Malvern Behavioral Health – Chester County – Amended Financial Report for the Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022

An amended financial report for Malvern Behavioral Health was submitted to the Department of Human Services (DHS) by the Auditor General of Pennsylvania, analyzing costs for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The report covers various adjustments, mainly focused on ensuring the accuracy of paid Medicaid (MA) days, charges, and discharges based on DHS-provided data. Aimed at certifying costs for establishing Medical Assistance reimbursement rates, the report identifies necessary adjustments due to discrepancies in reported and actual MA data. A detailed examination resulted in a reevaluation of MA days, discharges, and charges, as reported in the July 22, 2024, Cost Settlement Report from PROMISe™, a DHS data system. The auditor confirmed the reliability of paid MA charges but noted indeterminate reliability of paid MA days and discharges. Despite this, the DHS did not require further reliability procedures. The adjusted costs will help in setting the reimbursement rate for Malvern Behavioral Health, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
