Xerox NY Medicaid contract approved
In a deal just approved by the New York comptroller, Xerox will work with the state of New York through a $564.9 million, five-year contract to update its Medicaid claims processing system to a next-generation technology platform that will help manage expanding Medicaid rolls. New York Medicaid currently serves over 6 million people.
Working with the New York State Department of Health, Xerox will implement its Health Enterprise solution, a Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) that offers population health management, managed care and care coordination.
The system also allows New York Medicaid members and providers to access the system through a website optimized for mobile devices.
Xerox will have 18 months to construct the new operating system that will help New York's $52 billion Medicaid program move to a managed care apporach.
