(The Center Square) – An Antioch nursing home was found to have refunded credit balances of more than $130,000 for deceased or discharged residents.

An investigation from the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office resulted in six findings in the financial operations at Good Samaritan Health and Rehab Center.

The credit balances related to 93 former residents with $83,422 due to residents or their representatives and $55,636 due to Medicaid.

The audit also found the nursing home allowed 10 residents’ trust fund balances to exceed the Medicaid resource limit of $2,000.

Good Samaritan included more than $281,000 in nonallowable expenses on its 2022 Medicaid Cost Report and more than $26,500 in nonallowable expenses on Schedule C of its supplemental cost report.

“Although our auditors made several findings during their examination, I’m pleased to see the facility taking action,” Comptroller Jason Mumpower said. “Management has outlined a series of steps to improve financial practices, and I encourage them to move forward with correcting these issues.”
