Aren’t RAC’s focusing on hospital claims?

Initially, during the RAC demonstration project, the RAC’s focused on hospital-based services. This did not limit their review and recovery to services billed by the hospitals but rather included services billed by physicians at these facilities. Under the permanent RAC program, the focus is not limited to hospital claims. Claims from physicians, practitioners, or any other provider of service billing to Medicare Part A or Part B may be included in claims reviewed by the RAC.
