HealthPort's RACPro now holds the distinction of being RACTrac Compatible

HealthPort^®, Inc., a top 25-company in the healthcare information technology industry, today announced its recovery audit contractor (RAC) management tool, HealthPort RACPro, now holds the distinction, through the American Hospital Association (AHA), of being RACTrac Compatible.

RACTrac compatibility gives hospitals the ability to report their RAC experience to the AHA, on a quarterly basis. This information is critical to the AHA’s efforts to improve the RAC program. “HealthPort RACPro has the tools healthcare facilities need to improve workflow, increase efficiency and minimize financial risk,” said Jonathan Arkin, Vice President of Business Development, HealthPort. “RACTrac compatibility gives RACPro an opportunity to assist with shaping the future of the RAC process.”

A unique combination of release of information, innovative RAC management technology, and available consulting services, coupled with the RACTrac Compatible designation, the new release of RACPro 2.5, enhances the RAC management process and further expands communication capabilities so that healthcare facilities can respond effectively and in a timely manner. New features include:

• Billing and Coding-Enables a side by side comparison of what was billed versus what the RAC is reporting to help facilities easily find and review discrepancies.
• Extension Requests- Allows accurate management of extension requests and associated timetables.

“The overwhelming success of our RAC management tool, RACPro has been a great accomplishment for HealthPort, but the new features and benefits of RACPro 2.5 launch us further into the industry as trailblazers of a solid, dependable, RAC solution,” said Lori Brocato, RAC and Revenue Cycle Management Product Manager, HealthPort.

Additionally, HealthPort RACPro was recently acknowledged as one of the top five RAC tracking tools in the HCPro survey of 700 hospitals, reinforcing RACPro’s strong presence as a premiere RAC solution.
