We’re a progressive, forward-thinking company and our perseverance of innovation in technology reflects this. GCS provides visionary products and strategies focused on sustainability and ensuring the work we do for you today, will continue to pave the way for tomorrow.
Compliance Audits
GCS has over two decades of expertise performing compliance audits for professional services, aligning medical experience with regulatory guidelines. Our seasoned staff has a combined 30+ years of dedicated auditing experience including but not limited to: general and vascular surgery, orthopedic, medical oncology, neurosurgery, pain management, pulmonology, critical care medicine, dermatology, mental health, nephrology, cardiology, pediatric, internal medicine, family practice, OBGYN, and gastroenterology. GCS has invested in the most comprehensive resources for your regulatory needs both on a State and Federal level. Our research experts find the most granular information and guidance to ensure the advice from private and government payors is clear and concise. This combination of experience and resources brings with it our sophisticated reporting process and proprietary metrics, allowing GCS to communicate audit findings both at the executive and physician level.
Coding & Billing Support
Outsourcing short- or long-term coding can provide a means of accurate charge capture with the added benefit of real-time education for physicians and mid-level providers. Billing support may assist in times of short staffing or a leave of absence, removing this burden from the revenue cycle by ensuring timely claims filing and follow-up. Additionally, we have national RVU, APC and DRG payment calculators adjusted for your locality for claim appeals, fee schedule development, or comparative analyses. GCS can also provide coder and biller oversight and training for health systems adding new employees, departments, and specialties. Our credentialed staff is committed to a quick turnaround and accurate outcomes, while reducing the risk of revenue loss during transition periods.
Provider and Coder Education
GCS works to empower our clients, recognizing that auditing and coding support are only pieces of the compliance puzzle. Ongoing education and audit feedback foster a supportive environment to maintain accurate coding, stronger documentation, and long-term successes. Remote or on-site sessions can be customized following any audit and tailored to providers, auditors, or coders. On-demand webinars are also available for clients seeking a refresher course on any coding or compliance topic.
GCS has years of experience with healthcare technology startups navigating the complex intersection of innovation, compliance, and reimbursement. Our focus is on aligning new digital health solutions with government and private payor requirements from day one—ensuring that your business model is not only clinically valuable but also financially viable. With deep expertise in coding strategy and regulatory compliance, we work closely with founders to develop billing and reimbursement frameworks tailored to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payors. Whether you’re building a remote patient monitoring platform, AI-driven diagnostic tool, or virtual care solution, we ensure your coding and documentation strategies support clean claims and scalable revenue.
In addition to supporting operational readiness, we partner with investors to evaluate the long-term viability of health tech ventures. This includes financial modeling tied to billing acceptance, audit risk assessments, and strategic planning to position startups for sustainable growth in a highly regulated space. Our insights help de-risk early-stage investments and guide executive teams in building scalable, compliance-centered infrastructures. Whether you’re launching your first product or evaluating a new investment, we provide the strategic guidance needed to turn innovative healthcare technology into a reimbursement-ready success.
Strategic consulting for emerging healthcare tech
GCS provides expert clinical oversight for specialty peer reviews as well as hospital and clinic mergers and acquisitions. Dr. Stern and Dr. Sloan offer strategic guidance on electronic health record (EHR) implementations and workflow optimization aimed at minimizing risk, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring appropriate reimbursement. They play a critical role within our compliance department by leading efforts to resolve CMS and RAC payment appeals and manage denials related to medical necessity.
Medical Directorship
A key component of our services is delivering compliance-focused due diligence audits for large physician-based clinics and hospitals involved in mergers, acquisitions, and integrations. While financial performance and credentialing remain critical negotiation factors, assessing compliance risk is equally essential to protect the organization from potential liabilities associated with new partnerships, whether with groups or individual providers.
Our comprehensive risk analysis evaluates historical coding patterns, specialty utilization, documentation quality, prior audit outcomes, and relevant OIG alerts. This data-driven approach enables leadership to make informed decisions regarding compensation structures, quality incentives, and the establishment of “best practice” standards—ensuring that new alliances align with organizational compliance goals and support sustainable growth.
ACQUISITION DUE DILIGENCE
Our team has a collective 30+ years in providing expert investigative and defense support for local and national law firms. Ranging from small CERT audits and third-party billing issues, to large fraud allegations, we’ve played a significant role in defense cases. Our ability to accurately extrapolate and analyze coding/billing data exceeds expectations of our clients. Our leadership has developed strong working relationships with numerous medical societies and government agencies to provide our clients with the most comprehensive regulatory information available within the industry.
