Product Description

Are you ready for home health RAC audits? Here's how you can prepare.

Did you know that the RAC contractors get to keep a percentage of every dollar they recover for Medicare? They get their paycheck ONLY if they find coding and billing mistakes that cost Medicare money? Don't fall victim to the RACs -- you can learn from other providers to prepare yourself for the arrival of Recovery Audit Contractors. Join health law and litigation expert Robert W. Markette, Jr. for this 1-hour audio event where you will not only learn the steps you need to take when the RAC requests documentation, but also steps to take before the RAC starts asking questions. Because RACs can use data mining techniques to review claims without having to ask for any documentation. The initial results of the pilot program showed these contractors were aggressive and were able to recover large amounts of money for CMS.

Here's what you will learn:

  • What are Recovery Audit Contractors and how do they impact your CMS home health and hospice billing?
  • CMS is thrilled by RAC results – find out why (and what it means for you).
  • 1 basis for recovery that you can easily prevent.
  • What is an automated review and how does it differ from a complex review?
  • Key areas in home care you should routinely audit in anticipation of RACs
  • How Recovery Audit Contractors’ practices may indicate areas of higher risk for audits.
  • Know the steps that are involved in an appeal and why appealing may be a good idea.
