ATLANTA - ColoradoDesk -- Coker, a national healthcare consulting firm and portfolio company of Trinity Hunt Partners, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Healthcare Cost Solutions (HCS), a nationally recognized leader in coding audit and health information management (HIM) services with a focus on technology-enabled compliance solutions. Working with more than 100 healthcare organizations throughout the country, HCS' expert team of coding and audit professionals brings decades of deep expertise, coupled with HCS' advanced proprietary Healthcare Audit Resource Technology© (HART), to help organizations address compliance matters, reduce risk and recover lost revenue.
