Industry Notes:

Recovery Audit Contractor Activity Hasn't Totally Halted

Don’t be lulled into complacency by the break in Additional Development Requests (ADRs) from Recovery Audit Contractors. Feb. 28 marked the current RACs’ deadline for sending out new ADR communications, but they can continue to conduct automated reviews through June 1, and they are sure to follow through on reviews that commenced before the ADR halt.

Mark your calendar: After providers had 45 days to respond to an ADR, recovery auditors have up to 60 days to make a determination on the claim. June 1 is the last day a recovery auditor can send improper payment files to the MACs for adjustment.
