On April 23, 2014, HealthDataInsights, Inc. (HDI), a wholly owned subsidiary of HMS Holdings Corp. (the “Registrant”) was advised that its protests of the payment terms included in the Request for Quotes issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with respect to the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor Program for Regions 1-4 have been denied by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).  The official decision has not yet been released to the Registrant since it contains protected information under a protective order.  HDI does not believe that this ruling will adversely impact any procurement decision by CMS, but the results of that procurement decision are not guaranteed.
