SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — TrustHCS(SM), a health information management, coding, compliance, and revenue cycle consultancy firm for healthcare providers, proudly announces a merger with Legacy Coding, LLC., a boutique clinical coding and auditing firm headquartered in Poncha Springs, Colorado. Together the two companies offer a profusion of talented subject matter experts for coding, auditing, clinical documentation improvement (CDI) and revenue cycle integrity across all fifty states. The announcement was made by Torrey Barnhouse, President, TrustHCS.

“With a long-standing reputation for solid relationships and impeccable service, Legacy Coding’s culture, customer focus and ethics were a perfect fit for TrustHCS,” mentions Barnhouse. “The companies are synergistically on the same path and our union guarantees solid growth precisely when healthcare providers need us most,” mentions Kelli Fosick, COO, Legacy Coding.

All Legacy Coding employees will transition to TrustHCS over the coming weeks, each bringing with them AHIMA ICD-10 Trainer Certification and twenty years of health information management (HIM) experience on average.
