Infocrossing Healthcare Services, a Medicare Managed Care services provider owned by Wipro Technologies, the Global Information Technology, Consulting and Outsourcing division of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), will support Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.(Mathematica) by assisting the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO), as they work with the States to promote more effective approaches to delivering integrated health care to individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (Dual Eligibles).

Under CMS's State Demonstrations to Integrate Care for Dual Eligible Individuals, multiple states across the country have been selected to design new approaches to better coordinate care for dual eligible individuals. CMS will provide funding and technical assistance to states to develop person-centered approaches to coordinate care across primary, acute, behavioral health and long-term supports and services for dual eligible individuals. The goal is to identify and validate delivery systems and payment coordination models that can be tested and replicated in other states.

Medicare Managed Care has experienced significant changes over the past 15 years. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the Medicare Modernization Act of 2004, and now the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) have resulted in significant challenges for Medicare Managed Care Organizations (MCO). Infocrossing has played a major role in providing services to help MCOs successfully meet these challenges.
