Independent Validation Auditor
ATTAC provides IVA services to Medicare Advantage (MA) and Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) required by CMS to hire a third-party auditor to test outcomes of their corrective actions following a CMS Program Audit, or if placed in Intermediate Sanction.
We are recognized as a national leader in performing Medicare compliance and CMS Program Audits. Our IVA teams include Medicare Part C and Part D subject-matter experts who have audited Medicare compliance for years. Our audit systems and tools specifically address testing of correction of deficiencies identified by CMS.
We work closely with the plan to develop our audit work plan. The work plan covers required universes, sample sizes, audit period, and sample selection methods that target testing the corrective action outcomes required to be audited and reviewed with CMS prior to the audit.
ATTAC thoroughly tests the plan’s required universes, using our sophisticated CMS universe analytics engine.
We conduct the audit after the plan’s revised operations are in place and it is operationally “clean,” and focus on audit completion on a timely basis to meet the CMS’ required deadline to have Independent Auditor Validation completed with findings submitted to the agency.
Look to an experienced validation audit leader to conduct your IVA.
