Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management will track patients per month to evaluate whether actual patient volume is meeting the expected patient volume. The Organization, at year-end, will assess whether the actual patient volume for the year met the expected patient volume and has earned all the recorded revenue. If overpayment was made, the Organization will adjust the recorded revenue to reflect actual earned revenue. Individual(s) Responsible: Magda Mijares, Controller Adron Cooley, Revenue Cycle Manager Anticipated Date of Completion: Organization started evaluating as soon as the issue was known on 5/16/2023 and will continue to do so for the rest of the grant period.

Item 2022-001 (Recurring): Improving Internal Controls over Reimbursement Requests Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303 requires that internal control must provide reasonable assurance that the Center complies with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and its grant agreements. In the context of reporting to granting agencies, internal control must be established to ensure that reports are submitted accurately and timely. Condition: For the fiscal year under audit, reimbursement requests were prepared and submitted to the granting agency by a single individual who also prepares the accounting records from which the requests are prepared. Cause: The Center has not adopted control activities over the reimbursement request process, such as segregation of duties or secondary review. Effect: Reimbursement requests could be sent to the granting agency with errors and omissions or not on time. Recommendation: We recommend that the Center segregate the duty of submission of the reports to another individual not involved with preparation of accounting records or the reports themselves to allow for secondary review.

Finding 2022-001 Condition/Context During the audit of the program in the prior year, known questioned costs of $30,174 were identified related to expenses improperly applied to the funding. In the Period 4 submission, the Organization should have corrected the error by reducing lost revenues reported for the amount of known questioned costs identified in the prior year as instructed by the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA). Lost revenues reported in the Period 4 submission were not properly reduced for the known questioned costs identified. In addition, the Period 4 submission and lost revenue calculation did not contain a review and approval prior to submission to detect potential errors of this nature. This is not a statistically valid sample. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The Organization agrees with the finding. The next required filing will be reduced by the $30,174 which should have been done in Period 4. Segregation of duties between the preparation of the reports and the review/approval of them, including reviewing all supporting documents, is in place.
