"Our goal is to develop a new system that will enable the department to better manage Medicaid operations, and will serve over 102,000 Medicaid recipients in our state," said Gov. Mike Rounds. "CNSI has been selected to play a critical role in the successful development and implementation of a new management system in South Dakota."
Another key partner is the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The federal government will pay 90 percent of the costs as they have for similar projects in other states. According to DSS Secretary Deb Bowman, "Both the federal and state government recognize the long term benefit to taxpayers to have a MMIS that is efficient and able to support current and future management needs."
CNSI looks forward to being a trusted partner to the State of South Dakota," said Arvinder Singh, senior vice president, health and human services, CNSI. "We are committed to working in active collaboration with DSS, the Bureau of Information and Telecommunications (BIT) and other agencies to implement the new MMIS. We're excited for the opportunity to help DSS fulfill its mission and meet its goals."
