Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS), a Xerox company, signed a 10-year, $1.6 billion contract to manage California’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). ACS will assume operations of the current MMIS and implement enhancements to improve operational efficiency and allow for greater control across Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. The program will then transition to the ACS Health Enterprise, a web-based, real-time system aligned with the new Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) standards.
ACS will also provide complete fiscal intermediary services, including provider claims payment, provider and stakeholder relations and training, beneficiary relationship services, telephone service centers, security and privacy protections, and more.
Aligning with technology partners, IBM and CGI, ACS will provide healthcare services for more than seven million beneficiaries from more than 80,000 health care providers throughout the state.
