Audits of Medicaid-contracted nursing facilities are conducted approximately once every four years. These audits examine resident trust accounts. If you have any questions about audits, please contact the trust audit team at Marylou.LaLonde@dshs.wa.gov or Carrie.Brubach@dshs.wa.gov, or Tiffany Hills, Nursing Facility Rates Manager, at (360) 995-2809 or Tiffany.Hills@dshs.wa.gov.
