Accenture to start one-year contract to fix Healthcare.gov in February

Attempts to fix the problematic Healthcare.gov are not enough to save the health IT contractor CGI from losing its contract to run the site. Reuters reports the federal government will now enlist the services of the company Accenture. Since the website rolled out at the start of October, CGI worked throughout to try and fix the problems. The problems started evening out in December. Even so, CGI’s contract is scheduled to end in late February. Once that’s over, a one-year contract agreement with Accenture will start. The deal is worth about 90 million dollars. So far more than one million people are enrolled in health care plans through HealthCare.gov. Another one million people chose to rely on websites run by individual exchanges in 14 states.
