During our compliance testing of federal awards, we noted that income information for 2 out of 30 patients tested was incorrectly entered into the system, leading to improper application of sliding fee discounts. Additionally, for 3 out of 30 patients tested, sliding fee calculations were accurate when using net income. However, the Sliding Fee Discount Program application explicitly requires gross income figures. Neither the program application form nor the related policies indicated that net income should be utilized.
