Alaska Medicaid Self-Audits
The Alaska Medicaid program requires all enrolled providers to conduct a self-audit once every two years. This requirement went into effect on June 7, 2018 (see Alaska Statute 47.05.235 and Alaska Administrative Code 7 AAC 160.115). The first self-audit cycle was due by December 31, 2020, for calendar year 2017 or 2018. The next round of self-audits covers either calendar year 2021 or 2022 that is due by December 31, 2024. When setting up your management to-do list, prepare for your self-audit.
Providers are responsible to create their audit sample, review their records, provide a report of their findings, along with an attestation and repay all identified overpayments. Sage Consulting Inc. has assisted providers with their self-audits since the implementation of the requirement.
