ACS Center for MMIS Excellence

ACS developed the very first Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) over three decades ago. Our latest generation MMIS was first implemented in 1998. Since that time our MMIS has performed well for state and CMS staff throughout the country and has received rave reviews. The system was designed with Web access as a fundamental capability. It was also found to increase programmer productivity by an average of 30 percent and by as much as 90 percent for some types of system changes.

Among its key features are the following:
Uses table-driven business rules to facilitate the addition of new healthcare programs
Supports multiple state healthcare programs and delivery models
Incorporates extensive online access and reporting features
Provides the most technically advanced platform
    - thin-client
    - n-tier architecture with powerful servers
    - appropriate hardware platforms
    - relational database management systems
    - high performance
Is fully scalable to whatever level of speed, volume, functionality, and online storage
Permits online accessibility and updates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Promotes a single point of security and transaction logging

This powerful MMIS is the nation's first high-volume MMIS that uses an IBM DB2 Relational Data Base Management System.

ACS has implemented more new Medicaid systems over the past 8 years than any vendor and is the only major MMIS vendor to achieve CMS certification retroactive to the first day of operations for all of its Medicaid fiscal agent operations, ensuring full Federal Financial Participation for our clients.
