The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has  the statements of work for its new Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors, a map depicting the new RAC regions and contact information for each RAC. CMS in October  five new Medicare RAC contracts. Three contractors will perform post-payment review of Part A and B Medicare fee-for-service claims for all provider types other than home health/hospice and Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies: Performant Recovery Inc. in Region 1, Cotivit LLC in Regions 2 and 3, and HMS Federal Solutions in Region 4. In addition, Performant Recovery will perform post-payment review of home Health/Hospice and DMEPOS claims nationally. CMS said the original Medicare FFS RACs will be under contract with the agency until 2018 for administrative purposes, and providers may still receive correspondence related to claims adjusted under the original RAC contracts. AHA will share more information about the RAC transition as it becomes available.
