Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Amended Master Teaming and Non Compete Agreement

 

On July 26, 2011, Health Management Systems, Inc. (“HMS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HMS Holdings Corp. (the “Registrant”), entered into (i) an agreement (the “Amended Teaming Agreement”) that amends and supplements the Master Teaming and Non Compete Agreements with Public Consulting Group, Inc. (“PCG”), dated September 13, 2006 and (ii) a Supplementary Medicaid RAC Contract Teaming and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Supplemental RAC Agreement”) with PCG.

 

William S. Mosakowski, a member of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, is the founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of PCG.

 

Under the terms of the Amended Teaming Agreement HMS and PCG (i) are each obligated to make the other its exclusive subcontractor for certain services defined therein, (ii) have agreed to work together to prepare and submit bids on certain projects and (iii) have each agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and promote cross-selling opportunities for the other.  In addition, they have each agreed to a non-compete provision with respect to specific services (excluding ongoing or pre-established projects or contracts) designated in the Amended Teaming Agreement as exclusive to the other in certain identified markets.

 

Under the terms of the Supplemental RAC Agreement, the parties have agreed to use their best efforts to work in partnership to secure Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) services contracts and to involve the other party in the scope of work under any future RAC contract won by the first company as a prime contractor.  In addition, HMS has agreed to take certain measures to promote or facilitate the potential inclusion of PCG in RAC work under contracts already secured by HMS.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Supplemental RAC Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which will be filed with the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011.
