Signs three-year contract with state for claims
processing
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has
selected Accenture (NYSE:ACN) to serve as lead Medicaid vendor upon
the termination of the current prime contractor on August 1, 2014.
The contract has a three-year base period, with two one-year
extension options.
Since 2004, Accenture has served as the largest subcontractor on
Texas Medicaid, responsible for data center operations, technology
hardware, network operations and more than 100 software
applications. The overall project, known as the Texas Medicaid
Healthcare Partnership (TMHP), supports 3.6 million Medicaid
recipients and 45,000 healthcare providers through processing more
than 12.5 million Medicaid claims monthly, maintaining data on
Medicaid managed care transactions, and responding to Medicaid
provider and client inquiries through a variety of channels.
Accenture has been working closely with HHSC to transition and
mobilize people, processes, technology and facilities over the past
several months in preparation for managing operations of TMHP as
prime contractor on August 1.
“Accenture has run the Texas Medicaid claims processing
technology for the past decade, and looks forward to continuing to
help HHSC build a more efficient and effective Medicaid program
that benefits millions of Texans,” said Stephen J. Rohleder, group
chief executive for Accenture North America, who also leads the
company’s Texas business. “This expansion of our role on Texas
Medicaid builds on our 30-year record of delivering and operating
major systems for the state of Texas and taps additional areas of
our deep healthcare experience and capabilities.”
Accenture brings to the project extensive long-term experience
successfully delivering claims processing and healthcare provider
management systems and a record of service to many of the largest
U.S. and global healthcare organizations. The company, top-ranked
by leading healthcare industry analysts, has more than 5,500 Texas
employees including more than 1,100 in Austin. An Accenture
Delivery Center, which opened in Austin in March 2013, now has more
than 300 employees, and designs and builds software for state
health and human service agencies across the country.
