Potential RAC Review of IRF Stays
On November 13, 2017, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began to post a list of potential audits for Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) to review. The topics will be listed, on a monthly basis, on the Provider Resources page of the CMS website. The topics currently proposed include: review of pre-admission screening, post-admission examination, and other requirements for inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) stays. The review type is identified as a “complex review.” Comments or questions should be submitted via email.
