PRG-Schultz Announces Subcontracts with Three Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors

PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX) the world’s largest recovery audit firm, today announced that the Company has withdrawn its Government Accountability Office protest of the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) contract awards by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Company also announced today that it has entered into subcontracts with three of the four Medicare RAC contract awardees.

The subcontracts, with CGI Technologies and Solutions Inc., Diversified Collection Services, Inc., and HealthDataInsights, Inc., provide the Company with the opportunity to participate in CMS’s national Medicare RAC program by auditing certain Medicare Part A and Part B claims in three of the program’s four geographic regions.

Based on the most current publicly available data from CMS, management believes that the pool of claims that the Company will be auditing under the subcontracts, collectively, represents approximately 10% of the total pool of Medicare claims expected to be audited under the nationwide Medicare RAC program.

“We are pleased to announce our new relationships with CGI, DCS, and HDI,” said Romil Bahl, the Company’s President and CEO. “We look forward to working with each of them to exceed CMS’s expectations for the Medicare recovery audit contractor program in the three regions where we will be providing services.”
