/PRNewswire/ -- Connect for Health Colorado and CGI (NYSE:
GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), a global IT services and business consulting
firm, today announced 10 years of partnership throughout the
implementation and management of the state's health insurance
marketplace, one of the nation's most successful online insurance
portals. The technology and solutions built in partnership with CGI
have enabled Connect for Health Colorado to successfully support
ten open enrollment periods since the launch in October 2013, allowing Coloradans to shop online
and enroll in health plans, verify eligibility for plans and
subsidies, and get help with coverage options.
CGI and Connect for Health Colorado
celebrate 10 years of one of the nation's most successful online
insurance portals.
"I'm so pleased that our strategic partnership with CGI has
resulted in hundreds of thousands of eligible Coloradans enrolling
in affordable health insurance coverage. Our CGI partners have
helped us develop significant domain expertise, modernize our
technology, and train staff, so we're set up for success now and in
the future. I'm excited to build off our successes to improve our
programs in Colorado and to
explore opportunities to help other entities implement similar
programs which increase access, affordability, and choice in their
state," said Kelly Davies, Chief
Product Officer, Connect for Health Colorado.
Through this partnership, Connect for Health Colorado and CGI
continue to introduce new tools and capabilities to the
marketplace, including:
- A new, user-friendly eligibility system and transformational
platform modernization.
- A system optimization model that has achieved 94% less planned
downtime, 65% less unplanned downtime, and no 2021 or 2022
unplanned outages.
- More efficient upgrades and maintenance, lowering operating
costs by 77%.
During the pandemic, Connect for Health Colorado and CGI
expediently implemented American Rescue Plan changes and rapidly
deployed a COVID-19 help desk to support delivering test results to
Coloradans.
Connect for Health Colorado has been recognized as one of the
most financially secure, efficiently-run, and innovative healthcare
exchanges in the nation and now the partners plan to explore how
their policy, operational and technical expertise – coupled with
proven development and implementation capabilities – may assist
other states and exchanges as they undergo their own
transformations.
"CGI is proud of what we have accomplished through this enduring
partnership with Connect for Health Colorado," said Aleta Jeffress, Senior Vice-President,
Consulting Services for CGI. "Together, we remain committed to
improving access, affordability, and choice for Coloradans
