Industry News: RAC (Recovery Audit Contractor)

The goal of the RAC Program is to identify improper payments made on claims of health care services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The RACs review claims on a post-payment basis, and they can go back three years from the date the claim was paid.

DCS, the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) for Region A, recently posted new CMS approved audit issues for RAC review.
