Automating and streamlining previously manual processes delivers results for MAXIMUS.

MAXIMUS, seeking to leverage emerging technologies for digital transformation, established an intelligent automation team. By cataloging and analyzing automation opportunities, the team identified benefits for customers and shareholders. One successful automation implementation involved the MAXIMUS health plan enrollment broker in Michigan. Prior to automation, manual evaluation of premium refund requests took weeks. Now, intelligent automations complete the review and produce an audit trail in under two days. Automation also streamlined the approval process for work scheduling changes in call centers, enabling supervisors to focus on performance management. MAXIMUS estimates that automation has already saved over $2.5 million annually, with further benefits expected in the future.
