Description
Editor's note: This is part one of a two-part series. This month's discussion focuses on how to keep good records to avoid a RAC audit. If you are notified of a RAC audit, next month's article will focus on how to get through it. The discussion about the Recovery Audit Contractor Program (RAC) is very active in the post-acute care world. The program was designed to control the loss of millions of dollars in improper payments to providers with a focus on coding errors and documentation quality. Most operational professionals have seen the figures from the demonstration project report and the maps showing the rollout strategy by state, by date, and by the contractors. Curbing improper payments under the Medicare program is appropriate. The second part of the RAC process involves the return of funds for overpaid claims.
