Finding Text
During our review of siding fee discounts, we noted the Center is not properly documenting eligibility for participation in the sliding fee program. We noted the majority of samples we selected for testing; the sliding fee discounts applied were not properly calculated. Due to the errors in the calculation for the discounts, the discounts are either over or under applied to the patient’s bill and management was not able to prevent or detect and correct the discounts on a timely basis. The amount of likely questioned costs is $212,179.
