Maryland announced the State has reached a settlement with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), a State contractor to the Maryland Department of Health (MDH), to resolve litigation between CSC and the State. CSC will pay the State $81 million. The settlement resolves disputes stemming from a major IT contract entered into between MDH and CSC.
