One of the newest challenges looming on the horizon for hospice programs is dealing with yet another level of scrutiny from Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs).  CMS has contracted with four RACs to conduct post-payment audits of hospice claims to identify and recoup improper payments.

Weatherbee has developed the P-E-M approach to assisting hospices with RAC scrutiny: Prepare, Educate and Manage.  We can help you prepare for the inevitable RAC audits your organization is likely to encounter with state-of-the-art assessment strategies designed to determine risk areas and vulnerabilities.  We offer intensive and innovative educational programs for all levels of hospice staff on the RAC process, hospice RAC risk areas and proper documentation.  And finally, we can help your hospice develop an efficient and cost-effective strategy for managing RAC scrutiny from the moment a demand letter is received through all levels of the Medicare appeals process as needed.
