The Authority did not file the quarterly Medical Assistance reports timely.
Criteria
Quarterly Statement of Expenditures for the Medical Assistance Program are due thirty days after the end of the quarter.
Condition
The Authority filed three of the Quarterly Statement of Expenditures for the Medical Assistance Program after the specified due date. The first three quarters were filed past the due date. The fourth quarter was filed timely.
Cause
Reports were not prepared prior to the due date. The Authority was waiting for data on ineligible trips that prevented filing in a timely manner.
Effect
Consistent late reporting could result in delayed grant funding.
Recommendation
The Authority should prepare the Quarterly Statement of Expenditures for the Medical Assistance Program prior to the due date in order to ensure timely reporting.
Management's Response
The Authority will include an insignificant number of ineligible trips on the following quarter so as not to hold up current
quarter reporting.
