Special Open Door Forum:
Part B Providers, Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC)
April 14, 2009
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST
(Conference Call Only)
CMS is hosting this Special Open Door Forum for Part B provider recovery audit contractors (RACs) on April 14, 2009. The purpose of this forum is to introduce providers to the new contractors and provide more information about the RAC program.
Section 302 of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 makes the RAC Program permanent and requires the Secretary to expand the program to all 50 states by no later than 2010. On October 6, 2008, CMS announced awards for the four permanent RACs. Each RAC will be responsible for identifying overpayment and underpayments in approximately ¼ of the country. CMS has planned a gradual expansion to all 50 states. For further details, visit the website athttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/RAC .
We look forward to your participation.
