Fairfax, Virginia, June 4, 2013

CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB)(TSX: GIB.A) today announced that Kentucky Health Cooperative (KYHC) and Louisiana Health Cooperative (LAHC), two of the 24 Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans (CO-OPs) established through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), have selected CGI to provide healthcare payer services for the next five years. CO-OPs are nonprofit health insurance issuers established to offer competitive health plans.

CGI will provide KYHC and LAHC with integrated, platform-based business process services ─ such as member and provider services, enrollment, billing, claims processing, printing and fulfillment ─ from its Center of Excellence in Bedford, Texas. CGI partner, Healthation, will provide the underlying technology for the CO-OP services.

“Partnering with CGI and their experience with the Affordable Care Act will allow us to focus on implementing our business model according to our mission of a member-customer focused health plan,” said Janie Miller, CEO of the Kentucky Health Cooperative. “The selection of CGI provides Kentucky Health Cooperative with the business services to operate efficiently while delivering quality health coverage and exceptional customer service.”

“CGI’s experience with state health insurance exchanges and the U.S. Federally-Facilitated Marketplace combined with their innovative offerings were key factors in choosing them to help us participate in the health insurance exchange marketplace,” said Terry Shilling, Acting CEO, Louisiana Health Cooperative.  “The CGI solution was tailored to our business requirements and provides flexibility as we grow and respond to market changes.”

“Healthcare payers must implement new strategies to compete in the new consumer-based health insurance market,” said Dave Henderson, Senior Vice-President for CGI’s U.S. Central South business unit. “CGI has the business knowledge, experience developing state and federal exchanges, and service offerings to help payers navigate the changing U.S. healthcare environment.”
