-
Mandatory provisions of the Affordable Care Act require the Alabama Medicaid Agency to select and provide oversight for a Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) to perform provider audits.
-
The RAC program is designed to improve payment accuracy by identifying under and overpayments in Medicaid. The Medicaid RAC program is a separate program from the Medicare RAC which is overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
-
Providers are reminded that the Alabama Administrative Code, the Provider Manual and their Provider Agreements require compliance with requests for medical records for Medicaid program audits.
-
Questions regarding the audits should be directed to Jamie Cousins, RAC Program Manager, at jamie.cousins@medicaid.alabama.gov or Yulonda Carter, Recipient Review Associate Director, at yulonda.carter@medicaid.alabama.gov.
