HRS, a leading clinical coding and audit services firm in healthcare, is proud to announce that they have been awarded a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract by the General Services Administration (GSA). HRS can now support the coding and audit needs of any governmental agency including all Veteran Administration (VA) hospitals and any other healthcare provider that falls under the federal umbrella. The announcement was made by Wendy Coplan-Gould, RHIA, President of HRS.
"We are now able to provide services to any governmental agency, whether it is for clinical coding, audits, ICD10 preparedness, data abstraction, clinical trials, data analysis or clinical documentation improvement," mentions Coplan-Gould. The firm also offers outsourced health information management (HIM) services including interim management and special projects.
The GSA designation speeds the purchase cycle and allows customers to contract for services through a more streamlined and expeditious process. The designation also eliminates the need for formal competitive bidding procedures. Rates have been pre-negotiated and represent the best-possible pricing for federal agencies and providers.
"Where federal coding is concerned, experience matters," concludes Coplan-Gould. The firm already employs highly credentialed coders with extensive VA experience and knowledge. Coders are highly productive and accurate from day one with no learning curve and providers are at decreased risk for incorrect coding and denied claims.
