Dear Listserv members,
Last month, we posted a survey asking facilities when they were audited in
order to investigate the effects of RAC audits on the O&P profession. Below
you will find the results from the 64 responses we received. We find it
curious that some facilities’ most recent audits will occur in the future.
*Region A (15 responses)*
Earliest first audit: Oct 2011
Average first audit: Sept 2012
Average recent audit: Nov 2013
Most recent audit: *Jan 2015*
*Region B (10 responses)*
Earliest first audit: Apr 2011
Average first audit: Aug 2012
Average recent audit: Jan 14
Most recent audit: *Mar 2014*
*Region C (18 responses)*
Earliest first audit: Apr 2009
Average first audit: Apr 2012
Average recent audit: Sept 2013
Most recent audit: *June 2014*
*Region D (21 responses)*
Earliest first audit: May 2008
Average first audit: Jan 2012

We thank those who took the time to consider completing our survey and
offered to help with our research.
Kindest regards,
