August 14, 2025Index Analytics LLC (Index) announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded the Baltimore-based data and IT company an artificial intelligence based machine learning models contract. In collaboration with its two industry partners, Explore Digits Inc. and ICF, Index will maintain and enhance an artificial intelligence solution that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to interpret stakeholder comments and nursing home surveys submitted to CMS. The $15.8 million CMS contract has a four-year period of performance.
“We work with CMS on various projects and are grateful for their continued trust in Index’s ability to drive and deliver advanced technologies,” said Raghu Akkapeddi, CEO of Index Analytics LLC. “The contract award provides Index and our industry partners with an exciting opportunity to develop an artificial intelligence solution that will accelerate CMS’ public review process, categorize data efficiently, and improve how federal agencies collect critical information.”
When the federal government proposes changes to regulations, CMS receives and manually reviews hundreds of thousands of public comments from companies, government employees, physicians, patients, and open-door forums. The artificial intelligence machine learning module developed under this contract will accelerate CMS’s review process by filtering and providing insights for public comments that are difficult to obtain manually.
Index has been supporting CMS with enterprise-wide health IT initiatives since 2012. The recent artificial intelligence module learning contract award reflects Index’s deep understanding of CMS’ business environment and successful execution of technology development within CMS.
