Brief

Job Description:

The Financial Examiner V position serves an integral function within the Provider Finance Department (PFD) by performing highly complex (senior-level) financial examinations of cost reports and financial compliance reports, including performing peer reviews and quality assurance evaluations of completed financial examinations to determine financial condition, level of internal controls, and compliance with examination requirements.

The examinations are conducted to ensure the accuracy and reasonableness of cost and statistical data that is utilized to support established reimbursement rate methodologies, cost determination, and payment adequacy evaluations for certain Medicaid and non-Medicaid services. Financial examinations are performed in accordance with the Texas Administrative Code, program specific cost report instructions, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and state and federal regulations.

A financial examination includes reviewing certain Medicaid and non-Medicaid contracted providers’ submitted reports and supporting documentation, which may include the contracted providers’ trial balance, general ledger, allocation worksheets, payroll data, and other documentation. The Financial Examiner may confer with management staff to resolve problems and deviations from examination requirements, coordinate with internal colleagues or contact the contracted provider to request clarification and additional information/supporting documentation, and testify in hearings and court proceedings as an expert witness in matters involving the examination performed.

The examination process involves the following activities: planning, scheduling, coordinating, conducting, and reporting results of the examination. Work is performed with limited supervision, with considerable latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment.
