CMS Letter: Concers with Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Program

Physician Payment, Coding and Billing

Joint Letter to CMS sharing ongoing concerns about the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program, which has been expanded nationwide. We strongly believe that problems with over and/or underpayments of Medicare claims would be most effectively resolved through physician outreach and education.
