Explanation of Responses:

1. The transactions reported were executed pursuant to a trading plan (the "Plan") entered into by the reporting person on August 8, 2017, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Plan provides for the exercise of an option to purchase shares of HMS common stock and subsequent sale of some of those shares in order to cover transaction-related expenses (including taxes, exercise price and fees). The option was granted in 2010 and has an expiration date within 2 months of the date of the Plan.

2. These shares are indirectly owned by The William C Lucia Family Trust, a revocable trust for which the Reporting Person is Trustee. Taking into account shares owned both directly and indirectly by family trust, the Reporting Person beneficially owned an aggregate of 714,943 shares following the transactions reported on this Form 4.

3. This option was previously reported as covering 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $59.32 per share but was adjusted to reflect the 3-for-1 stock split of the Issuer's common shares, effected in the form of a common stock dividend. The stock dividend was distributed on August 16, 2011, to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 22, 2011.

4. 50% of the option vested in three equal annual installments commencing on December 31, 2011. Vesting of the remaining 50% of the option was subject to the achievement of performance conditions which were not met; therefore, 50% of the option was canceled.
