| Stay in the Know With the Foundation's Annual Report | |
|
The Medical Foundation of Nashville and Project Access Nashville are thriving and continuing to serve patients and our community! Even amid COVID, we are enrolling more new patients each month than we were at this same time last year, and we have been providing COVID related education and other education to physicians and physicians in training at no cost. The webinar recording below, "Other People's Perspective," is one of the recent webinars made possible by the Medical Foundation of Nashville.

| Webinar Recording - Other People's Perspective | |
|
As part of the Nashville Academy of Medicine's continuing webinar series, the Academy featured Kimberlee Wyche-Etheridge, MD, MPH, with Meharry Medical College as she shared a presentation on "Other People's Perspective: A different way of looking at health disparities." The content was delivered in a way that is beneficial not only for physicians, but also for their staffs and our community. NAM and MFN are incorporating this into the diversity training for our team, and we invite you to do the same.

| New Audit Requirements for Healthcare Entities Receiving HHS Relief Grants | |
|
By KraftCPAs
Healthcare entities that received federal funding related to COVID-19 relief programs may now be subject to single audit requirements under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memorandums including Provider Relief Fund, the Coronavirus Relief Fund and other HHS programs. More guidance from the OMB is expected to follow on some of these programs.
Nonprofit and Governmental Entities
Nonprofit and governmental entities (i.e., states, local governments and not-for-profits) will be subject to single audit requirements if the entity has annual total federal awards expended of $750,000 or more.
For-Profit Entities
The Health and Human Services (HHS) has provided guidance that for-profit entities (medical practices, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, ASCs, etc.) will also be subject to single audit requirements if the entity received annual total awards of $750,000 or more in federal funds. For-profit entities can meet this audit requirement by obtaining a financial audit of an award or multiple HHS programs in accordance with Government Auditing Standards or a full single audit that meets the requirements contained in Subpart F of the Uniform Guidance.
Filing deadlines for the audits are as follows:
