Site Helps Hospitals with Audits

In an effort to help hospitals with Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs), La Jolla, Calif.-headquartered RACMonitor.com has developed a new Internet portal. According to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (Baltimore), through a portal at www.racmonitor.com, hospitals and health systems can find the latest news and information.

CMS says a special feature of the site is the publication of a bi-weekly e-newsletter, RACMonitor.Enews. An editorial board composed of leading authorities on RAC-related issues including compliance, reimbursement, coding and documentation, will provide the content, it says.

In addition, racmonitor.com plans to offer monthly Webcasts and will create opportunities for online discussions with the community that they can field questions.
