Audit for School-Based Services
Myers and Stauffer provides independent, government-focused support for auditing school-based Medicaid programs to ensure compliance, payment accuracy, and program integrity. With expertise in cost reporting, documentation validation, and audit readiness, we help state education agencies secure federal funding and deliver transparent, defensible audit outcomes.
Supporting Compliance, Payment Accuracy, & Defensible Audit Outcomes
School-based Medicaid programs are subject to intensive audit requirements tied to cost reporting, service documentation, and federal claiming rules. Ensuring that services are properly documented, costs are accurately reported, and claims are compliant with federal and state requirements is essential to maintaining program integrity and securing federal funding.
We support state education agencies and other public-sector entities in conducting and overseeing audits of school-based Medicaid programs. Our work is performed exclusively on behalf of government agencies, providing independent, objective assurance across financial, compliance, and operational components of school-based services.

School-based Medicaid reimbursement often relies on cost-based methodologies that require accurate and supportable cost reporting.
We conduct detailed reviews of cost reports, supporting documentation, and allocation methodologies, helping ensure reported costs are compliant, properly supported, and aligned with federal requirements.
Services billed through school-based Medicaid programs must be supported by appropriate documentation and delivered in accordance with program requirements.
We evaluate service records, provider qualifications, and supporting documentation to confirm that services are eligible, properly documented, and compliant with applicable rules.
Accurate claiming is critical to ensuring appropriate federal reimbursement and avoiding disallowances.
We review claims and payment methodologies to validate that services were billed correctly, reimbursement calculations are accurate, and payments align with program requirements.
School-based programs must be prepared for federal and state audit activity, including reviews of cost reports, claims, and documentation.
We support agencies and school districts in strengthening audit readiness through independent reviews, documentation assessment, and identification of compliance risks, helping ensure defensible audit outcomes.
