Under terms of the contract, CGI will optimize the plan enrollment and compliance processes of over 800 private health and drug plans in the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D (MAPD) programs.
“With more than two decades of experience in delivering complex enterprise information technology projects for HPMS, we are proud to extend our support to further advance the CMS HPMS mission and help transform the accessibility of health plans for Medicare beneficiaries through a secure system,” said Ksheeraja Velangulam, CGI Vice-President, Consulting Services, and Lead for CGI’s HPMS engagement.
“Through our comprehensive healthcare industry knowledge and deep technical expertise, we will deliver innovative solutions that enable CMS to meet the evolving expectations of program beneficiaries,” added Velangulam.
Additionally, CGI will work to provide strategic business and technical solutions to deliver a full-service website designed to optimize the HPMS user experience of more than 70 software modules that highly vary in complexity and scope.
“CGI understands the current challenges in operationalizing data for the Medicare, Medicaid, and healthcare marketplace communities,” said Steve Sousa, CGI Senior Vice-President & Health and Social Services Business Unit lead.
“As the need for evolving digital ecosystem interoperability continues to grow, CGI supports CMS to reinvent digital strategies and optimize operations to improve the beneficiary journey and customer experience,” he said.
