It looks like healthcare providers can count on the RAC medical record request limitations announced October 30—at least for now.
CMS reserves the right to review the request limits, but currently has no plan or set timeline as to when an adjustment may occur, CMS representative Lt. Terrence Lew, said during the November 13 RAC Open Door Forum.
“We could conceivably adjust the limits annually. But beyond that, we haven’t really set a schedule for adjusting them,” Lew said.
Lew also confirmed that CMS has spoken to the American Hospital Association as well as the American Medical Association regarding the medical record request limit.
