The Fourth Medicare RAC Summit
September 13, 2010 - September 14, 2010
Arlington, VA

The Fourth Medicare RAC Summit will be held on September 13-14, 2010 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA as a much larger program integrity agenda is now in play. With the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), there is a renewed sense of vigor and urgency to the process or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.  RAC has been expanded from Parts A and B to Part C and Part D as well. A new program of contingency auditing in the Medicaid program will be established. And a recent CMS realignment created a new position of Deputy Administrator for Program Integrity, overseeing both the Medicare Integrity Program and Medicaid Integrity Program. The Summit is pleased to have that new Deputy Administrator, Dr. Peter Budetti, open the main Summit with a keynote address, followed by Kathleen King from GAO, Don May from AHA, and James Sheehan, New York State Medicaid Inspector General.

 

The Summit continues to offer an online participation option, a very practical and more advanced preconference RAC "Boot Camp" for those newer to the program or wishing to refresh their knowledge, and the Medicare RAC Certificate Program for those who want to take a deeper dive into the subject matter. The agenda is crafted to maximize networking and speaker interaction, provide "how to" advice on organizing and managing a revenue integrity program, and cover both technical and tactical issues. In a new era of aggressive program integrity activity, it is a "must" event.  Conference details are on the web site at www.RACsummit.com.
