CGI has won a recompete contract by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to modernize, maintain and operate the Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug system, Part D, which includes transitioning legacy platforms to the cloud.
The 5-year contract, awarded through the CMS Office of Information Technology Division of Medicare Systems Support, is valued at $44.1 million.
“We’re proud of our continued outstanding delivery on the MARx system and more than 20 years of trusted partnership and innovation with CMS,” said CGI Senior Vice President of Consulting Services Steven Sousa.
In announcing the award, CGI said it will leverage more than a decade of experience with MARx and a broad understanding of the Medicare Enrollment and Payment Systems ecosystem to recommend and implement a cloud-based environment using agile development and DevSecOps. The company expects to gain efficiencies and realize cost savings as MARx moves to the cloud.
“This modernization will provide needed support for the future operations of the MARx system, further expediting and securing prescription drug services for seniors or those eligible for Medicare,” Sousa said.
CGI was also awarded three other contracts from CMS in the past year, including a $100 million task order for CMS Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System 2.0 redesign and modernization; a $33 million Medicare Appeals System support contract; and a $34.4 million contract at the Center for Program Integrity to continue building its full lifecycle API Gateway.
