Subscribe to RSSRAC Assistance for Hospice is a service provided by Weatherbee Resources to help hospices deal with Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) scrutiny and to monitor and assess the impact of the RACs on hospices across the country.
One feature of RAC Assistance for Hospice is an e-Newsletter, published in collaboration with Tim Rowan of Home Health News, providing timely information, specific to hospices, regarding RAC activities and issues as they emerge. Since we don’t yet know how significant the impact of the RACs will be, our goal is to use this interim period of time to help hospices position themselves so they are ready for whatever scrutiny the RACs may bring.
Our strategy is simple: P-E-M (Prepare -Educate - Manage). This approach to the RACs, developed by Weatherbee Resources, will focus on the following:
- Prepare - conduct a baseline compliance audit to assess levels of risk
- Educate - learn everything possible about the RACs and what they do; intensify training to clinicians on documenting patient eligibility; and
- Manage - develop a comprehensive management response to the RACs.
Please join us by clicking here to subscribe to the RAC Assistance for Hospice e-Newsletter and participate in the RAC Forum to help us monitor RAC activity and do what we can, together, to minimize the RAC threat to the financial viability of hospices.
Please give me the details of the newsletter, i.e., cost.
Thanks
