DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS), A Xerox Company (NYSE: XRX) announced the successful implementation of a new Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) for the District of Columbia, Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF).
The system will benefit the District, its citizens and healthcare providers with innovative features that include a Web portal and interactive voice response system (IVR) offering real-time submission and processing of Medicaid claims, claim status, recipient eligibility verification and provider payment information; and improved system abilities to increase efficiency and detect fraud by analyzing provider payments.
ACS has been the District’s Medicaid fiscal agent since February 2001 and developed the MMIS under a seven-year $111 million contract with the District awarded in 2007.
“The new MMIS for the District of Columbia and the innovative features we have provided, including the ability for case management to be conducted remotely with a laptop at a beneficiary’s home, is another example of how ACS designs solutions that simplify processes, and provide cost savings,” said Mark Boxer, group president, ACS Government Healthcare Solutions. “Working closely with the District of Columbia we were able to implement a new MMIS in 27 months well ahead of the national average for similar projects, which is more than 36 months. We will continue to ensure that the system meets their evolving needs.”
ACS is a national leader in state healthcare program administration, offering a full spectrum of systems and complementary services through an integrated solution, from care management solutions and child health programs to pharmacy benefits management and traditional Medicaid fiscal agent services. ACS supports more than 35.5 million program recipients and processes nearly 571 million Medicaid healthcare claims annually, representing close to $50 billion in provider payments. As the nation's largest government program pharmacy benefits administrator, ACS serves 28 programs in 22 states, the District of Columbia with drug expenditures totaling more than $7 billion.
