• 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.

• 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.
