Session 4 of the Series: Surviving a RAC Attack: Strategies to Reduce Financial Risk

Description:
Sometimes, even with the best of preparation, things don’t work out right. Once a RAC determines overpayment has occurred, the agency must either defend its actions or pay. There is too much on the line for an agency just to accept the findings. That’s where the appeals process comes into play.

This session will reveal:

• The penalties and punishments that RACs and fraud investigators can impose on agencies
• An agency’s rights
• The steps in the appeals process—how it works, tips to consider, and the results
• An action plan for dealing with RACs in the future
