About Our Company

DCS set up its Healthcare Services division to work with government and private organizations that outsource the identification of overpayments and underpayments to agencies whose core competencies are in the efficient and thorough examination and resolution of healthcare related assets. DCS' Healthcare Services is dedicated to providing organizations that have practical consideration for not just the immediate identification of underpayments and overpayments that may have resulted form erroneous, fraudulent, or wasteful procedures, but also aim to successfully recover all necessary overpayments within a set timeframe and budget. DCS' Healthcare Services can also provide other professional services related to the recovery effort, including reporting capabilities, support services, and stakeholder training programs meant to mitigate future instances of improper payments.

DCS employs specialized processes to ensure that improper payments are quickly identified and resolved in a fair and equitable manner for all parties involved. DCS also helps promote outreach efforts and forums to apprise the public and healthcare providers of the nature of a particular program and to gain their understanding and cooperation in determining the correct outcome of the disbursement of payments.

Prior to the release of most recent competitive Recovery Audit Contractor bid, DCS was awarded a three-year contract for the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) RAC Demonstration contract of California by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In a final report, an independent committee found that DCS was responsible for over 90% of the dollars recovered by recovery specialists for the MSP RAC demonstration.

In 2008, DCS received the CMS Recovery Audit Contract (RAC) award based on its familiarity with CMS and its proven track record of quick and thorough recovery efforts. Under the RAC contract, DCS will assist providers in reducing Medicare improper payments, and help eliminate on waste and abuse within the Medicare program.
