The financial pressure on hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers, as a result of increased scrutiny of claims and audit activity by third party payors, will not end soon. To the contrary, as part of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, Congress directed that the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) demonstration program expand to all 50 states by no later than 2010. CMS plans to aggressively move forward with this expansion. CMS has already announced the expansion of its program from three states to an additional nine states, with intentions for nationwide RAC auditing to take place by spring 2008, three-years ahead of schedule. Providers are well advised to prepare now for the expansion of the RACs and increasing Medicare audit activity.
