1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose of this JOA
This Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) is designed to promote cooperation between Recovery
Audit Contractors (RACs) and the Unified Program Integrity Contractor (UPIC) by establishing
and maintaining shared expectations for the interaction among these Parties to the JOA.
1.2. Parties
Parties to the JOA are identified in Appendix Z. Please see Section 2.5 below in this JOA for
information regarding completion of this appendix.
1.3. Jurisdictions, Contacts, Roles, and Responsibilities
This information is provided in Appendices B and C. Section 2.2 below in this JOA describes the
process for completion of these appendices. Please note that there are multiple tabs in these
Microsoft (MS) Excel Workbook appendix files to facilitate use of this information.
1.4. Confidentiality
Given the nature of the work performed by the RAC and the UPIC, information contained within
this JOA is to be shared only with members of the RAC, UPIC, and CMS teams.
1.5. Liability
Although both the RAC and UPIC each individually have a contractual relationship with CMS,
there is no privity of contract between the RAC and the UPIC.
Each contractor will be indemnified and protected by limitations on liability according to the terms
of its respective contract with CMS. In light of the provisions of each contractors current contracts
with CMS and the constraints of law, no amendments to their respective contracts are made through
this JOA with respect to indemnification or limitations on liability.
1.6. Funding
Nothing in this JOA will obligate any parties to perform any tasks that add significant cost and are
outside current scope of work unless adequate funding for these tasks is received from CMS.
2. Document Maintenance
2.1. Standard Core JOA
The Standard Core JOA is established and maintained by CMS to apply standardized best practices
for the interaction between the RAC and UPIC contractors. This Standard Core JOA is purposely
designed so that it does not need to reflect contractor specific information, which is instead
contained in the JOA Appendix Documents. This JOA should not be modified from the standard
without consulting with the TO COTRs.
2.2. JOA Appendices
List of Appendices – Appendix A lists all JOA appendices, identifies the name of the team
responsible for collecting and incorporating updates, and briefly describes how each appendix is to
be created and maintained.
Distributed Update Responsibilities – Appendix documents are separated to facilitate maintenance.
The Contact List, for example, is divided into separate files by team so that each team can make
and distribute updates to their list without having to coordinate input from other teams. If a
contractor holds multiple contracts with CMS and if this contractor wants a separate Contact List
for each contract to facilitate updates by different teams, this is allowed. The multiple tabs within
each Contact List Excel Workbook facilitate differentiation between multiple task orders on a
single contract.
Use Across Multiple JOAs – The templates for these appendix documents, such as the Contact List
templates, have been formatted so that they can be applied to multiple JOAs, eliminating the need
to maintain similar/duplicate information across multiple JOAs.
Document Owner – The name of the individual person on each team who will update each
appendix will be identified by that team at the top of each of their appendix documents. This
facilitates identification of the person to whom updates should be sent.
Templates – CMS provides a standard template for each appendix which can be amended by each
party if necessary to effectively convey the information for their team. To promote consistency,
please apply the standard template to the greatest degree practical.
2.3. Required Roles
To promote proper direction of communication, each RAC and UPIC will
identify, in its Contact List, a Primary and an Alternate for each of the following
Required Roles:
• JOA POC – Joint Operating Agreement Point of Contact – This individual is responsible for
serving as the lead contractor point of contact in establishing and maintaining the JOA content
and in leading the resolution of any JOA-related issues that may arise.
• JOA Approver – One individual from the RAC and one individual from the UPIC
will be identified to approve the JOA.
• Operational Lead – This individual is responsible for serving as the lead point of contact in
performing ongoing operational work under the terms of the JOA. This standard title is used in
the JOA because various teams use different titles for the individuals that they have serving in
this role, and the JOA can not effectively incorporate all of those titles. Each party will identify
their Operational Lead in their Contact List, and they are welcome to add in the Contact List
any other appropriate titles for this individual as well.
2.4. Managing Change
Change Suggestions – Recommendations for updates to JOA documents are encouraged and are to
be sent to the Document Owner.
Revision History – Each Document Owner is to identify changes to JOA documents in the Revision
History Log.
Version Number – The version number is used to make sure that everyone is looking at the same
version of a document. The Document Owner is to increment the JOA version number each time
the JOA is sent out for approval. Multiple updates can be consolidated into the same version
number. The version number is imbedded as the last characters (ex: V01) of each file name.
Process Note: In MS Excel, updates to the version number in the file name are automatically
propagated to the top of each printed Excel document. In MS Word, select “File, Print Preview”
when the version number in the file name is updated to cause the updated version number to be
propagated from the file name to the top of the document.
2.5. Approval of Standard Core JOA
CMS Approval of All Versions of the JOA
• CMS will solicit input, make updates, distribute, and refine this Standard Core JOA as necessary.
Through this cycle of change, CMS will have reviewed and approved all updates.
RAC and UPIC Approval of the First JOA
• CMS directs that all Parties to the JOA (the RAC and UPIC) are to sign (using hand written
signature) the first jointly approved version of the JOA.
• To accomplish this, the JOA Approvers are to hand-write their signature on two copies of
Appendix Z, the JOA Approval Form, which they are then to mail (one copy each) to the
primary RAC JOA POC and UPIC TO COTR who are responsible for their retention and for
providing a copy of these upon request.
• To facilitate communication of status, the JOA Approvers are also to send out an email to these
individuals indicating that they have approved the JOA.
RAC and UPIC Approval of Ongoing Updates
• As CMS makes subsequent updates to the Standard Core JOA, CMS will advise contractors via
Email if the new version is sufficiently changed to require approval. CMS will also update the
last column of the Revision History table of the JOA to keep a record of which versions require
approval.
• A hand written signature is not required for ongoing updates. Instead, an electronic signature
(an electronic copy of the approver’s signature) is to be used as the signature.
• To provide approval for ongoing updates, the JOA Approver is to fill out Appendix Z, paste in
their electronic signature, and then send this completed document via email to the Primary and
Alternate JOA POC for the RAC and UPIC TO COTR. The Primary JOA POCs and TO
COTRs are responsible for retaining these emails and for providing a copy of these upon
request.
No Approval Required on Appendix Updates – No approval is required on updates to the
appendices.
Timing of Approvals – Parties are to provide approval within 10 business days of receipt of an
updated Standard Core JOA. If parties have an issue with the JOA, they are to raise this issue
within 10 business days. If no issues are identified before the end of this period, the JOA updates
will be considered approved.
Distribution – Each JOA POC will disseminate information regarding the update
within their organization.
3. Communication
Communication is a crucial component that will occur at multiple levels using
multiple tools and techniques as described below.
3.1. JOA Checkpoint Meetings
Purpose – These meetings provide a forum for communication on topics of mutual interest among
the Parties to the JOA. Topics will include a discussion of any issues with coordination among the
parties the status of any changes to the JOA documents.
Location – These meetings will most often take place via conference call. In those instances where a
RAC and a UPIC are located close enough to allow a short drive, some participants may join in-
person.
Frequency – The meetings will occur at minimum on a quarterly basis for the first year after the
signing of the first JOA and then at least semi-annually thereafter.
Meeting Dates – CMS representatives need to attend multiple of these meetings across contractors,
so CMS will work with contractors to coordinate spreading of these meetings over time. At the
conclusion of each meeting, the participants will determine mutually agreeable timing (and location
where appropriate) for the next meeting; information that will then be confirmed via email.
Changes will be communicated through the JOA POC via email.
Facilitation – Responsibility for facilitating the meeting will rotate between the RAC and the UPIC.
This will include preparation of the agenda, providing a dial in number, facilitating the discussion,
and capturing and distributing meeting minutes.
Meeting Minutes – Are to be distributed within five business days of the meeting and should clearly
identify Action Items for review in the next meeting.
Participation – Invitees are to minimally include the applicable CMS COTRs and the Primary and
Alternate JOA POC. The JOA POC will invite other participants as appropriate.
3.2. Other Workgroup Meetings
Purpose – In addition to the JOA Checkpoint meetings, the Parties to the JOA will interact on a
regular basis in smaller workgroups to address specific needs.
Location, Timing, and Facilitation –Will be similar to the Checkpoint Meetings.
Formation – Recommendations for new workgroups should be considered at the JOA Checkpoint
Meetings.
3.3. Issue Escalation and Resolution Process
Issues will be escalated if necessary for resolution via the following process:
1. Source – The RAC and the UPIC individuals identifying the issue will work with their
counter-parts first to attempt to resolve the issue.
2. JOA POCs – If they are unable to come to a resolution, the matter will be brought to the
attention of the RAC Contractor JOA POC and the UPIC JOA POC (identified in the
Contractor Contact List Appendices).
3. Operational Leads – If they are unable to come to a resolution, the matter will be
escalated to the RAC Operational Lead and the UPIC Operational Lead (identified in the
Contractor Contact List Appendices).
4. CMS Contract Officer Technical Representatives (COTRs) – If they are unable to come
to a resolution, the Operational Leads will bring the matter to the attention of the CMS
COTRs (identified in the CMS Contact List Appendices).
5. JOA Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Team – In the event the dispute between the
RAC and the UPIC cannot be resolved, the issues will be directed in writing to the CMS
RAC and UPIC Contracting Officers, Project Officers, and COTRs for resolution by the
JOA ADR) team. The ADR team will issue a written determination to both the RAC and
the UPIC.
Timing of Issue Escalation and Resolution – The speed with which issues are escalated and
resolved will be dependent on the priority of the issue, with higher impact issues receiving quicker
attention by all parties. As a general guideline, parties should endeavor to resolve or escalate an
issue within 1-3 days of its receipt, or they should reply to all parties to advise them of the reasons
for additional time needed for action.
3.4. Non-Compliance
If a party does not comply with a provision of the JOA, notification and resolution will take place
as follows:
1. Notification – If a party does not comply with a provision of the JOA, the Operational
Lead for that party will notify the Operational lead for the other party.
2. Resolution – A non-compliance is often one-time event with no significant impact
which can often be quickly resolved and prevented in the future through the interaction
of the Operational Leads. In these circumstances, escalation is not required.
3. Escalation – If a non-compliance creates an impact that either party feels requires
escalation either for notification purposes or for issue resolution purposes, then the
Operational Leads will notify the CMS COTRs. If necessary, the ADR process
described above will be applied to achieve closure.
3.5. Communication Regarding CMS Changes
As part of ongoing operations, the RAC and the UPIC Contractor staff will both review documents
received from CMS, including Transmittals, Program Memoranda, Change Requests and Notes.
The RAC and the UPIC Contractor will continue to determine their own operational impact and
will provide comments and escalate issues to CMS independently, as appropriate.
All issues that are determined to have an impact on any RAC or UPIC Contractor operations
included in this JOA will be submitted to the RAC and UPIC JOA POCs for discussion at the next
JOA Checkpoint Meeting, or sooner if appropriate.
3.6. Securing Email Information
CMS has indicated that it is not appropriate to send emails containing beneficiary or provider
identifiers (including names and numbers) even if those identifiers are contained within a password-
protected attachment. Each JOA Participant is responsible for obtaining, understanding,
interpreting, and implementing its own policies and procedures regarding use of email containing
beneficiary or provider identifiers. CMS Secure Email may be used to send protected information
to CMS and other users of this email system. If Secure Email is not available, send this information
via an encrypted CD through registered mail.
4. Identification and Action on Fraudulent Behavior
4.1. Identification and Notification of Fraud by the RAC
RAC Responsibility – When the RAC encounters an issue that meets the criteria of potential fraud,
the RAC will notify the RAC PO who will forward this to the Director of the Division of Benefit
Integrity Management Operations.
Indicators of Fraud – The following are indicators of fraud that must be reported to the RAC PO. The
RAC should use their best judgment to determine if other findings may constitute fraudulent
behavior. Section 6.2 of this Standard Core JOA provides information regarding training for the RAC
staff to identify fraud.
•
Submission of false claims
•
Services being rendered by unlicensed individuals
•
Ordered services being provided without a legitimate physician order
•
Claims for beneficiaries or providers that are deceased
•
Non-compliance with medical record requests
4.2. Coordination with Law Enforcement
The UPIC will interact with Law Enforcement related to potential fraudulent activity. The RAC
must not contact Law Enforcement with fraud suspicions; they must contact the RAC PO. Law
enforcement may contact the RAC with recovery inquiries but any other LE RFIs shall be referred
by the RAC directly to the UPIC.
4.3. High Risk Areas
CMS may identify High Risk areas within a UPIC jurisdiction. These are areas that are known to
have wide-spread fraud. The UPICs are required to take aggressive, rapid and innovative measures
to curtail fraud in these areas and this may impact the RAC’s ability to perform audits in these
areas. The UPIC will have the ability, in High Risk Areas, to suppress providers in order to protect
the UPIC and Law Enforcement’s ability to identify, prevent and prosecute fraudulent activities.
5. Training
5.1. Training provided by the UPIC
Purpose – Fraud detection and awareness training will be provided to assist the RAC in identifying
fraudulent behavior, including indicators that RAC staff should look for and examples of real fraud
scenarios.
Audience – This training is designed for members of the RAC team.
Initial and Annual Training – The UPIC will provide this training at the start of working together as
contractors and on at least an annual basis thereafter.
New Employee Training – The RAC will be responsible to provide this on-going training for new
RAC employees throughout the year using the materials provided by the UPIC.
Participation Requirement – Training participation is required to at least one session per year to be
provided by the UPIC. UPICs can rotate the responsibility for training and must avoid duplication
across contracts.
Training on Changes – Additional training will be provided by the UPIC when substantive changes
are identified in fraud detection and awareness.
