Coding Strategies, a auditing, education and reference consulting firm, and CodeRyte, a provider of computer-assisted coding, have announced plans to pool their collective resources to offer educational opportunities and coding expertise for the healthcare industry.

The creation of the informal, referral partnership grew out of the organizations' working together to present coding and reimbursement strategy seminars for the AHRA's Leadership Institute.

The Powder Springs, Ga.-based Coding Strategies and the Bethesda, Md.-based CodeRyte said they share many of the same clients, and were encouraged by their mutual clients to build on the seminars they offered.
