The Audit Group, Inc. (TAG) Wins Contract for AP Review at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals

ST. LOUIS (TAG) – The Audit Group, Inc. (TAG)–a Chesterfield, MO-based healthcare auditing company–announced on Thursday, August 15, that it has signed a contract with Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals (TJUH) to perform and independent Accounts Payable and Purchasing review of the system.  

The review will assess TJUH policies and procedures in its purchasing and payable practices, make recommendations on process improvements, and recover any lost funds through error or oversight. 

TJUH  is a private healthcare system and was named as the 17th best hospital in the United States for 2013-2014 by the U.S. News & World Report.  TJUH operates four primary hospitals in Philadelphia and Voorhees Township, New Jersey. 

TAG–founded in 1987–examines the supply chain contracts and statements of large healthcare systems and hospitals.  When it discovers overcharges or overpayments, TAG then works on behalf of the clients to recover the funds, typically adding hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars back into the hospital’s accounts.   During the audit process TAG also reviews its client’s payable practices and recommends improvements for future savings. 

Founded by CEO John M. Weiss, Jr., TAG was a pioneer in the area of healthcare purchasing and payables audits when it began 26 years ago.  Today, it continues to work exclusively in the healthcare industry.
