The Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor program is coming to Washington in August. WSHA is working to give hospitals the information they need to prepare for this change. This section will be expanded as more information becomes available.
WSHA is conducting a brief online survey of our member hospitals to help determine how we can help you prepare for the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program. A copy of the survey is being sent to hospital CFOs, but additional responses from other staff involved in the RAC process are accepted and appreciated.
