RAC audits back in place with CMS announcement

CMS recently announced all Recovery Audit Contractors may continue their active recovery auditing activities, including sending additional documentation requests. The announcement became effective as of Nov. 13, 2015.

According to a CMS update, the announcement marks the end of a “pause in operations” that has been in place for Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) since Feb. 18, 2014.

CMS announced on Nov. 6 that it was pursuing contract modifications to the current RAC contracts to allow each of the four existing RACs to continue their auditing activities through July 31, 2016.
