Review of Pension Costs Claimed for Medicare Reimbursement by Cooperativa de Seguros de Vida de Puerto Rico, for Fiscal Years 1996 Through 2006

Executive Summary

Cooperativa de Seguros de Vida de Puerto Rico (COSVI) claimed $99,000 of unallowable Medicare pension costs for fiscal years 1996 through 2006, primarily because COSVI calculated pension expense using the contributions to the pension plan instead of computing pension costs in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards 412 and 413, as required by the Medicare contracts.
