ANSWER-Facilities have a baseline annual ADR, and, after three consecutive 45 day
ADR cycles, the facility receives an adjusted ADR based on the denial rate for the next
three consecutive 45 day ADR cycles.
Summary of RAC Medical Record Limits:• Institutional Providers (Facilities)o The
baseline annual ADR Limit is one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the provider's total
number of paid Medicare claims from a previous 12-month period. o After three (3) 45-
day ADR cycles, CMS will calculate (or recalculate) a provider's Denial Rate, which
reflects their compliance with Medicare rules. The Denial Rate will be calculated using
the number of claims containing improper payments that resulted in overpayments (less
any determinations that are fully overturned during appeal) divided by the total number
of reviewed claims, expressed as a percentage, on a cumulative basis. The Denial Rate
will then be used to identify a provider's corresponding "Adjusted" ADR Limit. The
Adjusted ADR Limit will be used for the next three (3) 45-day ADR cycles.• Physicians
(including podiatrists, chiropractors)o Less than 5 providers: 10 medical records per 45
days per NPIo 6-24 providers: 25 medical records per 45 days per NPIo 25-49
providers: 40 medical records per 45 days per NPI• 50 or more providers: 50 medical
