IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
HMS Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:HMSY) today announced that the Company will
present two sessions at the 2015 National Health Care Anti-Fraud
Association Training Conference and Anti-Fraud ExpoNovember 17-20 in
San Diego. The NHCAA Annual Training Conference is focused on anti-fraud
in the healthcare industry and is the single most important place for
industry leaders to share information on the field.

and contain healthcare costs,' said Bill Lucia, CEO of HMS. 'Our new
