RAC Virginia Town Hall Materials

The Office of Management and Budget estimates that Medicare makes improper payments of over $10 billion per year. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has created the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program to recover these funds from providers. In a five-state pilot phase of the program, the RAC auditors recovered $992.7 million in overpayments; an average of nearly $200 million per state.

In preparation for the launch of Medicare’s Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program in Virginia, the Medical Society of Virginia and the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association scheduled four open forums with representatives from Connolly Consulting (Virginia’s RAC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  These were held on October 13th in Blackburg and on October 14th in Richmond.  Below you will find the materials and resources shared during these sessions.
