ASK OUR ADVISORS: Who should be on your organization’s RAC task force?

By The RAC Report

RAC team members should not be limited to one specific area, says William Malm, ND, RN, president of Health Revenue Integrity Services, Inc.

“Team members should represent all facets of the revenue cycle,” he says.

Specifically, he says, team members should include:

• Patient access representatives
• Chargemaster coordinators/analysts
• Physician advisors
• Revenue integrity auditors
• Denial management personnel
• Clinical staff
• Compliance staff
• Inpatient and outpatient coding staff
• Case management staff
• Utilization review staff
• Patient financial services/billing staff
