The RAC program: are you ready?
Providers should take these steps to prepare for an RAC review: Educate physicians and all direct care staff on the basic infrastructure for the provision of care as well as the RAC initiative itself. Create compliance assessment tools and programs and conduct internal assessment. Develop and implement a corrective action plan based on findings from internal reviews.
