Fazzi Healthcare Services, part of Northhampton, Mass.-based Fazzi Associates, has established a healthcare services and coding company in Limerick, Ireland, according to IDA Ireland.
The project is expected to create 300 jobs over five years.
The new Irish company has already started providing ICD-10 coding services to the U.S. home care and hospice sector, according to IDA Ireland. Expansion plans also include adding billing and distance learning offerings for international-based insurance companies and governmental healthcare entities.
