Recommendation Details
Text of Recommendation
We recommend that the Office of Programs strengthen its controls over the penalty calculation process and the accuracy of supporting data by establishing a penalty and refund review process to include both the standard form worksheet and USTAR tracking. The worksheet and supporting calculation and documentation should be reviewed, authorized, and dated by a second claims examiner and/or supervisor (if over 100 percent) on the worksheet, and tracked within USTAR. The review authorization should attest to the accuracy and completeness of the penalty or refund calculation, electronic filing of supporting documents, and beneficiary notification and confirmation.
