There are two important RAC calls that are coming up. The first listed one is especially important -- there has been a lot of confusion and misinformation about recoupments and interest. We have studied it thoroughly and have gone to high levels of CMS to get some answers regarding some ambiguities. This call may help with further clarification.
From the RAC website:
04/23/10: CMS Announces a National Call on Section 935 Limitation on Recoupment. The call details are as follows: May 26, 2010 1:30pm - 3:30pm EST: Nationwide Section 935 Limitation on Recoupment Call for all Providers, 1-800-603-1774, meeting ID: 70868130. *This is not a RAC specific call.
04/06/10: CMS Announces Series of Nationwide RAC 101 Calls. The subject matter of the RAC conference calls will be RAC 101. They will be presented by CMS staff. The content on each call will not change drastically. The RAC operational process will be discussed and there will be a question and answer session held at the end. The information presented will not be drastically different from other RAC 101 sessions that were held in the past in conjunction with the hospital and/or medical associations. These calls offer another opportunity for providers who missed the earlier presentations to hear the RAC 101 session and to ask any questions they may have regarding the RAC process. Registration is not required for the calls.
