Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) typically hold claims for a brief period each quarter when they implement system releases. This January, home health Requests for Anticipated Payment (RAPs) are affected by implementation of the Home Health Patient-Driven Groupings Model. MACs will hold RAPs with From Dates on or after January 1, 2020, and process them once the updates are complete.
