RE: Central Finance Office (CFO) announcement
The Central Finance Office (CFO) provides family cost participation and insurance billing, child data system maintenance, and provider payments on behalf of the First Steps program. The agency operating the CFO is contracted with the State of Missouri.
On August 31, 2010 the State Office of Administration announced the award for the renewal of the CFO contract to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). This contract begins on September 1, 2010.
We are pleased to continue working with CSC and that services will continue with no disruption to families, providers, and System Point of Entry offices served by the First Steps program.
