To maintain your RAC-CTA certification, you must recertify every two years. The current recertification requirements include participating in the RAC-CTA Recertification On-Demand Workshop and passing a final exam with a score of at least 80%.

Following this 10-part on-demand workshop totaling three hours and 45 minutes, you will:

• Understand the updates to the long-term care regulations that impacted the work of the Medicare specialist
• Identify areas to monitor and audit based on regulatory changes
• Recognize potential risks or penalties if out of compliance with updated regulations
• Identify key Medicare specialist strategies for success

If you do not meet the recertification requirements by the expiration date of your certification, or if you allow your RAC-CTA certification to lapse, you will no longer be entitled to use the RAC-CTA credential. If you want to regain your certification after your expiration date, you will be required to retake and pass the ten final exams for the RAC-CTA recertification program.

3.75 contact hours will be awarded for this continuing nursing education activity. Learners must view at least 80% of all videos and complete the associated evaluation to receive the contact hours. No partial credit will be awarded. Contact hours will be awarded for this activity until February 13, 2027.

Note: Purchasing recertification courses does not extend the expiration date of your credential. The expiration date for your credential remains the same, regardless of when your course materials expire.
