During a review conducted on September 11, 2025, it was determined that: (1) your operation?s administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan(s); and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. As you know, the heightened monitoring plans for your operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the 12-month mark by which your operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring?. As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with heightened monitoring plans, your operation is now unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring. Furthermore, your operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended. Further details of the failure of your operation?s administrator to ensure compliance include the following: -Operation failed to demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring, including having an open investigation(s). Finding: 749.635(2)?AP CPA administrator responsibilities- Ensure that the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plans.
