CMS Guidance on ACA Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Provision
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a letter to State Medicaid Directors providing preliminary guidance on section 6411 of the ACA, which requires states to contract with RACs to audit payments to Medicaid providers. CMS expects states to fully implement their RAC programs by April 1, 2011. CMS notes that it will be issuing regulations in this area shortly that will provide additional guidance.
