2022-020 Improve Controls over the NCCI Medically Unlikely Edits Process Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services State Entity: Department of Community Health (DCH) Corrective Action Plans: DCH has made changes to ensure proper record keeping and approval is maintained. The changes made to Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs) occurred in 2017, several years prior to the audit in 2022. Moving forward, policy compliance specialists for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) will be required to sign an employee attestation that acknowledges and ensures they understand the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) as outlined in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services? (CMS) technical guidance manual in section 7.4. This change will be implemented on June 30, 2023. CMS approval of all MUE changes are maintained through the Georgia Medicaid Management Information System (GAMMIS) Georgia Interactive Portal. Upon approval from CMS to deactivate a MUE, the program policy specialist initiates a change order through the Georgia Interactive Portal requesting the current MUE edits to be deactivated and then modified per CMS approval. The approval from CMS is submitted as part of the request. The change order needs to be approved by management before changes can be made in GAMMIS. This process went into effect after the MUE changes made in 2017 in November of 2018.

Finding 2022-002: Significant Deficiency ? Reporting - Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Condition/Context: The quarterly and annual reporting contained some information that did not agree to support provided, and some of the quarterly reports were not posted to the University?s website within the required time frame. ? For both the institutional and student portions of the grant, there was no quarterly report for the period ending June 30, 2021. Reporting was posted for the period ending May 30, 2021 which reported the final activities for the second round of HEERF awards. There were drawdowns that occurred during the month of June 2021 for both portions of the third round of HEERF funding that were incorrectly included in the September 30, 2021 quarterly reports. ? The University?s institutional portion quarterly report for September 30, 2021 reported the total for only lost revenue from auxiliary sources and this did not agree to support provided. ? The 2021 annual report had some information that did not agree to the underlying support provided by the University. Specifically, the total for lost revenue and the total for other uses, and the required two new uses (direct outreach and monitoring and suppressing) were not reported although the support file provided did include costs for those items. Corrective Action Plan: Management recognizes the significant deficiency, yet stands firm that that the guidance (FAQs, webinars, web posting, templates) for the HEERF reporting by the US Department of Education was confusing, contradictory, and ever-evolving. Management did its best to follow the reporting requirements, and as a result, will do the following to address this matter going forward. -Verify in writing from the US Department of Education that the actions taken from the university meet the reporting requirements -Require that all three leaders that interface with HEERF (Vice President for Planning and Finance, Controller, Director of Financial Aid and Student Accounts) review the reporting requirements and supporting documentation -Update the 2021 Annual report by adding $750 for ?Implementing evidence-based practices to monitor and suppress coronavirus in accordance with public health guidelines? and $1,400 for ?conducting direct outreach to financial aid applicants about the opportunity to receive financial aid adjustment due to the recent unemployment of a family member or independent students, or other circumstances? out of the $4M received of institutional funds.

Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and on Compliance with Reporting and Special Tests and Provisions Name and Contact Person: Janet Cadzow, Finance Director Corrective Action: When the ERA1 report for the period ending June 30, 2022 was completed Native Village of Fort Yukon had the intention of spending the entire amount of ERA1 funds that were awarded to them. However, the number of ERA applicants decreased after the June 30, 2022 report was submitted. When the report was completed, the staff was not aware of the Treasury?s definition of obligated and did not have funds promised in a commitment letter. Currently the staff has the knowledge of the Treasury?s definition of obligated and the mistake will not be repeated. The final ERA1 report combined Housing Stability Services with Administration costs on the Administrative Cost Line in the report. When the report was completed, the staff had problems accessing the report in the portal. They attempted to reach out for assistance in the portal but were unable to get an answer. The report was completed with combined Administrative Expenses and Housing Stability Services to submit the report by the deadline. NVFY has reached out to the grantor to correct the report with the costs separated out. NVFY believes the problems they had with reporting portal is the cause of the finding and they did everything they could do to be in compliance. Proposed Completion Date: Already completed.
