What is a management decision? →During our testing of this compliance requirement, we noted the company billed a small percentage of patients an amount greater than what an in-network patient would have been billed. Cause: The company did not have internal controls in place to identify patients diagnosed with COVID and to properly bill them in accordance with this new federal grant revenue requirements.
