Title: ●Use of Recovery Audit Contractors (CMS-6034-P) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would provide guidance to States related to Federal/State funding of State start-up, operation and maintenance costs of Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractors (Medicaid RACs), and the payment methodology for State payments to Medicaid RACs in accordance with section 6411 of the Affordable Care Act. In addition, this rule proposes requirements for States to assure that adequate appeals processes are in place for providers to dispute adverse determinations made by Medicaid RACs. Finally, the rule proposes that States and Medicaid RACs coordinate efforts with existing contractors and entities auditing Medicaid providers and with State and Federal law enforcement agencies.
