ACS Announces $57 Million Contract With Missouri HealthNet
Date:3/7/2008

DALLAS, March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today announced a contract renewal with the Missouri (MO) HealthNet Division to provide electronic health records and pharmacy benefits management solutions. The contract has a length of up to 10 years and a total value of $57 million if all option years are exercised.

Under this contract, ACS will provide the state with several components of ACS' electronic health records (EHR) solution, including SmartPA(SM) for conducting automated prior authorizations and Prospective Drug Utilization Review. Since 2002, SmartPA has helped contribute more than $85 million in program savings annually in Missouri.

ACS has also provided MO HealthNet with Retrospective Drug Utilization review and academic detailing programs that have enabled the state to save more than $10 million. In 2002, ACS introduced the Get Well program, a disease management program, which helped the state save more than $7 million.

"We have worked closely with the State of Missouri to help them achieve their vision of providing MO HealthNet participants with the best care possible through innovative clinical and technology solutions," said Christopher T. Deelsnyder, ACS senior vice president and managing director, Government Healthcare Solutions. "ACS is noted for listening to our customers, learning about their business requirements, and implementing solutions for participants, providers, and taxpayers in each of the states we serve."

This contract renewal was reflected in the second quarter fiscal year 2008 results and extends a relationship that began in 2001.

ACS will also deploy EHR web tools -- DirectInform(SM), CyberAccess(SM) and DirectCarePro(SM) -- tha
