RAC Audits: Are You Ready?

The Idaho Medical Association recently offered two educational opportunities on The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC) program. We were very fortunate to have Commander Kathleen Wallace from CMS and Dr. Berman from the RAC in Idaho as speakers. Attendance was excellent and the information very helpful as CMS implements this new program.

IMA has received several calls from those who were unable to participate in the seminars, but would like to receive the information. The teleconference presented on September 16 was recorded and is available on audio CD along with copies of the speakers’ Power Point presentations.

More information and order forms are available here.
