The state of Tennessee has signed a contract with EDS to update and manage the state's Medicaid Management Information System. The contract extends the 14-year relationship between EDS and TennCare, the state agency that oversees Medicaid services for more than 1.2 million Tennesseans.

As part of the contract EDS will update the TennCare system with new computer hardware and software. In addition, EDS will provide system management, maintenance and enhancement services as well as mailroom, data entry, suspense resolution, and scanning and indexing functions.

"We are pleased to continue our partnership with EDS,” said Darin Gordon, director at TennCare. “We look forward to our continued working relationship and the implementation of enhanced computer systems and improved business practices.”
