DMEPOS RAC to Look at Potential Underpayments for Group 3 Wheelchair Options & Accessories

The industry is pleased to see that Performant Recovery, the DMEPOS RAC, has been approved to add an audit that will look at the underpayment of Group 3 power wheelchair options.  All wheelchair accessories (including seating systems) and seat and back cushions furnished in connection with Group 3 complex rehabilitative power wheelchairs will be reviewed regardless of modifiers.  This issue recovers the incorrect reductions owed to suppliers for claims for these items for DOS 1/1/2016 - 6/30/2016.

This is a very positive development as it is the first time an underpayment for our industry has been audited!
