LOL no they weren't -- it was just a BS hype pump post from Nalepka, following BIEL's strategy of posting on social media to try and get a little publicity and buzz without paying money for it.
BIEL was definitely NOT looking to "hire someone with CMS/Billing/Coding expertise." BIEL has no use for a CMS Coder because they don't deal with the CMS.amd they have no money to hire anyone into a new position anyway.
The irony is that Whelan probably asked Nalepka to post that BS, and as a consequence, VLMS Global Healthcare contacted Nalepka and then hired him away from BIEL.
