ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This position requires strong project management, audit, data analysis, written communication, and judgment skills, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority matters and regulatory deadlines simultaneously.

• Serve as the primary coordinator and project lead for external audit, regulatory, investigative, and information requests from MFCUs, UPICs, DOJ, OIG, Attorneys General, state Medicaid programs, MCO clients, and other authorized oversight entities.

• Prepare and organize response packages, including data files, supporting records, exhibits, document indexes, summaries, chronologies, and draft written responses, consistent with request requirements and internal review standards.
• Coordinate with Legal and Compliance on matters requiring legal interpretation, privilege considerations, regulatory strategy, escalation, or review of proposed responses; promptly escalate potential compliance, fraud, abuse, or material operational issues identified during the response process.
• Communicate professionally with internal stakeholders and, when authorized, external requestors to clarify information needs, resolve questions, confirm response requirements, and manage submission logistics and deadlines.
• Maintain a secure, organized repository of request-related materials, correspondence, workpapers, source data, final response packages, and submission records in accordance with records retention, privacy, security, and document control requirements.
• Use Microsoft Excel and other reporting or data tools to analyze large datasets, identify trends or anomalies, reconcile information across systems, and develop clear supporting schedules for regulatory and audit responses.
• Support follow-up requests, supplemental documentation, interviews, and additional questions that arise after an initial submission, maintaining version control and a complete record of communications and deliverables.
• Identify opportunities to improve the organization's processes for responding to government investigations, regulatory audits, client audits, and information requests, including standardization, tracking, reporting, documentation, and turnaround time.
• Maintain current knowledge of applicable healthcare, Medicaid, privacy, records management, audit, and regulatory requirements relevant to the organization's Mobility and Personal Care Services businesses.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
