HIGLAS -- Modernizing Medicare AccountingHIGLAS (Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System) is the main focus of a long-term project to modernize Medicare's accounting systems in order to improve the program's fiscal accountability to beneficiaries and taxpayers. HIGLAS will replace the many outdated accounting systems currently used by Medicare contractors, which process and pay nearly 3 million Medicare claims a day, with a single, unified system that will better ensure the program pays correctly for the care Medicare beneficiaries need. HIGLAS will also replace the administrative accounting system of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). General Information
