The Texas State Auditor’s Office has released their audit report, An Audit Report on Medicaid Managed Care Contract Processes at the Health and Human Services Commission.
 
The audit found that:
 

  • The Commission lacks a documented audit selection process, and there are gaps in the Commission’s performance audit coverage.
  • The Commission did not sufficiently follow up on issues identified from performance audits and AUP engagements.
  • The Commission did not ensure that procedures for identifying issues at MCOs were consistent between the two contracted audit firms.
  • The Commission’s Medicaid CHIP division and the Office of Inspector General did not coordinate audit coverage to minimize duplication of effort.
  • The Commission did not collect all costs for audit-related services.
  • The Commission generally collected rebates from MCOs as required.
  • The Commission should use information from its External Quality Review Organization to strengthen its monitoring of MCOs’ performance.
  • The Commission should strengthen controls over certain information technology systems.
