Why This Matters

Your audit operations are costing more than they should.

Every manual evidence request, every spreadsheet-tracked finding, and every disconnected corrective action is money spent on process instead of outcomes. For growing health plans, audit costs scale with program complexity.
Weeks

chasing evidence

Manual evidence gathering burns FTE hours

Audit evidence is scattered across teams, email inboxes, shared drives, and legacy systems. Staff spend weeks chasing documents that should be automated.

6-8

weeks per cycle

Audit prep consumes entire teams

Manual coordination of universes, evidence collection, sampling and corrective actions drains resources for weeks every audit cycle.

Siloed

audit systems

Fragmented tools multiply rework

Siloed audit systems. Audit findings, evidence, and CAPs live across disconnected tools with limited cross-view. Teams duplicate collection effort and corrective actions disconnect from the findings that triggered them.

No

real-time view

Leadership lacks audit visibility

No consolidated view of audit status, evidence readiness, or risk exposure. Decisions rely on stale snapshots and manual status reports.

What Leaders Say

Trusted by compliance and audit leaders at health plans.

“We used to spend 6 weeks every cycle just gathering evidence and chasing functional owners. With Inovaare, evidence is centralized and auto-ingested. Prep now takes about a week.”
VP, Internal Audit
Medicare Advantage Health Plan
"The AI sampling agent replaced our manual selection process entirely. Our sampling is now risk-weighted, defensible, and takes minutes instead of days. CMS auditors were impressed."
Director of Audit
Regional Medicaid Plan
"Linking audit findings directly to CAPs was the breakthrough. We went from repeat findings every cycle to demonstrating a closed-loop remediation process. CMS recognized the improvement in our audit defensibility."
Chief Compliance Officer

How It Works

From planning to closure, every step is governed and traceable.

Evidence collection, sampling, findings, and corrective actions flow through a single governed workflow. No spreadsheets. No manual chasing.
1

Launch & Plan

Set up a new audit with scope, owners, deadlines, and CMS-program templates pre-configured. Prior cycles link in automatically, giving you version-controlled institutional memory from day one.

2

Document Collection

Evidence requests route to functional owners with deadlines, role-based access, and escalation paths built in. Every request and response logs to the audit, removing the back-and-forth that consumes weeks of each cycle.

3

Submission & Validation

Every submission is validated against documented standards before acceptance, and rejected items return with traceable comments. The outcome is a defensible evidence chain that meets CMS and OIG documentation expectations.

4

Insights & Sampling

Risk-weighted sampling runs against configurable criteria, with methodology logged for regulatory review. Auditors retain oversight to add or refine samples, keeping the selection defensible to CMS without the manual selection burden.

5

Findings & Reports

Preliminary findings are drafted with citations to the underlying evidence, ready for auditor review before issue. Each accepted finding spawns a linked Corrective Action Plan automatically, closing the loop between identification and remediation.

6

Closure & Communication

Audit closes with a complete chain of custody. Every action timestamps against its originating finding, and cross-cycle dashboards surface where governance is strengthening or where repeat-finding patterns warrant attention.

Why Inovaare

Your audit system should know what CMS expects.

Many  plans are re-evaluating how audit workflows are tooled. Evidence often lives across spreadsheets, shared drives, and email; sampling is largely manual; and corrective actions sit outside the audit findings that prompted them. Each cycle restarts from scratch because nothing is linked.

Connected Platform

Modules that extend audit management across your enterprise.

Each module is optional and priced separately. Layer them onto core Audit Management as your program grows.

CAP Management

Central hub for corrective actions from audits, incidents, KPIs, delegation reviews, and compliance gaps. AI summarizes CAPs, recommends closure steps, and flags recurring patterns. Reduces CAP closure from 90+ days to ~30 days, saving 2–3 FTEs (~$200K–$300K annually) with 80–90% fewer repeat deficiencies.

Incident Management

Centralized intake with AI auto-classification across compliance, operations, IT, vendor, and member categories. Configurable workflows by incident type, automated triage, SLA monitoring, and incidents feed directly into audit findings. Reduces manual compliance hours by 40–60%.

Universe Management

Auto-generates CMS-ready universes (ODAG, CDAG, SNP-MOC, FDR) from live operational data. Applies CMS layout, logic, and validation rules, flags defects with correction guidance, and exports submission-ready files. Reduces universe prep from weeks to hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about
Inovaare Audit Management.

What types of audits does the system support?

Inovaare Audit Management supports both internal and external audits across all lines of business. This includes CMS program audits (ODAG, CDAG), OIG audits, state Medicaid audits, mock audits, internal compliance reviews, and delegation oversight audits. Each audit type follows configurable workflows with templates, evidence requirements, and compliance rules specific to the audit program and regulatory body.

How does the system reduce audit prep time from 6–8 weeks to 1 week?

The system eliminates manual audit preparation through four key automations: configurable templates standardize planning so teams start from structured frameworks rather than blank spreadsheets; automated evidence collection pulls documents directly from integrated claims, appeals, and provider systems; AI-driven sampling selects risk-weighted samples without manual selection or bias; and automated report generation drafts findings reports in minutes rather than days. Together, these automations compress the 6–8 week prep cycle into approximately one week.

How does AI-driven sampling work in audit management?

The Sampling Agent uses risk-weighted algorithms to automatically select audit samples based on configurable risk criteria, case attributes, and historical patterns. The selection is bias-free and defensible for regulatory review. Auditors retain full control — they can review, adjust, or manually add samples. The system integrates with the Universe Scrubber to ensure sampling accuracy before submission. This replaces manual sample selection which is time-consuming and prone to selection bias.

How are audit findings linked to corrective actions?

When an auditor identifies a finding, the system automatically creates a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) in the integrated CAP module. Each CAP is linked to the originating audit finding with full traceability — including audit ID, finding category, severity, and remediation timeline. CAP owners are auto-assigned, deadlines set based on severity, and escalation workflows trigger automatically for overdue items. This closed-loop integration ensures no finding falls through the cracks.

Can we start with just internal audit and expand later?

Yes. Inovaare’s modular architecture lets you deploy internal audit capabilities first and add external audit, CAP management, delegation oversight, or other modules as your program grows. Many health plans start with core audit management and expand to connected modules over time. Modular licensing means you pay only for what you use.

How long does audit management implementation take?

Most health plans are live within 8–12 weeks depending on the number of audit programs, integrations, and workflow configurations. The platform is low-code/no-code, so compliance and audit teams can configure templates, workflows, and reporting without IT dependency. Inovaare provides implementation support including audit workflow configuration, system integrations, data migration, and user training.

Does the system integrate with existing claims and compliance systems?

Yes. The audit management system connects to standard health plan data sources including claims systems, appeals platforms, grievance tracking, provider files, and delegation management systems via APIs. Evidence is auto-ingested from these integrated systems, eliminating manual document gathering. The platform also integrates natively with Inovaare’s CAP, Incident Management, Delegation Oversight, and Regulatory Library modules.

How is Inovaare Audit Management priced?

Inovaare uses enterprise licensing with modular pricing — you pay only for the modules you deploy. Audit Management can be purchased standalone or bundled with connected modules like CAP Management, Incident Management, or Delegation Oversight. Pricing is based on organization size and module selection. There are no per-user seat fees for standard audit workflows. Contact our team for a custom quote tailored to your health plan’s audit program scope.
