The Department understands the importance of complying with the Uniform Guidance with respect to the timely submission of single audit reports and the Data Collection Form, and have established policies and procedures to ensure compliance. The late submission in the prior year was primarily due to unforeseen circumstances delaying the completion of the 2021 audit engagement.
Views of Responsible Officials: Annual budgets will begin being submitted in 2023 now that audits are caught up in the hope we can bring our rental rates and approved budgets closer into alignment with current rental rates and cost to operate in the DFW area.

(A) The Department will create written procedures documenting system and monitoring processes used to prevent claims from paying after a beneficiary?s date-of-death is verified. In addition, the procedures will document the processes used to recover payments made between a beneficiary?s verified date-of-death and the date the Colorado interChange system is updated with the date-of-death. (B) The system issues described in this audit were resolved as of April 2020 for fee-for-service claims and November 2020 for capitation payments. Once a beneficiary's date-of-death is verified, payments that were made after to the date-of-death will be recovered through the Department's existing processes. As noted in the Department?s response to Recommendation (A), the Department will create written procedures documenting system and monitoring processes used to prevent claims from paying after a beneficiary?s date-of-death is verified. In addition, the procedures will document the processes used to recover payments made between a beneficiary?s verified date-of-death and the date the Colorado interChange system is updated with the date-of-death. (C) The review for FFS claims is complete and all Notices of Adverse Action have been sent to providers. At this time we are waiting on any requests for informal reconsiderations, appeals, and/or payments to process.
(A) The Department continues to work with the Fiscal Agent to ensure that the required database matches occur and the interChange properly displays the results of Social Security Number and Federal Employer Identification Number verifications for all providers.

(B) The Department will review and revise, as necessary, its taxi claim billing requirements and rates to ensure that they are consistent. In addition, the Department will devise controls to ensure that taxi claims are paid in accordance with established requirements and rates and explore controls to ensure that only permitted providers bill as a taxi. The Department is working on reductions in the max fee and unit limits for taxi claim billing codes, which it will have completed by the end of October 2021. In addition, the Department is considering systematically pricing the code at each taxi provider?s specific Public Utilities Commission (PUC) rate. This change, if pursued, will require a system change request, which will take a year or more, which is why the Department has selected an implementation date of December 2022. If this proves infeasible, alternate controls will be implemented. HCPF has met with DORA PUC. The Department is trying to establish a process to decide if the PUC taxi rate still applies or an internal rate can be created. Because of these discussions and needed system changes the implementation date has been moved to December 2023. (D) The Department intends to define in rule the types of documentation that NEMT providers must keep on hand and make clear that they must furnish records to the Department upon request. The July 2022 date will allow for the completion of formal rulemaking. The Department further intends to develop and implement a process to perform regular risk-based provider file reviews with a focus on noncompliant providers. These reviews will ensure, at a minimum, that the providers? paid claims are supported with appropriate documentation and represent the least costly option appropriate to meet each recipient?s needs. The Department met with the RAC team on February 22, 2023 to come up with a process to perform small audits for claims from providers that are outside the Intelliride service area. New systems will be implemented which has pushed the anticipated completion date to December 2023. (E) The Department will amend its contract with its NEMT broker by adding a mandatory annual audit so that it can reconcile trip scheduling data with paid claims data. This will help ensure that the Department pays accurately, pays for NEMT services, and pays for the least costly transportation option appropriate for each recipient. The Department chose July 2022 to add the audit through its annual contract amendment and renewal processes. The contract amendment was completed and signed June 30, 2022 that included a clause for an annual audit of claims. (F) The Department will develop a data review process to reconcile interChange data on NEMT trip claims to interChange data on Medicaid medical claims. This process will entail periodic reviews of NEMT claims to see if members have corresponding medical claims on those dates. If they do not, the Department will follow up with the appropriate NEMT provider to investigate. The July 2022 implementation date reflects the potential need for system changes. This is implemented, the Department has been pulling claims data and where corresponding medical claims are not found HCPF is investigating on a case by case basis to find the cause. (G) Department staff will work with the Department?s Program Integrity (PI) staff on processes to investigate and recover, as appropriate, the overpayments and inappropriate payments that the audit identified as known or likely questioned costs, and repay the federal portion, as appropriate. The December 2022 implementation date reflects the time needed to investigate and when appropriate, recover any overpayments. This has been implemented and the federal portion has been returned to CMS. (H) The Department will develop a process to track staff time and productivity to ensure that it has sufficient staff assigned to oversee and administer NEMT. This process will include documenting time spent each week on various tasks to get a sense of where help is needed, and which tasks take up the most staff resources. Based on its findings, the Department will explore staffing options, as needed. The Department selected the July 2022 implementation date to allow for data collection through the end of State Fiscal Year 2021-22. This has been implemented. New NEMT staff was hired November 1, 2022 to act as the liaison to the counties and clients in the 55 counties outside of the Intelliride service area.

The Department did not have strong enough controls for the initial checks on the financial data reporting templates. This process has been updated and will be rectified in coming cycles. The Department has modified its templates in order to address the concerns provided by the auditors including signatures and supplemental reporting. Written policies and procedures for the validation and audit of the templates are being developed currently and will be in place and effective in December 2022. The Department will be correcting this error by posting the audit results along with other quality and audit reports on the following site: https:hcpf.colorado.gov/quality-and-healthimprovement-reports.

(B) The Department will continue our existing proactive approach to minimize this issue. The resolution of a SSN discrepancy is addressed through manual intervention by county eligibility technicians when identified through the system edit implemented in December 2020. The Department will continue the existing process to address duplicate SSNs. The Department has already made significant progress to monitor CBMS through the use of CBMS monitoring dashboards. These dashboards allow the Department to monitor and perform daily analysis. The Department meets bi-weekly to discuss findings and next steps to resolve any issues identified through the dashboard. These dashboards are being implemented over time as areas of improvements are identified. As part of the Department's continual improvement strategy, SSN discrepancy reports are included in the next implementation phase of the monitoring dashboards scheduled for June 2023. The Department will develop and implement policies and procedures outlining how the report will be used to effectively monitor and correct SSN and State ID discrepancies. Once that work is complete, the Department will send updated written guidance to our county and medical assistance sites on how to use system edits, reports, and dashboards to resolve duplicate SSNs.

(A) The Department and CBMS teams have strengthened their internal controls to ensure payments are only made to providers for eligible members. The Department and CBMS teams will update all member records identified on the Monthly Reconciliation report once the Public Health Emergency ends. TRAILS team has provided additional training to the Case Managers to prevent data integrity issues being submitted to CBMS and interChange; however, the TRAILS team does not plan to update the system's internal controls until funding is available. (B) The Department agrees to review the monthly eligibility reconciliation report and is looking forward to resolving the member records once the Public Health Emergency ends to fully resolve the audit finding.

(B) The Department agrees to develop and implement policies and procedures requiring Department staff to perform reconciliations of recipient agencies? and Regional Food Banks? physical inventories to the Web-based Supply Chain Management system to ensure inventory records are complete and accurate. Starting in January 2021 the Department began developing a position description for an Inventory Specialist with the focus of ensuring accurate and thorough accounting of all year-end inventory and reconciliations. The position was hired in April 2021. Due to the implementation of the inventory database and the timing of beginning and ending inventories, the Department anticipates being able to do a full reconciliation of inventories by December 2022. (C) The Department agrees to develop and implement a tracking system for food inventory at recipient agencies and Regional Food Banks using the Web Supply Chain Management system receipts as the basis of food received, including the maintenance of supporting documents. The Department is undertaking an inventory overhaul which includes implementing a new inventory database and creating and hiring an Inventory Specialist. The Department recognized the need for inventory software and started the process of obtaining it in June 2020. In May 2021, the Department received a signed licensing agreement for a new database which is expected to be implemented in six months per an OIT timeline. In addition to the database, the Department recently hired a new Inventory Specialist position. This position will lead the development of policies, procedures, inventory reconciliations, and monthly report management. Once the Inventory Specialist has a comprehensive understanding of federal and state policy and the new database software, the Department will develop policies and procedures, training for partner agencies, and roll out new requirements for the tracking and reconciliation of program inventories.

February 2, 2023 Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit The City of Riverside respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP 203 N. Brea Blvd, Suite 203 Brea, CA 92821 Audit period: 07/01/2021 to 06/30/2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. 2022-001 ? Significant Deficiency and Compliance Finding: Timeliness of Payments made to Subrecipients Federal Award Information Federal agencies: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program Title: Emergency Solutions Grant Program Award Numbers: E-20-MW-06-0538 and E-21-MC-06-0538 Award Years: 2021-2022 Criteria: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that payments to subrecipients for allowable costs be made within 30 days after receiving the subrecipient?s complete payment request. Condition: The City did not comply with the 30-day time period requirement for two of its subrecipients since payments to subrecipients for allowable costs were issued 42 days and 46 days after the City received the payment requests. The City has a total of five subrecipients for the program. Cause of Condition: Per inquiry with the Housing Authority Manager, the invoices were not submitted within the required timeframe because purchase orders had to be created before payment to the subrecipient could be processed. Effect or Potential Effect of Condition: The creation of purchase orders prior to the payments to subrecipients being issued led to some delays in the issuance of the payment. Questioned Costs: None. Context: For the year being audited, the payments that were late were the first payment to these subrecipients since no other payment request related to the program appear to have been submitted late. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement a process to ensure that payments to subrecipients be issued within the 30-day time period as required by the Compliance supplement. Management?s Response and Corrective Action: The City is taking corrective action to ensure that purchase requisitions are completed timely and proactive communication from the originating department on the status of purchase orders is provided more frequently to ensure that vendors are paid within 30 days after receiving the subrecipient?s complete payment request. The name of the contact person responsible for the corrective action: Michelle Davis. The anticipated completion date for the corrective action: February 28,2023. If the Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit has questions regarding this corrective action plan, please contact Nancy Garcia, Controller, ngarcia@riversideca.gov.
