Gather cost report Info for Auditor
This position would be the first point of contact when a cost report is submitted to DCS. They will oversee the following :
During the process of making the folders they will make sure the original copy of the cost report the licenses and financial documents are attached in the Attachment Tab on iRate.Check Rate Adjustment with guidance from supervisor (in regard to which adjustment should be appropriate for that year.Research if cost report should be a Budgeted Report. (This information will be given to the Auditor on written documentation or checklist that will be created for the Auditor.)If financial information is available make sure the cost report has the correct Tier listed.Update Primary Contact Person
Once the cost report has been started by the Auditor issues have been created and the provider has responded and sent the issues back to DCS one of the Standard Questions that the provider must answer is regarding the primary contact person. This is a small task but extremely important! This information collected will determine who the Deputy Director will send the Rate Letter to in November. We must verify the name work email address and phone number so that when the letters are sent via email they are NOT undeliverable. Once this information is verified by the Auditor it needs to be logged into KidTraks.Purgatory cost reports
This process is when a vendor starts a cost report doesnt assign a program and the program becomes caught in purgatory meaning the vendor cannot go back and access the cost report. This is extremely helpful when these reports are deleted when trying to run Public Queries. At the end of the year theres anywhere between 300-600 cost reports and purgatory.Copying budgeted reportAs directed by the auditor this position will need to roll over copy prior year budgeted report to the current year report.ResearchDuring the desk audit process the auditor might have a few items the temp person could research to assist.
