Optum Receives Contract Award From West Virginia Department Of Health & Human Resources

Recently, the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) announced it is awarding a contract to Optum for an Integrated Eligibility System. It is anticipated that the system will provide DHHR with the ability to support the eligibility, enrollment, and administration of its human services programs across a single framework.

The process for determining the eligibility of consumers for state social programs – such as Nutrition Assistance Program, child welfare, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families – should see improvement under the new integrated system. The award granting and bidding process were conducted under the guidelines of the Purchasing Division . . .
