RAC bid protests filed by Viant Payment Systems and PRG-Schultz were both withdrawn on Feb. 4.

The RAC by each jurisdiction is as follows:

  • Region A:  Diversified Collection Services
  • Region B:  CGI Technologies and Solutions
  • Region C:  Connolly Consulting
  • Region D:  HealthDataInsights

Under the program, the four RACs will contract with subcontractors to supplement their efforts. PRG-Schultz will serve as a subcontractor to HealthDataInsights, Diversified Collection Services and CGI Technologies and Solutions in regions A, B and D. Viant Payment Systems will serve as a subcontractor to Connolly Consulting in region C. Each subcontractor has negotiated different responsibilities in each region, including some claim review.
