Perspecta wins $36.4 million task order to continue work providing IT infrastructure services to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

CHANTILLY, Va., April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Perspecta Inc. (NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider, announced today that it has received a follow-on task order award to continue work on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Virtual Data Center Prime (VDCP) contract to host and improve efficiency of Medicare Part A and Part B Common Working File (CWF) claims processing. The task order has a one-year base period plus four option years and is valued at $36.4 million. Work on this federal program will be performed in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  

Under this task order, Perspecta will process Medicare eligibility claims/queries daily from three shared systems, send claims to the Fraud Prevention System for fraud pre-screening and then return CWF responses back to the shared systems with the current Medicare beneficiary eligibility information. The Perspecta Medicare CWF workload includes the processing for more than 44 million Medicare Fee-For-Service beneficiaries in the United States and its territories; representing an average processing volume of 6.5 million claims daily.

“As the hosting provider of all four claims processing environments, we appreciate our customers’ confidence in selecting us to perform this follow-on work,” said Bill Lovell, senior vice president and general manager of Perspecta’s health group. “CMS is one of Perspecta’s longest-standing customers and this award is a true testament of our unrelenting innovation and success. We look forward to continuing our partnership with CMS in support of its mission to modernize its systems and processes.”

Perspecta has supported the Medicare program since its inception in the mid-1960s. In addition to providing hosting and support for four Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) claims processing systems, Perspecta also provides operations and maintenance support for the Medicare FFS Part A and Part B claims processing systems that adjudicate more than 1.2 billion claims annually as well as the CMS Integrated Data Repository that is the centerpiece of CMS’ Enterprise Data Warehouse strategy.
