Reduce the friction and streamline the process of preparing Medicare cost reports with the help of HFS+. Developed in a joint venture with Health Financial Systems (HFS), HFS+ offers an intuitive way to help prepare cost report workpapers and transfer the data into HFS with a push of a button.

With HFS+, you’ll tap into the strengths of two leading firms in the industry: Forvis Mazars and HFS.

Together, we created a software that:

  • Helps to increase efficiency of the preparation process that aids in your team’s overall productivity
  • Helps alleviate concerns associated with reduced cost report personnel and resources
  • Helps diminish startup time and data recollection from prior years
  • Provides a tailored implementation plan specific to your unique organization

Benefits of HFS+

The automatic sync functionality of workpaper data to HFS also limits the need for time-consuming review for input errors.
