MediRegs Adds ComplyRAC Audit Detail Manager to ComplyTrack Suite

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., July 1, 2008) – MediRegs, a leading provider of specialized health care compliance and reimbursement research products and workflow tools, has released ComplyRAC Audit Detail Manager (ADM), a new module in the MediRegs ComplyTrack™ suite. ComplyRAC ADM was developed in response to the growing need of health care providers to manage their responses to Medicare’s Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) national audits. MediRegs is part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business.

“ComplyRAC ADM is specifically designed to handle the high-volume, time-sensitive, complex workflow needed to satisfy RAC record requests, process determination letters and navigate the multi-tiered rebuttal and appeal process,” said Maria Bounos, ComplyRAC product manager.

ComplyRAC’s robust report writer, together with its sophisticated SQL database gives the provider community the necessary tools to manage the RAC process efficiently and effectively. ComplyRAC offers tools to detect, analyze, report and predict trends. ComplyRAC maintains audit trails for all correspondences, detailing claim-level tracking from initial request through the multiple levels of appeal. It delivers standard and customized reports at every level throughout the entire process. ComplyRAC enables RAC response teams to focus their efforts on the RAC process, eliminates redundant manual processes and documents, qualitatively and quantitatively, the RAC impact to facility management and board members alike.

MediRegs has partnered with Strategic Management, a leader in the health care industry providing regulatory and corporate compliance risk management services with a focus on ethics and corporate integrity, to assist with facilities’ RAC Preparedness Programs.

“Hospitals should start preparing now to manage the RACs, including the development of internal procedures for handling RAC correspondence and determining who will be responsible for managing such activities. This preparation process will take several months, so the time to begin is today,” said David Butler, President of Strategic Management.
