Medicare RAC Program

The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 required the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to implement a Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor demonstration to identify/correct improper payments caused by coding errors and lack of medical necessity. The Tax Relief Act and Healthcare Act of 2006 required nationwide implementation of the RAC program by 2010. Texas implementation began in summer 2009, with Connolly Consulting the contractor for Texas.
