Among the upgrades are a Web-based tool that will enable health care providers to electronically enroll in the Medicaid program as well as a number of internal processes.
EDS will continue as fiscal agent to the state and its 27,000 health care providers, who care for more than 800,000 recipients and comprise the nation's 17th-largest Medicaid program.
The agreement includes a seven-month phase to design, develop, test and implement the additional features followed by a six-year management term.
The EDS solution will provide Indiana with enhanced transparency as it implements Gov. Mitch Daniels' package of Medicaid reforms such as the Healthy Indiana Plan, which provides health coverage to previously uninsured Indiana residents, and the movement of aged, blind and disabled residents to a care management model. It also will continue claims processing coverage for other Indiana health programs.
