I was struck by another passage from the chapter:

"CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] is required to provide for effective controls over the creation of records, including the making of records containing adequate and proper documentation of the contractor's administration and operations. Each contractor is required to establish and maintain an active, continuing program for the economical and efficient management of the records outlined in §30.20.
The contractor's programs must provide for:

* Effective controls over the creation, the organization, maintenance and use, and disposition of all CMS health insurance claims and non-claims records; and

* Development and application of standards, procedures, and techniques designed to assure the maintenance and security of records of continuing value and facilitate the disposal of all records of temporary value."

Now there's a management directive to start an RM program!
