Description of Finding: Sliding fee discounts were given to three of the 40 patients tested that were inconsistent with the Health Center’s sliding fee discount policy. Statement of Concurrence: Shasta Community Health Center (SCHC) management agrees with the finding related to sliding fee discounts being provided to a small number of patients inconsistent with the Health Center’s sliding fee discount policy. The finding suggests that staff miscalculated which discount these patients would qualify for based on the income documented on the sliding fee forms. This miscalculation caused incorrect sliding fee discounts to be provided. Corrective Action: Miscalculations seem to be the leading cause of the errors noted by the auditors. Ongoing training/internal audits needs to be more robust to ensure staff understand and accurately calculate which discount the patient qualifies for. Center Managers shall review the slide audits to determine which employees are making errors and provide re-training or corrective action as applicable and document/monitor for improvement. In addition, SCHC is in the process of launching a computer-based patient form completion system, which will calculate the slide fee automatically, removing much of the human element, and thereby greatly reducing the likelihood of miscalculation. We will continue to perform audits on the new process to ensure we see an improvement in our administration of the sliding fee discount program. Individual Primarily Responsible for Corrective Action: Chief Operations Officer Projected Completion Date: Center Managers will begin documenting retraining/corrective action taken based on sliding fee audit starting June 2024. SCHC is in the process of creating the electronic forms needed to launch the computer-based registration and income verification. We expect the forms to be ready to go live late Fall, early Winter.

Management Response: CLUES’ financial management detected an oversight in billing a specific unallowable cost to certain grants that fund our Behavioral Health (“BH”) clinics. The oversight was promptly investigated, and we immediately remedied the situation with the affected funders. CLUES has taken action to prevent similar potential errors in the future. Two of our grants account for the majority of the improper billing total. The funders agreed that we can charge other billable expenses not previously covered. CLUES expended all funds with the funder’s approval. This matter was resolved and reported to the funder’s satisfaction. Action taken in response to finding: Management immediately identified the scope of the billing discrepancy, contacted the funders to resolve it, and have incorporated training and monitoring procedures internally to ensure we do not inadvertently bill such unallowable costs again. Proper review processes have been implemented to detect and prevent similar findings in the future. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Ryan Robinson (VP of Finance & Administration) Planned completion date for corrective action plan: This matter was resolved in May 2024.

Finding 2023-002, Significant Deficiency – Allowable Costs Corrective Action Plan: Goal: To ensure that duplicative expenses are not drawn down in state funding. Plan: The County identified the duplicate transaction of $20,740 reported for drawdown for Project AA 362 was due to an issue with the reporting mechanism. Specifically, the report used to extract project costing details included a commitment number column, which inadvertently resulted in the creation of duplicate records for each commitment associated with a single invoice. Performance Improvement Strategies: To address this issue and prevent its recurrence in the future, immediate steps have already been taken. County Finance has amended the report to exclude the commitment number parameter, thereby eliminating the possibility of duplicate records being generated. Responsible Parties: Nursing Supervisor Brooke Hamby and Assistant Health Directors Nicole Priddy & Marie Stephens Timeframes: Brooke Hamby will reach out to the Division of Public Health, Women & Children’s Health/Children & Youth section, no later than June 15, 2024, to inform them of the Audit finding of this duplicate expense and request what the process is for returning the funds.

Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation: As of June 30, 2023, deposits to the reserve for replacements totaling $768 had not been made. Pursuant to Section 10 of the Regulatory Agreement, the Company shall deposit a monthly amount into the reserve for replacements account. The amount of the monthly deposit may be increased or decreased from time to time at the written direction of HUD. Effective April 1, 2023, HUD increased the monthly deposit from $8,012 to $8,396. Management inadvertently did not increase the monthly deposit until June 2023. As a result, the Company was not in compliance with the terms of the Regulatory Agreement. The reserve for replacements was underfunded by $768 as of June 30, 2023. Action(s) taken or planned on the finding: Management concurs with the finding and recommendation and transferred $768 to the reserve for replacements on August 11, 2023. No further action is required.
