New Solution Available for Audit Assistance

Chicago-based Care Communications, Inc. has rolled out a RAC software tracking solution, Audit Manager. According to Care Communications, the tool, powered by Northbrook, Ill.-based Cobius Healthcare Solutions, has been approved by VHA for its member hospitals nationwide to help hospitals and health networks prepare for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services RAC audits.

Care Communications claims Audit Manager can help minimize RAC risks and costs by:

• Detecting error patterns to avoid repeating mistakes;
• Minimizing the need for additional staff;
• Ensuring deadlines are met by using work lists and e-mail reminders;
• Allowing authorized users to access documentation, appeals templates and other tools; and
• Providing information in real-time reports.
