19 SEPT. 2011 - The CMS has issued CR 7436, which shifts the responsibility for sending demand letters from the Recovery Auditors to the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) starting in January 2012. In preparation for this nationwide change, Connolly, the Recovery Auditor for Region C, and CGS, the DME MAC for Jurisdiction C, will start a pilot program in November 2011. CGS is working to educate its provider and supplier communities on this change.
10 OCT. 2008 - CMS Announces Recovery Auditors Contingency Fee Percentages. The Recovery Auditors are paid a contingency fee; that is, the Recovery Auditors receive payment based on the amount of the improper payments they correct for both overpayments and underpayments. Each Recovery Auditors' contingency fee is established during contract negotiations with CMS and, as such, the contingency fee varies for each Recovery Auditor.
