RAC CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
Overview

The National RAC and MAC Summit series offers a RAC Certificate Program in the form of an optional course within the conference for attendees wishing to take a deeper dive into the conference subject matter. In 2016 we are pleased to offer a special Certificate Program in connection with the July 20-22 Physician Advisor - UR Boot Camp in San Antonio, produced in conjunction with AR Systems, Inc.

The RAC Summit Certificate Program Curriculum and Requirements are as Follows:

  • Complete preconference readings (as needed, up to 4 hours). Click here to access the page.
  • Attend the preconference (4 hours).
  • Attend the entire Boot Camp (12.0 hours).
  • Successfully complete the post-conference online examination (1 hour).

Who Should Attend?

The material is focused on hospital issues. Hospital Physician Advisors, RAC liaisons, other clinicians, members of the UR team, compliance officers, CFOs, medical coding and billing staff, patient accounts managers, and other financial and auditing personnel are prime candidates for the certificate programs. Group discounts encourage participation by an entire RAC team.

Learning Objectives

The purpose of the RAC Certificate Programs is primarily to give participants the understanding and tools necessary to create successful internal processes so that patient status and documentation are correct and denials are prevented proactively. By the end of this training, participants will be able to create an action plan that will outline key initiatives to be taken with respect to their own organizations.

Program Description

This is a practical, in-depth program for professionals that is geared to broad policy and operational issues in recovery audits by Medicare, State Medicaid RACs, and commercial insurers, especially Medicare Advantage plans. Participants have 90 days to complete the online examination and earn a certificate of completion.

Program Completion

Those who successfully complete the program requirements (see the four bulleted requirements above), including preconference readings and an online post conference test with a score of seventy percent (70%) or more, will receive a certificate of completion of the RAC Certificate Program.
