Finding Text

Program Name: 93.778 Medicaid Description: Unallowable costs and reporting Condition and Criteria: On a quarterly basis, the District must file with Wisconsin Medicaid the wages and benefits of direct medical service providers with whom the District requests reimbursement from Wisconsin Medicaid. During our testing, we noted 6 individuals that were funded, in full or in part, by another federal agency and those salaries were not entered into the “compensated federal revenue” column of the quarterly reports. Cause: Not reporting the expenditures reimbursed by IDEA and ESSER grants to Medicaid was an oversight by the District. Effect: The District claimed 6 individuals salaries (in full or in part) to multiple federal grants. Questioned Costs: $89,326. Identification of a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Auditors’ Recommendation: We recommend the District review individuals charged to Medicaid against individuals charged to other federal grants to ensure the District is not receiving the reimbursement twice. Views of Responsible Officials: See attachment for the District’s corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Corrective Action Plan: The District will complete a cross-check of all Medicaid claims to ensure we are not also claiming those costs to other federal grants. Anticipated Corrective Action Plan Completion Date: November 2025 Contact Information: For additional information regarding this finding please contact Bill Trewyn, Business Manager, at 262-741-9143.
