                            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.
