Limited reviews involving commercial payers may also be performed based on organizational need.

Responsibilities:

Auditing and Monitoring (70%)

• Conduct risk-based, prospective, and retrospective audits of Medicaid claims and records.
• Determine whether documentation meets payer requirements. Impose internal billing holds where pre-billing audits find documentation does not meet billing standards.
• Evaluate coding and billing accuracy using applicable CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10-CM, Medicaid program, waiver, managed-care, and state-specific requirements.
• Support billing-related risk assessments, investigations, payer audits, government inquiries, and compliance reviews as assigned.

Reporting and Corrective Action (10%)

• Maintain complete and defensible audit reports documenting audit objectives, criteria, methodology, samples, evidence reviewed, exceptions, conclusions, and reviewer decisions.
• Analyze findings to identify patterns, control weaknesses, potential financial exposure, and opportunities for process improvement.
• Prepare concise written reports, dashboards, and presentations that communicate findings and recommended actions to Compliance leadership and appropriate stakeholders.
• Recommend practical corrective actions and collaborate with accountable leaders to establish responsibilities, target dates, and validation measures.
• Monitor corrective-action progress, perform follow-up testing, and determine whether remediation is effective and sustainable.
• Maintain records of findings, corrective actions, management responses, and closure evidence.

Cross-Functional Collaboration and Audit Technology (10%)

• Work collaboratively with various departments while preserving the objectivity of the Compliance audit function.
• Help evaluate and implement audit-management platforms, compliance-monitoring software, analytics tools, dashboards, and automated exception-reporting capabilities.
• Use approved data analytics and AI-assisted auditing technologies to analyze claims and documentation, identify outliers, prioritize higher-risk records, recognize recurring patterns, and expand audit coverage.

Consultation and Regulatory Support (10%)

• Serve as a subject-matter resource on Medicaid billing, coding, documentation, reimbursement, and audit requirements.
• Monitor relevant Medicaid billing manuals, waiver requirements, regulatory updates, payer guidance, coding changes, and enforcement activity.
• Identify education needs arising from audit results and provide content expertise to various departments.
• Assist with the development or revision of organization policies and procedures
