In 2008, the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) will implement a
new health care program fiscal agent contract. Among many other changes, the new
contract will support multiple state-sponsored health care programs and replace
Wisconsin’s existing Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) with
ForwardHealth interChange. Through a secured Web portal, this new system will
allow providers and trading partners greater access to program information and
to conduct business online. Refer to the March 2008 ForwardHealth Update
(2008-24), titled "Introducing ForwardHealth interChange, a New Web-Based
Information System for State Health Care Programs," for an overview of the
implementation and a more detailed outline of the many business process
enhancements and added benefits the new contract will provide. |
