FAIRFAX, VA, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - CGI Group Inc.
(NYSE: GIB; TSX: GIB.A), a leading provider of information
technology and business process services, today announced a
partnership with ACS, A Xerox Company (ACS), to deliver enhanced
fiscal intermediary administrative services and an advanced
Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) for California's Department of Health Care
Services (DHCS). CGI's component of the contract is valued at
US$168 million over 10 years.
ACS, the prime contractor, and CGI were selected after an
extensive, competitive two-year bid and evaluation process. The
California Medicaid Management Information System (CA-MMIS)
supports the Medi-Cal program and processes payments to thousands
of health care providers including physicians, pharmacies,
hospitals and other providers.
CGI will staff the Enterprise Project Management Office as well
as manage the Quality Management organization. In addition, CGI
will be responsible for automated business rules extraction and
business change management services relative to DHCS's transition
to the new CA-MMIS and will manage the testing organization through
our Sacramento-based testing
center of excellence. To improve third party collections, CGI will
customize and implement its Computer Assisted Collection System(R)
for Government (CACS-G) solution.
"For more than 25 years, CGI has partnered with the State of California to provide
built-for-government solutions that help governments be more
efficient and effective while serving their citizens," said
Dave Delgado, Vice-President of CGI
West Public Sector. "We're pleased to join ACS in helping
California's Department of Health
Care Services to transform their operations."
"The citizens and state of California, with more than seven million
Medi-Cal beneficiaries, will benefit from improved, efficient
management of health care services payments," said David Maxwell-Jolly, Director of Department of
Health Care Services. "The experienced team of ACS, including CGI,
met our challenge of modernizing a 30+ year old legacy system to be
more responsive yet cost effective. Through this partnership, we
will transform operations for one of California's largest programs, serving its
most vulnerable citizens."
