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 secure 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.
