MediRegs Gains AHA RACTrac Approval, Adds One Click RACTrac Submission

(RIVEWOODS, ILL., March 17, 2010) – MediRegs ComplyTrack® Audit Detail Manager (ADM) has been approved by the American Hospital Association (AHA) as a RACTrac compatible product. This means that ADM users can submit data to the AHA's RACTrac web-based data collection system, all via a single click. RACTrac allows the AHA to collect and report the impact of Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) activity on hospitals across the country. MediRegs is part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business (www.MediRegs.com).

“We are pleased that ADM has passed the approval process for AHA’s RACTrac compatibility,” said Steve Lefar, General Manager of MediRegs. “Our team took it to another level with a ‘one click to submit’ solution that executed in a demonstration with no human intervention. ADM is now being used in nearly 400 hospitals for audits including RAC, MIC, MAC, ZPIC and internal programs.”

Audit Detail Manager provides the health care community with the tools needed to manage the RAC, MICs and other audit bodies efficiently and effectively. This module in the MediRegs ComplyTrack Suite is specifically designed to handle the high-volume, time-sensitive, complex workflow needed to satisfy RAC and other record requests, process determination letters and navigate the multi-tiered rebuttal and appeal process.

About the AHA RACTrac Program

Hospitals participating in the AHA RACTrac program will provide data from their RAC audits to AHA on a quarterly basis. AHA will use the data to identify regional and national trends in claims denials and appeals. This information will also be used to educate health care providers, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Congress on the true impact of RAC audits on the health care industry and changes needed to the RAC program. The “RACTrac Compatible” designation certifies that hospitals using the ComplyTrack Audit Detail Manager can automate the process of providing their quarterly data extracts to AHA.
