The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 requires CMS
to establish a permanent and national RAC program. It
is anticipated that this program will be implemented in
TN in the fall of 2009! RACs have been implemented
previously in other States; our faculty is uniquely
qualified to share important information about this
program. Learn from those who
experienced it firsthand.
This seminar is designed to provide
an overview of the RACs program during the morning
sessions and more detailed ‘nuts and bolts’ discussions
in the afternoon.
