The AHA encourages all hospitals to submit data to the quarterly RACTrac survey by July 24. The free web-based survey helps AHA gauge the impact of Medicare's Recovery Audit Contractor program on hospitals and advocate for needed changes. For more information on the RACTrac initiative, including a new RACTrac claim-level tool, visit www.aha.org/ractrac. A replay of the July 8 RAC policy and data update webinar also is available for download. To register for the survey or for technical assistance, contact RACTrac support at (888) 722-8712 or ractracsupport@providercs.com.
