Many organizations struggle with performing an annual compliance risk assessment. One idea is to think about and incorporate your recovery audit contractor (RAC) and other government audits as an ongoing compliance risk assessment process. Keep track of the areas that are causing denials and the error rates, not just for Medicare and Medicaid fee-for-service, but maybe also Medicare Advantage.
