The Recovery Audit Contractors program is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to identify improper payments made on claims of health care services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Improper payments may be overpayments or underpayments. Overpayments can occur when health care providers submit claims that do not meet Medicare’s coding or medical necessity policies. Underpayments can occur when health care providers submit claims for a simple procedure but the medical record reveals that a more complicated procedure was actually performed.
Health care providers that might be reviewed include hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes, home health agencies, durable medical equipment suppliers and any other provider or supplier that bills Medicare Parts A and B.
Shortly after CMS conducts this educational session for physicians and their staff, HealthDataInsights, Inc. will start auditing claims. You do not want to miss this opportunity to learn more about the RAC program and how you can prepare for when the RACs come to your office.
For more information on the RAC program, visit www.cms.hhs.gov/rac or contact Reina O'beck at reina@theOMA.org or (503) 619-8000.
