Unisys Wins $179 Million Contract to Provide Medicaid Services for State of Maine

The State of Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has awarded Unisys (NYSE:UIS) a $179 million, seven-year, firm-fixed-price contract to provide a new Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) to manage Maine’s current and future Medicaid program. On behalf of the state, Unisys will design, develop, implement and operate the MMIS and assist the state with its technical expertise in managing the Medicaid program, known as MaineCare. Unisys will assume responsibility for many claims and customer service functions and provide systems to help administer healthcare management. In addition, Unisys will also provide hardware and software hosting, information management and data warehousing. It will also provide a connection to Maine’s eligibility system. Designed to meet Maine’s current program needs, the new MMIS will also allow for flexibility and the ability to adjust to any redesign within the MaineCare program as needed or required by federal law. The award builds on recent Unisys success winning contracts to support state Medicaid programs, including a contract award in December 2007 to provide systems and services for Idaho’s Medicaid program. Unisys also provides Medicaid systems and services to the states of Louisiana, New Jersey and West Virginia. Unisys will provide its flexible Health PAS solution, a multi-payer healthcare administration system and federally certified MMIS solution comprised of leading commercial software applications customized and fully integrated to form a comprehensive health information management solution. Health PAS is designed to enable Maine DHHS to efficiently accommodate program and policy changes, meet new federal Medicaid reform standards and enhance service to Medicaid recipients while helping to control costs. Unisys will deliver a proven solution responsive to the state’s vision of an innovative MMIS by including features such as a web browser user interface; modeling capability to help the state evaluate the impact of policy and benefit changes and compare them to existing programs; managed care functionality; and primary care case management models. "We look forward to working with Unisys to implement a proven and successful innovative system and fiscal agent services to support the management and evolution of MaineCare,” said Brenda Harvey, Commissioner, State of Maine DHHS. "This new MMIS will serve as our platform for attaining the State’s vision for healthcare excellence.” "We are pleased Maine is now among the growing number of states that have selected Unisys to help them effectively manage their Medicaid programs with solutions that promote rapid policy implementation and informed decision making,” said Greg Baroni, president, Unisys Federal Systems. "Unisys is excited about this opportunity to assist Maine’s efforts to integrate systems, operations and healthcare management processes into one solution to operate the MaineCare program.” About Unisys Unisys is a worldwide technology services and solutions company.
