Criteria: Allocated costs should not be greater than allowed under the funding agreement. Cause: Due to turnover and other priorities, the allocation of payroll costs was not properly monitored. Effect: The Institute was not in compliance with the allocation limits required within this program. Context: A haphazardly selected sample of 25 program payroll selections totaling $15,292 was selected for audit from a population totaling $151,786 of program payroll-related costs. The test found 11 selections were not in compliance with payroll costs allocated to an extent greater than allowed in the funding agreement. The known questioned costs related to this issue totaled approximately $3,700. Recommendation: Management should implement a system and internal control process to ensure proper allocation of program costs. Management?s Response: Policies and procedures have been established to properly meet the recommendation.

Although evidence of review was not retained for every charge to the COVID department, we believe the appropriateness of the charge was reasonable. Additionally, based on monthly review of departmental expenses and full-time equivalent (FTE) analysis at the facility level, we believe that these expenditures are subject to the appropriate level of review to identify unexpected variances. We plan to review our processes related to the retention of expense documentation to improve audit evidence.

Condition: During testing of CFDA 93.461 HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program the auditor identified one eligibility finding related to a patient selected for testing who was uninsured at the time of service, but the patient subsequently applied for and received coverage under Medicaid with a retroactive coverage effective date prior to the date of service. UCHealth should have controls and processes in place to identify retroactive insurance coverage for patients treated under the program to ensure HRSA reimbursement is not received for patients with insurance coverage. Planned Corrective Action: This account was reviewed. Emergency Medicaid was found and attached to the account and a full refund to HRSA COVID-19 was processed on 2/1/2023 in the amount of $50,808.16 on check #431627. Review of the account demonstrated that system actions identified the correct Medicaid coverage and flagged for manual review.
