completed. ? Monthly case reviews will continue, at three levels, to assess case and payment accuracy. o The Jeffco Human Services Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) team will review 1% of the caseload monthly, utilizing the state mandated list. o The State Program Integrity Office will review cases monthly to monitor case and payment accuracy. o CCAP Supervisor and/or Lead Worker will review cases as follows: - The CCAP Supervisor will complete a minimum of two case reviews per worker per month. The number and type of review may be adjusted based on individual staff performance. Income and parent fee calculations will be targeted using the primary activity report in CHATS. The Lead Worker will fulfill this function if the Supervisor is out of the office. - 5% of all applications and redeterminations will be reviewed by the CCAP Supervisor or Lead Worker prior to approval. Jefferson County?s Internal Auditor has also been trained on the eligibility process and may review cases prior to approval to support the team. Eligibility Specialists will utilize a pre-authorization checklist when submitting the selected cases for review. The checklist was developed and implemented to assist workers in accurately entering and checking their data entry and eligibility determination. New CCAP Eligibility Specialists will have 100% of cases reviewed prior to approval until accuracy rates reach 95%, at which point preauthorization reviews will be reduced incrementally based on performance. o All responses to IQA or State Program Integrity regarding corrections or resolutions to cases will be documented and provided to the CCAP Supervisor/Program Manager within 2-5 business days, depending on the identified deadline, and will include screen shots verifying corrections prior to submittal. o Monthly meetings between the Division Director, Program Integrity Manager, Program Integrity Supervisor, Quality Assurance Supervisor, CCAP Program Manager, and CCAP Supervisor will continue in order to discuss performance and progress related to quality assurance and program integrity. Prior to the meeting, the Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) team will provide monthly reports for review and analysis. During the meetings, data and trends will be reviewed utilizing the aforementioned reports, which include error type, accuracy, and error increase/reduction over the year. In addition, training needs for staff will be discussed based on the supervisory, Internal Quality Assurance (IQA), and State level review findings and monitoring strategies will be developed to address areas of concern. ? Monthly review data is incorporated into all individual and leadership performance milestones. Milestones are the county?s employee performance management system. Continued errors or lack of progress and improvement will be addressed via the county Employee Relations coaching and disciplinary framework. ? Effective January 1, 2023, Jefferson County launched an updated model for service delivery and workload management utilizing an internal system, GenApp. The utilization of GenApp: o Improved document storage, o Increased oversight related to workload and timeliness as all pending actions can be viewed by type, date received and due date, o Simplified workload coverage due to employee leave or vacancies, o Removed inconsistencies in customer service, o Improved available reports. ? The Colorado Works Referral inbox has been prioritized by the CCAP Supervisor/Lead Worker for review and timely completion. ? Supplementary income training will be developed and delivered starting in October 2023 and continue on a quarterly basis to provide a review of income rules, calculation, common errors, and answer questions.

FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, COVID-19 Health Centers Program Cluster (Assistance listing number 93.224/93.527) Finding 2022-001 - Special Tests and Provisions SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Recommendation We recommend that proper training be given to employees at registration to ensure that the sliding fee discounts be monitored and reviewed by a supervisor on a periodic basis to ensure compliance with the sliding fee scale. In addition, management should conduct internal audits to ensure the sliding fee is calculated properly. Action Taken CommWell Health concurs with the recommendation and has designed a series of enhancements to existing registration orientation and ongoing training. Additional training time will be dedicated with current front desk registration colleagues to ensure that they can determine household income from the documentation given to them by patients. This education will be completed by December 31, 2022. New hire orientation training will include a thorough review of the Front Desk Handbook and slide fee procedures. Post-test will be given to each front desk colleague upon completion of education. Scores of at least 90% will required or training and testing will be repeated. In addition, CommWell Health is moving to a new electronic health record (EHR), EPIC, beginning November 7, 2022. This system has much better controls built in to help ensure that slide fee is documented correctly. EPIC also does not have many of the system limitations our previous EHR had. Audits of 100% of slide fee records will be done every day by designated colleagues to ensure slide fee documentation is correct. Supervisors will review daily audit findings and ensure additional training is given accordingly. Corrective action will be taken on any errors noted during audits. Finance staff will conduct random internal audits of slide fee records each month to evaluate for compliance with applicable requirements. Results of internal audits will be reviewed monthly in Utilization Review Committee. If the Health Resources and Services Administration has questions regarding this plan, please call Cheryl Stanley, Chief Financial Officer, at 910-567-7008.

PRPHA has a provider with vast experience in this program and is currently serving other government authorities in the mainland that are entitled with this program. We have assured that they are following the regulations that are set forth by the Treasury Department. However, because of the short period of time that we have had this program in Puerto Rico we have had to adapt the practices that have been adopted in the other agencies as the formal procedures as a start up implementation. We are establishing more procedures as the program evolves in the island. This is an on going action plan.
