Which statement about the RAC Data Warehouse is correct?

• A. Measures the performance of the RACs and CMS reports types of claims reviewed and trends in corrected claims
• B. Stores hospital patient records
• C. Maintains provider tax IDs
• D. Calculates patient co-pays

Answer: (A)

RAC Data Warehouse is an analytics hub used to monitor and report on Recovery Audit Contractor activities and outcomes for the Medicare RAC program. It collects data on claims reviewed, the types of claims examined, and the results, including trends in corrections, so CMS and RACs can assess performance and generate performance reports. This focus on measuring how RACs perform and what CMS reports about the claims reviewed and the corrections observed is why this statement fits best. Storing hospital patient records belongs to electronic health record systems, maintaining provider tax IDs relates to provider enrollment data, and calculating patient co-pays is a function of billing or patient accounting systems—not the RAC Data Warehouse.
