		<description><![CDATA[On February 6, 2009, CMS announced that the bid protests to the RAC program had been settled and that the RAC implementation could resume.  The two protesting organizations, PRG-Schultz, Inc. and Viant Payment Systems, Inc., will serve as subcontractors in the RAC program.  PRG-Schultz, Inc. will serve as a subcontractor to HealthDataInsights, Inc., Diversified Collection Services, and CGI in regions A, B and D.  Viant Payment Systems, Inc. will serve as a subcontractor to Connolly Consulting in region C.  Each subcontractor has negotiated different responsibilities in each region, including some claim review.  ]]></description>
