Latest Audit Report Highlights Enforcement Activity Outside Program Audits
June

In CMS’s latest audit report, the agency confirms what an earlier AIS Health analysis of compliance notices indicated: the agency imposed approximately $1 million in civil money penalties (CMPs) based on 2021 referrals, and nearly half of that stemmed from one-third financial audit findings. CMS, meanwhile, cautioned the industry not to read too much into the latest audit results as they relate to 2020, when CMS audited a relatively small number of plans due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE).
In the 2021 Part C and Part D Program Audit and Enforcement Report, published on June 7, CMS said it imposed 16 CMPs amounting to $1,043,953, or an average of $65,247 per CMP. Sponsors audited in 2021 covered 26% of enrollment.
