The Affiliated Computer Services Inc. (ACS) has recently provided funding, 3.9 million to be specific, through an extended year contract with Colorado’s Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), which would aid in support the program that provides children, 18 and under with and 200% below the United States’ poverty line, with adequate health insurance. ACS’ funding program initially commenced in 2003 and has been extended every year, due to the fact that they find it of utmost importance to ensure that each child whose parents do not have the means or access to health care is able to be properly taken care of under CHP+. Funding aside, ACS also has a distinct purpose, namely in the administration of the website, monitoring eligibility requirements and application processing, as well as the program’s management of grievances and petitions.

ACS is well versed in the general protocol of government healthcare programs’ administration and thus the extension of the contract is comforting to Coloradan politicians and citizens alike.
