HP signed an eight-year technology services contract with the Alabama Medicaid Agency worth $135 million, helping the state meet HIPAA requirements, improve healthcare delivery and increase program effectiveness.
According to the firm, “the new contract extends HP’s 30-year relationship with Alabama’s Medicaid agency, which oversees the Medicaid program for more than 900, 000 state residents each year. HP processed nearly 32 million Medicaid claims for Alabama healthcare providers in 2009.”
