Maximus Inc. will provide enrollment broker services to Indiana for several Medicaid programs under a two-year, $15 million contract.

Under the contract, Maximus of Reston, Va., will provide call center and other customer support services to facilitate work on the Hoosier Healthwise, Medicaid Select and Indiana Care Select programs.

In addition, Maximus will provide the same services for a health insurance program for uninsured low-income adults known as the Healthy Indiana Plan.
