CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN May 22, 2023 United States Department of Health and Human Services Community Health Services, Inc. respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2022. CohnReznick LLP 350 Church Street Hartford, CT 06103 Audit Period: December 31, 2022 The findings from the December 31, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FEDERAL AWARDS FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2021.001 ? Sliding Fee Scale Discount Recommendation The Center should implement controls to ensure proper slide fee discounts are provided. Action Taken The Center implemented internal controls to mitigate the risk of missing sliding fee discount documentation. The creation of this control consisted of designing a report that would identify all sliding fee discount applicants for the specified timeframe, as well as identify whether supporting documentation had been scanned into the patient?s electronic health record. As a result of the repeated finding, the Center added an additional layer of review. The Director of Development, Grants and Outreach reviews all slide applications before they are scanned and entered into the electronic health record and applied to the patient?s account. The Center will continue monthly internal auditing procedures where an Eligibility Specialist haphazardly selects slide applications from the previous month to ensure compliance. If the Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit has questions regarding this plan, please call: Dianna Kulmacz, CFO at (860) 808-8765. Sincerely yours, Dianna Kulmacz Chief Financial Officer
