Medicaid Provider Audits in Alaska
Oversight to ensure provider services are adequate and billing is correct
Overview
Alaska’s Medicaid providers, from large hospitals to small family-owned assisted living homes, are all asked to keep records on the services they provide for seven years. State and federal agencies oversee these records to ensure that services are adequate, records are kept correctly, billing is done correctly, and providers are not over or underpaid.
