Agencies in recovery auditor (RAC) Region B have reported receiving documentation requests from Region C RAC Connolly. The auditor has since clarified in an email to the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) that agencies won't need to respond to these erroneous requests.
 
"Please let your members know that this happened inadvertently and that a response to Connolly ADRs is not required for Region B providers. Connolly also issued rescission letters to affected providers," the auditor told NAHC.
 
Tip: Before you respond to a record request, make sure you know who's sending it and why. For a list of contractor jurisdictions, go to http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Monitoring-Programs/provider-compliance-interactive-map/index.html.
