FAIRFAX, VA – CGI Group Inc. announced yesterday that it has delivered a turnkey Medicaid Electronic Health Record solution to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission that will allow the state to be one of the first in the nation to qualify for federal Medicaid EHR incentive payments.

The package which encompasses both IT and business services includes a provider portal, call center support, provider verifications and payment distribution and the development of the provider appeals process. Call center support and business services will be provided by CGI’s office in Troy, Ala.., while the IT and technology protion of the contract will be hosted in Phoenix.

“CGI’s solution allows Texas to be one of the first states in the country to enable eligible providers and hospitals to receive Medicaid EHR incentive payments in 2011,” said Holli Ploog, vice president with CGI. “Our Medicaid Incentive360 offering meets the program’s complex requirements and staffing needs, while providing accountability and control through service level agreements and reporting.”

CGI is delivering its solution via the state’s claims administrator, the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership. The two-year contract is valued at $8 million and includes three option years.

The news of the new contract comes less than a week after CGI announced its wholly owned subsidiary, CGI Federal Inc, signed a $55 million deal with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Under that contract, CGI will provide software development and operational support services for the Provider Enrollment Chain Ownership System (PECOS) including Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) registration and attestation functionality.
