Preparing for the RAC: Assessing and Mitigating Financial Risk
We are all familiar with the financial success of the three-year Recovery Audit Contractor Demonstration Project, which yielded nearly a billion dollars in improper overpayments collected from providers. Providers have appealed only 19.6% of the initial RAC determinations, and of these a mere 6.8% have been overturned. But hospitals with the foresight to prepare for the permanent RAC program by learning from the demonstration projects will be on their way to reducing financial exposure to RAC record reviews and increasing the probability of overturning RAC denials, says contributor Glenn Krauss.
