These are known, interestingly, as RAC’s (Recovery Audit Contractors). They are paid a percentage of everything they collect. Medicare charges are almost all based on codes (ICD’s and CPT’s), and there are lots of gray areas. Hmmmmm. Which way do you think the RAC’s decide most of these cases? Fighting these audits has become a big business for health care law and consulting firms. So who says the government can’t create jobs?
