Cartoon Caption Contest Winners: Beware the RAC!
Humor with an edge definitely described last month's "Beware the RAC" cartoon caption contest entries. Medscape readers were clearly sardonic about Medicare's Recovery Audit Contractor program and reflected some not-too-hidden exasperation.
Still, levity didn't desert readers, as we received a sizeable number of clever responses. Of note, at least 10 readers came up with the virtually identical response straight from Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. "Please sir, I want some more!"
First Prize: $75 American Express® gift card:
"What do you mean, no payment??? Since when does RAC mean 'Recover ALL Cash!'"
Second Prize: $50 American Express® gift card:
"There is no 'I' in payment, Doctor!"
Third Prize: $25 American Express® gift card:
"My 12-Step Medicare Recovery program prompted these amends."
And Honorable Mention to:
"Please sir, can I have some more?"
"Are you serious? I thought RAC stood for Really Astronomical Costs!"
"Can I kiss your feet too?"
"We've done it! We mixed the DNA in the lab to create an uber doctor who will work 24/7 without pay! Does this work for you?"
"Here you go! My dog had not eaten them yet!"
