Collaborating to achieve the promises of healthcare reform

Maximus possesses unmatched experience with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as our support covers all the various facets of the law, ranging from choice counseling and eligibility appeals to education and outreach, training, and value-based programs. Through our work managing citizen engagement centers for publicly funded healthcare recipients, we answer thousands of ACA-related questions every day, helping consumers with gaining access to health insurance.

Medicare appeals

Since 1989, CMS has relied on Maximus to provide Medicare beneficiaries and providers with independent, conflict-free appeal decisions of health insurance denials. Because we have no financial affiliation with insurers or providers, we are the only conflict-free Independent Review Organization (IRO) providing Medicare appeals. We receive and review more than 600,000 appeals claims a year for Medicare, helping expedite the process to appeals determinations for citizens.

Streamlining independent medical review process for digital transformation

As a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is dedicated to advancing health equity, expanding coverage, and improving health outcomes for the American public. 

By using quality processes and technologies that streamlines the most complex QIC operations programs, Maximus was able to increase efficiency and improve its appeal process quality at scale. As a trusted technology and solutions service partner of CMS, we are proud to support the advancement of the nation’s critical health needs, transform clinical care, and establish a blueprint for the future of public health.
