Exhibit 300 (BY2010) - CMS Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS)

PART ONE

OVERVIEW

1. Date of Submission:: 2008-09-08

2. Agency:: 009

3. Bureau:: 38

4. Name of this Capital Asset:: CMS Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS)

5. Unique Project Identifier:: 009-38-01-01-01-1020-00

6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2010?: Mixed Life Cycle

7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?: FY2005

8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.: CMS is currently in the process of developing & implementing a single, integrated dual-entry accounting system. This accounting system, the Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS), will replace the existing 52 separate accounting/payment systems for Medicare & Medicaid. HIGLAS represents the consolidation of 2 major CMS projects within the office of the CMS Chief Financial Officer. The first project, the Integrated General Ledger and Accounting System (IGLAS) project, was initiated to improve the accounting & financial management processes used by CMS's Medicare contractors to administer the Medicare Parts A & B programs. The second project was an effort to improve the agency's central administrative accounting & financial management processes. These 2 activities were combined into the HIGLAS project. The Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) requires each agency to implement and maintain financial management systems that comply substantially with federal financial management systems requirements, applicable federal accounting standards, and the U.S. Standard General Ledger at the transaction level. HIGLAS supports the U.S. Department of Health & Human Service's FFMIA compliance goals in having total CMS Payment Dollars on HIGLAS. At present, the total amount of CMS dollars accounted for in HIGLAS is at 61.0%. When CMS completes nationwide implementation of HIGLAS in FY 2012, the agency expects to achieve 100% FFMIA compliancy. To date, 13 Medicare Contractors have transitioned to HIGLAS, including the implementation of administrative program accounting for federal Medicaid and SCHIP State grant payments in October 2007. By the end of FY 2008, there will be a total of 14 Medicare Contractor sites using HIGLAS. In FY 2010, 8 additional sites will transition to HIGLAS, including the implementation of Part C&D functionality. HIGLAS helps retain the CMS "clean opinion" on the federally mandated audit of CMS financial statements, as set forth under the Chief Financial Officer Act. Moreover, HIGLAS allows CMS to address the material weaknesses as identified by the 1998 DHHS-Office of the Inspector General financial statement audit of CMS. If HIGLAS is not fully funded then the transition schedule could be delayed, which in turn could have significant impact on meeting our FFMIA goal. In addition, lack of funding could have a negative impact on the Agency's clean opinion on the CFO Audit.

PERFORMANCE

In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.

Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

PART TWO

RISK

You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.

1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?: yes

1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?: 2007-11-23

1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?: no

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:: Program risk management is an ongoing part of project management on the HIGLAS program. We have a very robust risk management capability in place that requires biweekly meetings with active participation spanning all aspects of the HIGLAS program. The systems integrator and CMS actively work together to identify, manage and track risks that could adversely impact the program. Costs associated with the risk capability are captured in individual task orders and included in the cost estimated throughout the lifecycle of HIGLAS. Due to the complexity of the HIGLAS program there are several identified areas of high risk. Schedule and cost risks are continously monitored and mitigated through our established processes. In some cases, scope and/or schedule must be adjusted to avert cost overruns. Risks associated with added functionality to HIGLAS are assessed and mitigation and/or contingency plans are developed as necessary. Risks relative to government mandates are managed within existing risk management processes.

COST & SCHEDULE

1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?: yes

2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?: no

3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?: no
