Arizona had more than it could handle
Since signing the original agreement in 1987, the companies have worked together to consolidate BCBSAZ’s multiple claims processing platforms onto MetaVance and integrate processes for HIPAA compliance, among other milestones. Today, MetaVance processes an average of 11 million claims per year for BCBSAZ.
“Reaching the highest customer satisfaction levels while reducing operating costs is one of our top operational and strategic priorities at BCBSAZ. Continuing to use MetaVance is a key component to delivering on this priority,” said Elizabeth Messina, senior vice president and CIO for BCBSAZ. “We have and continue to look to EDS for their IT and industry expertise.”
With this agreement, EDS will continue to deliver existing services, which include managing and enhancing MetaVance and hosting the software application at the EDS data center in Sacramento, California.
