The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Health Insurance Connector Authority (Health Connector) and Perot Systems Corporation (NYSE: PER) have announced an expansion of their current partnership in which Perot Systems will use its Xcelys health plan administration software solution to provide premium billing and enrollment services to the state health insurance program.
The addition of the Xcelys software solution, which will also be hosted by Perot Systems, is expected to streamline the enrollment, billing and statement processes, enhancing customer experience, increasing efficiency, and providing a greater flexibility of offerings. The technology upgrade will also provide a foundation for the Health Connector to grow and quickly adapt to program changes. Today’s announcement builds upon the relationship that began last year with an information technology and business process agreement between Perot Systems and the Health Connector.
Chuck Lyles, president of Perot Systems Healthcare said of the expanded partnership, “In the three short years since Massachusetts first established the Health Connector, it has gone from having the sixth highest percentage of insured residents in the U.S. to being number one, and we are proud to be part of this innovative program. The Xcelys software solution will enable the Health Connector to more effectively help residents find, retain and pay for healthcare coverage, making the program more efficient both for the state and for the people it serves.”
