Recent News: IatriTRAC receives AHA's RACTrac Certification

BOSTON, MA, April 14, 2010 -- Iatric Systems, a leading provider of healthcare software and interface services, today announced that its IatriTRAC auditing software solution has achieved RACTrac Compatibility certification by the American Hospital Association (AHA). The certification was awarded after a comprehensive Vendor Test and Validation Process through the AHA’s Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Program.

“Iatric Systems is very pleased that our IatriTRAC software solution has been recognized by the AHA as RACTrac Compatible,” said Frank Fortner, senior vice president of application software for Iatric Systems. “IatriTRAC provides MEDITECH hospitals complete management of both “auto” and “complex” RAC audits in real-time, all from the convenience of their HIS. It also features visual indicators to help meet important deadlines as well as the export of CSV files to produce customized management reports.”

The RAC Program was instituted as part of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, authorizing a RAC demonstration program to identify erroneous Medicare payments (including underpayments and overpayments) to health care providers. The three year program revealed more than $1 billion in improper Medicare payments in California, New York and Florida, leading the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to expand the program to all 50 states by 2010.
