AHA RACTrac Initiative
The American Hospital Association’s (AHA) RACTrac survey collects data from hospitals on a quarterly basis to assess the impact the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program on hospitals nationwide. AHA developed RACTrac in response to the lack of data and information provided by CMS on the impact of the RAC program on providers.
RAC Trac findings reveal many valuable insights for both the hospitals that reported the data and the AHA and state hospital associations who can use the information to educate the field and inform CMS and Congress of changes needed to the program.
