State Plans To Renew EDS’ Medi-Cal Claims Processing Contract

Texas-based technology company EDS said it has received notification that the Department of Health Services will renew EDS' contract to process Medi-Cal claims, the Sacramento Bee reports (Sacramento Bee, 10/10). The new contract would run for four years with three one-year extension options and would be worth $150 million a year, a source familiar with the agreement said. EDS processed almost $12 billion in Medi-Cal claims last year (Reuters, 10/9). EDS has processed claims for Medi-Cal since 1987 (Sacramento Bee, 10/10).
