New York Implemented Effective Internal Controls Over Hurricane Sandy Social Services Block Grant Funds and Appropriately Budgeted and Claimed Allowable Costs
The Administration for Children and Families awarded $235.4 million in Disaster Relief Act funding to New York State for Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) activities, including social, health, and mental health services for individuals and for the repair, renovation, and rebuilding of health care, mental health, and childcare facilities.
The National Institutes of Health awarded $299,000 to Columbia University (Columbia) to replace research resources lost or damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Columbia claimed allowable Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Act costs for the period January 31, 2014, through February 28, 2015. Accordingly, this report does not contain recommendations.
Wesley Medical Center (the Hospital) (operating in Wichita, Kansas) complied with Medicare billing requirements for 208 of the 246 inpatient and outpatient claims we reviewed. However, the Hospital did not fully comply with Medicare billing requirements for the remaining 38 claims, resulting in overpayments of $182,000 for calendar years 2012 and 2013. Specifically, 27 inpatient claims had billing errors, resulting in overpayments of over $92,000, and 11 outpatient claims had billing errors, resulting in overpayments of over $89,000. These errors occurred primarily because the Hospital did not have adequate controls to prevent the incorrect billing of Medicare claims within the selected risk areas that contained errors.
