I agree with Dave, it is so important for people to have access to informational sessions, and to feel as if CMS and the RACs have made the best efforts to ensure that. So far this effort has failed many constituents, and we all need to make our concerns known: to our FIs, MACs and Carriers, as well as to our professional trade associations who have access points within CMS.

I tried calling in at approximately 1:48. I was on hold for 10 minutes and then informed conference was filled. I think it is important for the providers to attend a conference before the RACS are out in the field. Need to offer more forums.

It seems that many of our readers are reporting that they experienced difficulties getting on the the April 8 RAC Open Door Forum call. Has anyone else experienced such difficulties or were you able hear the call?

It is a good idea for non-hospital providers to attend one of these formums. For example outpatient physical therapy practices should attend the Part B forum and Rehab Agencies and CORFs should attend the Part A Forum. Why? The Provider Outreach Schedule is being largely facilitated through state Hospital Associations – and if the preliminary round of info sessions last week is any indication, they are only allowing hospital represetative to attend.
