While You Are Waiting for Reform

While we all wait for reform, we can busy ourselves with RAC audit preparation.

Revenue Audit Contractors are upon the land, working on contingency to find all of the waste and fraud in the health care system.

Since most of you have so little to do anyway, we should be thinking about how to prepare for and respond to RAC auditing.

After the New Year we will be publishing a checklist format paper on how to cope with RAC. The link will be here.

Happy New Year!

Google Your Practice Name

If you are lucky the first results will be your practice website and links to favorable news articles.

If you are not so lucky, you may hit websites where patients can complain about physicians, or maybe an employee's Facebook page.

You need to know.
