Colleagues,
I am drafting a petition to reform the unconscionable means
of denying medical claims during a CMS audit. I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding the following two
questions: (1) Would you be willing to sign the petition; and (2) what affects
do you foresee being felt by our profession if RAC audits are conducted on a
pre-authorization basis? Meaning, the
rules, implementation and execution of RAC audits will remain exactly the same;
except, they will be performed prior to services being provided. It is blatantly obvious that CMS audits are
not going away, in fact, they are rapidly progressing. So, it is unreasonable and unrealisitc
to ask the federal government to eliminate the newly aggressive audit system
all together. However, if the system
stays the same with a minor change of timing of these audits, it may produce
quicker results. If you have any
questions or comments, you can also contact me through my RAC website at: <URL Redacted>
Any feedback is appreciated.
