A healthcare portal for the District of Columbia (DC) is built by $49.5-million, the contract which is bagged by Infosys Public Services, the US subsidiary of the Indian IT bellwether Infosys Ltd.

"The portal in the form of an exchange will benefit a quarter million residents of the district under the Affordable Care Act, as it will enable individuals, families and small businesses to buy healthcare coverage online," the subsidiary said in a statement here.

The first of its kind exchange, known as the District of Columbia Access System (DCAS), will be a human services solution that will provide seamless healthcare coverage with minimum risks.

A federal review of the proposed web-based portal has accomplished by district administration and the subsidiary will allow beneficiaries access, research and choose affordable health coverage.

"The exchange will be the first of the state-based marketplaces to gain federal approval in the second phase of tests," Paternoster said.

The new system will also deliver new case management capabilities spanning a range of the district's programmes and agencies.The system will provide an integrated eligibility system supporting Medicaid, private health insurance and other health programmes.
