2022-001 ? Noncompliance regarding Reporting ALN #93.498 Provider Relief Funds U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Criteria: Recipients of Provider Relief Funds (PRF) are subject to mandatory reporting to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through the PRF Reporting Portal. For the Phase 2 funds received, the Organization was required to report actual patient care revenue for the 2019, 2020, and 2021 calendar years. Condition: Management reported Medicaid patient care revenue for fiscal years ending June 30, 2019, 2020, and 2021 rather than on a calendar year. Patient care revenue received from the county alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health board (ADAMH), self-pay, and other pay sources were excluded from reporting. Cause: The PRF User Guide issued by HRSA for reporting through the PRF Reporting Portal was not followed by management regarding the reporting of actual patient care revenue. Effect: Actual patient care revenue reported to HRSA was inaccurate and incomplete. Furthermore, it resulted in a significant overstatement of the calculation of lost revenues. Recommendation: For future reporting of Federal funding, we recommend management follow the issued directions for reporting, fully and completely. Management?s Response: Refer to the Corrective Action Plan.
