– International Expansion Through Acquisition of India-Based Medical Coding Company –

Aviacode, a leading provider of technology-enabled medical coding and compliance services, today announced an international expansion through the acquisition of a Hyderabad, India-based medical coding company.  With Aviacode’s coding business at about eight million charts/encounters annually and continuing to grow, this acquisition expands Aviacode’s access to AAPC and AHIMA certified medical coders.  Aviacode’s US-based coding management, paired with US and India coders, provide for high quality 24/7 medical coding and fast turnaround times.

“Today’s medical coding industry is comprised mostly of domestic-only or global-focused players that present challenges of cost and quality,” said Keith Hagen, Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The marketplace is looking for a trusted one-stop coding solution – where providers have the choice of coding service delivery that meets their specific needs while having the reliability of proven US-based coding management.  This expansion enables Aviacode to deliver on this mission.”

Aviacode provides facility, professional fee, and HCC/risk adjustment coding services to improve revenue efficiency, cash flow, and compliance.  Combined with the acquisition of the assets of a long-time provider of facility coding outsourced services at the start of the year and this international acquisition, Aviacode is demonstrating nimble growth in expanding its capability to meet rising customer demand.
