  • Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) March 27, 2014 - Compliance Implementation Services (CIS), a leading life sciences consulting firm, today announced the launch of COT Partner™ and PHS Partner™ in conjunction with the 6th Annual Government Programs (GP) Summit taking place at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center on March 26-28. COT Partner and PHS Partner are service-based solutions that combine sophisticated data validations, system-driven processes and GP experts to address challenges of accurate COT assignments and verification of PHS entity eligibility.

    Validating COT assignments and verifying PHS eligibility are the critical first steps in establishing accuracy in statutory pricing across the Medicaid, Medicare, Federal Supply Schedule and PHS Programs. Manufacturers that struggle with common industry challenges such as multiple IDs, inconsistent assignments and manual database searches can put themselves at risk. For example, giving PHS pricing to an ineligible customer may, among other issues, establish an unexpected Best Price and potentially expose the company to a False Claims Act violation.

    "CIS is very focused on the approach, methodology and documentation of COT assignments and PHS validation. We ensure our clients have the information needed to appropriately identify, evaluate and mitigate issues to solidify their company's commitment to Government Programs compliance," said Chris Cobourn, Senior Vice President, Commercial Compliance at CIS.

    Danny Umar, CIS' Government Programs Manager, will introduce COT Partner and PHS Partner and demonstrate features of the system on March 27 at 10:30 a.m. in CIS' PCX+ VIP Lounge. Attendees are invited to a meet and greet with Mr. Umar where he will discuss challenges and best practices for COT assignments and PHS program verification.
