The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced resolution of a dispute among the parties involved in the protest of the award of the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) contracts. A stop work order has now been lifted and CMS will move forward with implementation of the RAC program.
Under the program, the four RACs will contract with subcontractors to supplement their efforts. PRG-Schultz, Inc. will serve as a subcontractor to HDI, DCS and CGI in regions A, B and D. Viant Payment Systems, Inc. will serve as a subcontractor to Connolly Consulting in region C. Each subcontractor has negotiated different responsibilities in each region, including some claim review.
