SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:

This project is focused on the replacement of the Medical Management Information System (MMIS). The project is a major undertaking for our client and requires a major transformation of culture, processes and technology. This project also supports the transition from primarily a fee-for-service payor of claims towards a program and policy driver for health outcomes primarily through managed care programs.

The Replacement MMIS project is a multi-year effort to replace the States aging MMIS and related applications with more modern capabilities along with corresponding business operations services.

The goal of the MMIS program will be incremental and modular in nature with a focus on configurable and scalable integrations, which allow for more flexibility and reduces time and cost necessary to respond to federal and state enhancements.

A key strategy of the project is to remove specific requirements in order to allow for easier customization, increased vendor competition, and reduced cost. Our client intends to retain control over policy, business rules, and reference data. Our client retains control over an Operational Data Store (ODS) and all EDI components.

Provider Management
