RAC RESULTS TO-DATE [Beta]

By Staff Reporters

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS], RACs collected about $1-B in improper payments during their recent beta testing period. Of these payments; 96% were over-payments, 4% were under-payments; and 77% of providers failed to appeal, 7% appealed successfully and 15% appealed unsuccessfully. 

Going forward there will be a three year “look-back period”, and a 10% contingency payment level for the four regional RACs currently in the program:

1. Connolly Consulting
2. PRG-Schultz
3. HealthDataInsights
4. Diversified Collections Services

By 2010, the RAC program is scheduled to launch in all 50 states. And so, please cast your vote in our exlcusive ME-P RAC program survey poll.
