| 2012-4364 | Medicaid Program; Announcement of Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) Contingency Fee Update | Notice | This notice announces an increase to the maximum contingency fee, for which Federal financial participation (FFP) will be available, that may be paid to Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC) by State Medicaid programs as authorized by section 1902(a)(42)(B) of the Social Security Act (the Act), as amended by the Affordable Care Act, requiring States to establish Medicaid RAC programs. In the September 16, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 57808), we published a final rule that ties the Medicaid RAC contingency fee to the Medicare Recovery Audit Program with an opportunity for the States to request an exception to exceed the highest fee paid to a Medicare Recovery Auditor. Further, we indicated in the final rule that we would make States aware of any modifications to the payment methodology for contingency fee rates and Medicaid RAC maximum contingency fee rates by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. Therefore, this notice will inform States that Medicare has increased the maximum contingency fee paid to Recovery Auditors by 5 percent for the recovery of overpayments only for durable medical equipment claims (DME). | 2012-02-24 | 2012 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/02/24/2012-4364/medicaid-program-announcement-of-medicaid-recovery-audit-contractors-racs-contingency-fee-update | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-02-24/pdf/2012-4364.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This notice announces an increase to the maximum contingency fee, for which Federal financial participation (FFP) will be available, that may be paid to Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC) by State Medicaid programs as authorized by section... |
