Health Insurance Exchange360 Introduced by CGI Group



A suite of business, technology and consulting services has been introduced by CGI Group Inc. States can now launch cost-effective and sustainable Health Insurance Exchanges with the suite named, CGI Health Insurance Exchange360. An announcement in this regard has been made by the top provider of information technology and business process services, CGI Group.

Creating online marketplaces has been the objective of the national Health Insurance Exchange initiative. Plans can be compared by individuals and small businesses at the online marketplaces. They can also obtain health insurance at these online marketplaces which will aim to reduce the number of uninsured Americans.

Expertise in health insurance, health IT and program administration is required for creating this new model. CGI has extensively worked with federal agencies, state governments and top commercial health insurers. The company has deep knowledge and insight across all of these disciplines.

States will be able to launch portals with CGI’s consumer-centric platforms, Health Insurance Exchange360. Apart from managing eligibility/enrollment, states will be able to seamlessly exchange data with commercial carriers and state and federal agencies.

Integration with existing state systems will be easy as CGI’s technology is highly flexible. Risk will be minimized and state investments can also be leveraged. States can evolve programs over time with the platform. They will also be able to respond quickly to legislative, regulatory and financial changes. A combination of CGI services can be selected by states as per their needs. Flexible funding models are also provided by CGI which will help in building sustainable programs. Economies of scale can be achieved as collaboration between states will also be facilitated.

In a release, Holli Ploog, VP of CGI said, “CGI Health Insurance Exchange360 brings states the benefit of our 20+ years of experience in health insurance and IT transformation. Our unique perspective and successful delivery of complex health IT systems in both the public sector and commercial markets will help states build a connected network across governments, providers and consumers.”

End-to-end IT and business process services are provided by CGI to clients across the world. For more information, visit http://www.cgi.com.
