First Approved Issues for RAC Review in Region B Posted
Andrea Kraynak, for HealthLeaders Media, August 26, 2009
CGI provides additional information about each issue on its Web site, including claim types and codes affected, and whether it is looking for over- and/or underpayments. For these three issues, CGI is looking solely for overpayments.
Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota are the three "yellow" region B states where RAC audits were scheduled to begin first. The remaining states in the region, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio, were part of the second wave of "blue" states that were scheduled to begin after August 1.
