Sorry. But I thought RAC was a group of individuals who go over your billing looking for over payments to Medicare They typically get a % of what they find so it motivates them. If u have this group of auditors in your area and they Are saying this then I would just ask them to show you the rule they must be referring to a CLIA guideline somewhere. Best of luck Kim D
