Nineteen New Issues Posted on RAC Website

Any issues that are to be reviewed by Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) must be approved by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) prior to widespread review by the RAC. All approved issues are posted on a RAC website before review begins. New issues are sent to the CMS New Issues Review Board which is made up of subject mater experts. The AMCNO has been informed that 19 new issues (two automated and seventeen complex) have been approved by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and will be posted to the RACB Web site by Monday, January 18.
