Managed Care Weekly Digest

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced that two of its customer contact centers in Texas have achieved re-certification as a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal. These customer contact centers provide support for the Texas Eligibility Support Services (ESS) and Texas Enrollment Broker Services (EBS) contracts. This is the eighth consecutive year that the Company's health services operations in Texas have achieved this important distinction (see also MAXIMUS).

The BenchmarkPortal Center of Excellence distinction is based on best practice metrics drawn from the world's largest database of objective and quantitative performance data from thousands of contact centers. Performance data collected from the MAXIMUS contact centers achieved BenchmarkPortal's rigorous standards of efficiency and effectiveness in areas such as operational efficiency, service-level standards, customer satisfaction and employee training.

Under contracts with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), the MAXIMUS customer contact centers for the ESS and EB contracts provide support for many of the state's programs including Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and others. The customer contact centers also support the managed care enrollment broker services for the state's Medicaid population.
