Deloitte’s bid of $1.92 million was less than the $2.6 million that the Georgia General Assembly authorized for the contract. The contract arises from legislation, pushed by Gov. Brian Kemp, to request federal permission – a waiver – to pursue changes to the state Medicaid program.

The state said Monday that it has picked Deloitte Consulting as the winner of an almost $2 million consulting contract to develop health care ‘’waivers’’ for Georgia’s Medicaid program and the private insurance market.

Deloitte won over five other firms contacted by state officials to solicit proposals. Its bid of $1.92 million was less than the $2.6 million that the Georgia General Assembly authorized for the contract.

The contract arises from legislation, pushed by Gov. Brian Kemp, to request federal permission – a waiver – to pursue changes to the state Medicaid program, potentially adding more people to the rolls.
