CGI to revamp CMS websites for $73.2M

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded CGI Federal a five-year contract worth $73.2 million to continue its modernization, application management and maintenance efforts on three external websites that provide information to 44 million beneficiaries, as well as healthcare providers and other stakeholders.

The three websites—Medicare.gov, cms.hhs.gov and MyMedicare.gov—garner more than 500 million page views each year and serve as CMS’ online communication channels for beneficiaries and providers. The sites also support the 1-800-Medicare customer help lines.  

CGI Federal, a Fairfax, Va.-based subsidiary of CGI Group, has been working with CMS to modernize the websites so the agency can educate, and provide outreach services, as well as Open Government requirements, the company said.
