State and Local Governments
We are a leading provider of business process outsourcing services to state and local governments. Our services help state and
local agencies reduce operating costs, increase revenue streams and increase the quality of services to citizens.
Approximately 45% of our fiscal 2003 consolidated revenues were derived from contracts with state and local governments.
State and local government clients may terminate most of these contracts at any time, without cause, for convenience or lack
of funding. Additionally, government contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations by government agencies. If
the government finds that we improperly charged any costs to a contract, the costs are not reimbursable or, if already
reimbursed, the cost must be refunded to the government.
Pricing for our services in the state and local market is generally determined based on the number of transactions processed,
human services cases managed or, in instances where a systems development project is required in our state healthcare unit,
we generally price our services on a fixed fee basis for the development work.
State Healthcare
We design, develop, implement, and operate large scale health and human services programs and the information technology
solutions that support those programs. Today, we operate fourteen state Medicaid programs and six state Child Health Insurance
Programs that cover approximately 19.4 million recipients, process over 397 million Medicaid healthcare claims annually and
disburse over $40 billion in provider payments. We also operate 25 state pharmacy benefits management programs that assist
states in controlling prescription drug costs, pharmacy intervention and surveillance and the processing of drug claims. We
