The first component of the P-E-M approach for dealing with Recovery Audit Contractors is to prepare. Preparation for RACs includes conducting a baseline compliance audit to assess a hospice’s vulnerability and risk. It also includes getting ready for “RAC attacks” by making certain appropriate personnel are assigned key responsibilities essential to building a RAC infrastructure. This may already be in place for hospices that have had to deal with Additional Development Requests (ADRs) or other types of scrutiny – now it must be as fine-tuned and formalized as possible.
The articles and resources in the Prepare category of RAC Assistance for Hospice will address what hospices need to do now to prepare for the RACs.
