COLORADO FAMILY PLANNING PROGRAM EXPENDITURE REVENUE REPORT

(ERR)

Presented on 12/15/14 by Krystel Banks-Thomas

This presentation:2

Includes an overview of the Expenditure Revenue Report (ERR) as well as details about how to complete the ERR.

Is designed for delegate agency staff who will be completing the ERR.

What is an ERR?3

The ERR is a tool designed by CDPHE to capture financial information needed for the Title X Family Planning Annual Report.

Why do we need an ERR?4

In order to be competitive for Title X funding, CDPHE pledged statewide “match” of local family planning program funds.

The ERR is the tool we use to collect this financial data from all contractors that will be aggregated and reported to the Feds.

The ERR also helps CDPHE identify revenue trends, such as contractor success in billing insurance and Medicaid.

ERR Overview6

Contractors are required to submit ONE ERR per calendar year for the period January through December.

Report is due to Krystel Banks-Thomas on January 15, 2015.

Contractors will be asked to submit match information (as pledged in original approved budgets) at the end of the contract period, or in June 2014. Not in an ERR format, but similar information.

Tips for preparing the ERR8

Start by gathering (1) Family Planning Program Non-CDPHE funding for the year(2) financial reports for your agency’s entire family planning program for the year from your accounting department.

Please note that information is required from Fiscal Year 14 AND current Fiscal Year projects

Accrual Versus Cash Accounting9

• There are 2 distinct ways agencies can do their accounting: (1) accrual or (2) cash.

1. Accrual basis: Expenses and revenue are recorded as soon as they are incurred (regardless of when the expense is paid or the funds received).

2. Cash basis: Expenses are recorded when they are paid; revenue is recorded when payment is received.

ERR and Accrual Basis10

Your ERR must be done via accrual accounting.

CDPHE consolidates this information into a federal report requiring accrual accounting.

The ERR instructions will direct you to report using the accrual method.

What’s New11

CDPHE will no longer request you to complete column A. We have all this information and will complete that column.

You’re only required to give us your non-CDPHE funding.

Expenditures: Non-CDPHE Funding12

Using your agency’s financial reports, calculate and enter personal services, contractual services, operating expenses and indirect/administrative costs that were paid using other sources of funding in 2014. This information should reflect expenditures from all non-CDPHE funding streams.

Expenditures: Non-CDPHE Funding13

• Use the accrual accounting method.

• If your agency’s financial reports show a December 2014 expense in January 2015, payroll for example, report that total in the 2014 ERR.

• Conversely, if a December 2013 expense is included in your agency’s January 2014 financial reports, subtract this total. It would not be included as a 2014 expense and should have been reported in the 2013 ERR.

Revenue: Non –CDPHE Funding14

Enter all non-CDPHE revenue in two major categories:

Payment for Services Other Revenue

Revenue: Non –CDPHE Funding15

Payment for Services

Client Fees/Self-Pay Client Donations Medicaid Medicare State Children’s Health Insurance (CHP+) Public Health Insurance Private Health Insurance

Revenue: Non –CDPHE Funding16

When reporting payment for service revenue, please report

billed and yet-to-be-billed amounts even if

reimbursement has not been received.

Please focus on collecting the most up-to-date information

in these sections. Typically, income from insurance and

Medicaid is under-reported. The Federal government is

especially interested in this revenue, especially as the

Affordable Care Act unfolds.

Revenue: Non –CDPHE Funding17

Other Revenue

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Local Government Grants and Contracts (For

many agencies this number can be calculated by subtracting all other revenue from the total program expenditure total.)

Other – Please list and specify the source of all other family planning program revenue.

Revenue: Non –CDPHE Funding18

As mentioned earlier, please be as accurate as possible

when reporting program revenue. This includes amounts

that have not been reimbursed yet.

Besides the Federal government’s interest in how

federally-funded programs are complemented by other

payers, including Medicaid, CDPHE strives to identify

trends and areas that can be improved by technical

assistance and other resources.

Unspent Funds19

In column B, Revenue minus Expenditures will automatically calculate.

In column B, update the unspent funds from prior periods. You can find this on your agency’s prior period ERR.

Equipment20

If your agency used Title X funds to purchase a single piece of equipment valued at more than $5,000 during this time period (or at your agency’s capitalization threshold), it must be listed in the Expenditure section. CDPHE staff will reach out to you to request additional information as equipment must be reported.
