CMS has awarded the contract for Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) activity for home health and hospice to Cotiviti GOV Services.
 
Cotiviti already provides RAC services across 25 states and Washington, D.C. The previous contractor for RAC services in home health and hospice was Performant.
 
According to CMS, Cotiviti will begin reviews this summer.
 
“Providers can rely on the review completion date specified in the review results letter, as well as the RAC’s name on the letter, to identify which contractor to reach for inquiries,” according to a notice from CMS. 
 
If Performant receives inquiries regarding reviews conducted by Cotiviti, Performant customer service will inform providers to reach out to Cotiviti and vice versa, CMS says.
