Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs

March 31, 2019

Repeat Finding A similar finding was included in the 2018 Single Audit Report as finding 2018-032 on pages 92 – 93. Recommendation We recommend the Department’s staff continue the monitoring controls implemented as a part of their corrective action plan from the 2018 Single Audit Report and continue working with CMS to obtain final approval over the model contracts submitted. Once approved, executed contract agreements with MLTC and MCO providers should also be obtained. Further, given the significant time period required for CMS approval, we recommend the Department to work with CMS on the approval of future model contracts in a timeframe to allow for its execution prior to current contract expirations. Views of Responsible Officials The Department accepts this recommendation and has refined its strategies and controls and will continue to work in its capacity to ensure timely contracts are in place for Managed Long Term Care plans. Corrective actions in progress. Reference corrective action plan for more details.
