Conduent is the current provider for Member Contact Center services. The current contract 4400016696/5400011045 expired on February 13, 2024. SCDHHS then transitioned to an emergency contract with Vendor. SCDHHS is planning a strategic change to move from the current Member Contact model to a new unified service center strategy to provide improved Medicaid customer and contact center services which has been approved by CMS. SCDHHS will soon release a competitive request for proposals (RFP) to procure a contract for the unified customer service center. Critical economy and efficiency can be achieved by the continuation of these services, rather than an attempted re-procurement of these services when the intent is to include these services in the new unified service center strategy. The process is expected to require approximately a year to gain all necessary approvals, award. The uninterrupted continuation of these services until the unified service center is awarded and operational is critical for the health, safety, and welfare of the most vulnerable citizens of SC. Failure to provide the services would impact Medicaid recipients’ ability to receive care.
