Verification Review -Recommendations for the Report, "Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement's Safety of Dams: Emergency Preparedness" (WR-EV-MOA-0015-2011)
The New Jersey Department of Human Services (State agency) did not always pay electronic health record (EHR) incentive payments in accordance with Federal and State requirements. The State agency made incorrect EHR incentive payments to 15 hospitals totaling $2.5 million. Specifically, the State agency overpaid 10 hospitals a total of $2.4 million and underpaid 5 hospitals a total of $137,000 for a net overpayment of almost $2.3 million. Because the incentive payment is calculated once and then paid out over 3 years, payments made after September 30, 2013, will also be incorrect. The adjustments to these payments total $514,000. Additionally, the State agency did not report one professional incentive payment to the National Level Repository (NLR). The State agency correctly paid the five professional groups we reviewed.
