Summary of Objective, Scope, and Methodology
The audit objective was to determine the methodologies the Medical Branch and
Health Sciences Center use to allocate the overhead costs associated with
providing inmate health care.
The audit focused on the institutions' methodologies surrounding the compilation
of costs incurred in providing services under their contracts with the Correctional
Managed Health Care Committee. These contracts are managed by the
Correctional Managed Care Department at the Medical Branch and by the
Correctional Managed Health Care Department at the Health Sciences Center. We
audited methodologies for costs the institutions reported they incurred from
September 2004 through February 2006.
The audit methodology included interviewing staff at the Department of Criminal
Justice, the Correctional Managed Health Care Committee, the Medical Branch,
and the Health Sciences Center; reviewing documentation for financial amounts
institutions reported to the Correctional Managed Care Committee; and analyzing
payroll records and patient billing data to determine compliance with the
institutions' policies and procedures.iii
