Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services
Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution
Federal Assistance Listing #93.498
Finding Summary: In some of the quarters for certain entities, it was noted that bad debt expenses were higher than revenues, creating a negative revenue for the quarter. As the HHS reporting portal would not allow negative amounts to be entered, a zero was entered into the HHS reporting portal. These negative amounts should have been offset to other quarters or other revenue line items, but were not, which resulted in higher revenue amounts being reported than the detailed reports supported for two locations for Period 3.
Responsible Individuals: Craig Lambrecht, CEO and Cole Turner, CFO
Corrective Action Plan: The lost revenue calculation for these two locations will be re-evaluated and the amount of lost revenue reported on the HHS reporting portal will be updated in future periods.
Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing
