Medicaid Services' Data Migration and Digital Experience
Efforts
RESTON,
Va., Nov. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) recently awarded global consulting and
digital services provider ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI) two contracts to
support CMS' digital modernization efforts to improve access to
critical public health data. Both contracts were awarded in the
third quarter of 2022 and will continue the work performed by
SemanticBits, which was acquired by ICF earlier this year. The
acquisition of SemanticBits further positions
ICF as a leading provider of scalable digital
modernization services using open-source frameworks.
The first contract is a $25
million recompete task order to develop, operate and
maintain data.cms.gov, the agency's health data sharing website, to
ensure critical information can be easily discovered, accessed and
used by healthcare professionals and the public. It has a term of
54 months, including a six-month base and four 12-month
options.
The second contract is a $20
million expansion to modernize CMS' Internet Quality
Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES) which is used by
healthcare providers and over 60 federal and state agencies to
manage billions of records annually. ICF will also continue to
build systems to meet Medicare survey requirements and implement
new functionality to comply with federal reporting requirements.
The term of the expansion is 12 months.

generates and collects enormous amounts of data," said Mark Lee, ICF's executive vice president for

modernization services to help CMS rapidly improve data quality and
