HealthCare Management Systems (HMS), an ArborMed company and provider of healthcare billing software, services and consulting, and CodeRyte have entered a strategic partnership to bring CodeRyte's computer-assisted coding technology to HMS-ArborMed and its clients. 

The agreement will mean the creation of a standard CodeRyte interface to send medical codes from CodeRyte directly to the Richmond, Va.-based-based HMS, further streamlining the coding process, according to the Bethesda, Md.-based CodeRyte.
