Fairfax, Virginia, December 1, 2011

CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), a leading provider of information technology and business process services, today announced it was selected to administer Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program services for the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF). The program supports the department’s identification, correction, and prevention of improper Medicaid payments. The Colorado RAC program is a benefits-funded contract valued at approximately US$13.3 million over seven years, in which CGI will be paid from a portion of the improper payments recovered by HCPF.

CGI will utilize its Customized Audit System (CAS), an enterprise-wide solution that helps predict, identify, manage, and analyze medical and pharmacy claims. The solution includes provider outreach and education, appeals support, and a web portal to ensure program transparency to the provider community. CGI will also conduct medical necessity reviews as well as audit all Medicaid claims, managed care, Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), and conduct credit balance reviews.

“We are proud to welcome Colorado as our fourth RAC program state, further demonstrating CGI’s leadership in healthcare claims auditing and recovery for government-sponsored programs,” said Robert Rolf, Vice-President, CGI. “We look forward to partnering with the State of Colorado to help them achieve their goals as well as comply with federal healthcare legislation.”
