RAC permanent program on standby
Healthcare Auditing Weekly, November 11, 2008
CMS said on its Web site, "this action is the result of protests filed by two unsuccessful bidders for the RAC program with the Government Accountability Office (GAO)."
According to a California Hospital Association (CHA) memorandum, PRG Schultz (PRG), a contractor that submitted a bid for work in the permanent program but wasn’t selected as one of the four permanent contractors, was considering a challenge to the contract award process.
The halt comes just weeks after CMS announced the new RACs for its permanent nationwide program, as well as how much money RACs will make from provider overpayments.
