Madison - A major overhaul of the state's Medicaid computer system will cost at least $9.3 million - or 28.8% - more than originally planned, largely because of changes to state and federal laws and rules, officials said.
……. Hayden said the state has an airtight contract with EDS Corp. of Plano, Texas, to finish the job. "We don't pay EDS until they do their work," he said.
