2020-101 Lack of Internal Controls Over the Application of the Sliding Fee Scale Condition: The Organization lacks consistently applied processes and procedures related to the application of the sliding fee scale. The Organization also lacks a clear review process related to the sliding fee scale to identify errors quickly to allow for corrections to be made in a timely manner.

The Organization’s policies for the sliding fee scale were recently updated during fiscal year 2022, by management, based on findings during the monitoring by HRSA performed in 2022, but management will consider discussing potential improvements to their policy with the grantor to potentially update it to allow for certain exceptions. The Organization will also consider discussing the agreement with the local school district in more detail with the grantor to either structure their policies to allow for these visits to have different requirements or to see if the grantor would be willing to provide a waiver with regards to theses visits not being technically in compliance with other regular clinic visits. The planned corrective action for this finding is currently in the process of development, approval, and implementation. The Organization expects to have the corrective action implemented by March 1, 2023.

In addition, DCCCMH is hiring a General Ledger Accountant who will ensure all Balance Sheet accounts are reconciled monthly.
