Mass. Medicaid contract

By

	The Massachusetts Office of Health and Human Services is looking to replace its Medicaid management information system and related systems, so the state can satisfy HIPAA requirements. The new system will have better interfaces and be capable of accepting eligibility inquiries and responses. The state also wants a data warehouse that is separate from the claims adjudication functions and can hold data from other parts of the department and potentially other state agencies.
