Our Requirements
Preferred, but not required:
More About Your Role
On September 8, 2008, HMS was awarded the first of two Medicaid Integrity Program (MIP) Task Orders by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Under this Task Order, HMS will examine payments to providers made under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, with the objective of identifying potential overpayments made as a result of fraud, waste, or abuse.
HMS will perform these services in the CMS Medicaid Integrity Group (MIG) Dallas Jurisdiction, which includes NM, TX, OK, AR, LA, MT, ND, SD, WY, UT, & CO.
HMS is now the CMS Audit Medicaid Integrity Contractor (Audit MIC) for 22 state and territory Medicaid programs across the country.
The scope of the Audit MIC work is identifying overpayments of Medicaid providers through Medical Review, and the audit team you will supervise will be reviewing medical records and comparing the claims to both the Medical Records and the Medicaid policy governing specific types of services.
Your mission as the Audit Manager will be to ensure audit accuracy and timeliness, monitor audit decisions, prepare and submit required reports, and manage assignments and audit workload. The Audit team is comprised of both HMS and Partner Senior and Staff Auditors who spend the majority of their time (92%) conducting desk reviews and the balance in the field performing on-site audits. Since these audits are clinically focused not billing focused, a key part of your role will be developing the clinical aptitude of your auditors.
The HMS leadership team recognizes the strategic importance of the CMS initiative, and as a result you will have access to the resources you need to make it a success, such as additional staff. You'll find our environment refreshing in its lack of bureaucracy and "red tape."
Keys to Success
Outstanding communication skills are perhaps the most critical success factor for this role as you will be working with and presenting to a variety of individuals and groups, including state departments, Medicaid providers, and the HMS management team. You will also have regular interaction with CMS, including weekly phone calls and, less frequently, in-person meetings. The goal of these meetings will be to ensure client satisfaction and manage expectations. In addition, we'll look to you to keep an eye out for opportunities to expand the current contract or provide services in other areas.
Second to being a great communicator, you'll need to be passionate about our mission. Our bottom line goal is reducing fraud, waste, or abuse, and our most successful - and happiest - audit leaders share in that passion and bring a high level of energy to reaching our targets.
