Under the terms of the agreement, the company will be responsible for delivering medical coding audits that will ensure systematic, unbiased, independent examination of medical documentation.
The audits will also help validate all medical codes that enter the Military Health System to meet official coding policies, regulations, requirements and standards.
The integrity of the data, which ensures value to the patient, supports the AFMS mission by playing a major part in workload, reimbursement, provider currency, decision support, and population health and disability services.
Serco chairman and chief executive officer Dave Dacquino said: “We believed that our acquisition and programme management services were a good match for this programme, and we are proud to have earned this new contract to support the Air Force Medical Service.
