Seven tips for RAC Region D providers
Recovery Auditor Report, September 2, 2010
Let's face it; RACs are an albatross around the neck of susceptible providers. But for the diligent hospitals that have anticipated RACs since the demonstration project, their situation is far less dire.
A recent update to the evaluation of the RAC demonstration shows that HealthDataInsights (HDI), the RAC for Region D, had the highest percentage of claims overturned on appeal, which shows that, like providers, HDI is not perfect.
With this in mind, consider the following tips to help develop a conscientious approach from start to finish, which can augment providers’ chances of success throughout the RAC process.
