WellPoint's National Government Services Subsidiary Teams With Northrop Grumman on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Fraud Prevention System Task Order

INDIANAPOLIS, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- WellPoint, Inc. (NYSE: WLP) announced today that its National Government Services (NGS) subsidiary is partnering with Northrop Grumman to provide information technology support to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) National Fraud Prevention Program.

The National Fraud Prevention Program will be implemented by the Center for Program Integrity (CPI) within CMS. CPI will manage the prevention and detection of fraud, waste, abuse and other improper payments under the Medicare program.

The Predictive Modeling Development task order was awarded to Northrop Grumman with a potential value of $77 million over one year with three, one-year option periods.

"I'm delighted that NGS is partnering with Northrop Grumman to support this important CMS initiative, which validates the dedication of all National Government Services associates to seek new opportunities that expand our business," noted company President Sandra Miller.

CMS expects to launch the National Fraud Prevention Program by implementing a Fraud Prevention System capable of identifying high-risk claims and an integrated case management system that manages alerts.

As a subcontractor to Northrop Grumman, NGS will provide Medicare Fee-for-Service expertise, development of algorithms for fraud prevention, and hosting of information technology and infrastructure. Verizon, a fellow teammate, will provide a software platform - a customized version of the platform it uses for its own fraud detection programs - incorporating predictive modeling technology.
