May 1 is the final day that all hospitals can submit first-quarter 2015 data to the RACTrac survey. Hospitals are asked to complete the survey even if they did not experience recovery audit contractor activity during the quarter. The free web-based survey helps AHA measure the impact of Medicare's RAC program on hospitals and advocate for needed changes. For more information on the RACTrac initiative, visit www.aha.org/RACTrac. To register for the survey or for technical assistance, contact RACTrac support at (888) 722-8712 or ractracsupport@providercs.com.
