As noted across the blogosphere the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors are aiming their guns at health care providers after a 4-month hiatus.
Their primary target is inpatient hospitals.
That's where the money is.
Witch Hunt?
The federal government sees health care providers as a revenue source.
RACs bid for the right to audit and collect overpayments from providers. The RACs then keep a portion of those overpayments.
Some say the rewards to the RACs could lead to over-aggressive collection efforts.
Do you think RACS are unfairly incentivized to target and collect overpayments?
Do you think physical therapists in private practice need to worry?
