Virginia College News

A new business affiliated with Virginia College recently opened its doors in Birmingham, Alabama, and Austin, Texas, with aim toward assisting medical practices in their billing and medical coding needs. Virginia College Healthcare Reimbursement Services (HRS) is a business owned and operated by the schools, and is run and staffed by professionals in the field. However, the operations give students in the school's Medical Billing and Coding or Healthcare Reimbursement academic programs the opportunity to work in the real world--under the supervision of the pros--while they complete their training.

HRS Director Jeff Reiner says, "We have partnered with EHS, which has industry-leading technology they have developed for the medical market, and that gives our students access to systems they will encounter on the job when they graduate. At the same time, we are able to offer our services to medical practices at a reduced cost and offer them tremendous service with greater accuracy."

Reiner notes that approximately one fourth of all medical practice income is lost due to under pricing, under coding, missed charges or un-reimbursed claims. Hundreds of millions of dollars are lost annually due to medical billing errors. Employing HRS as an outsource partner can not only have an immediate impact on a practice's bottom line, but free up physicians to concentrate on patients instead of being concerned with the business side.

HRS recently launched its web site at www.vcmedbilling.com. The site further explains how HRS works with Virginia College and patient practices, and details the partnership with EHS.
