- Description
- VISN 6, which encompasses the VA Medical Centers in Asheville, North Carolina; Beckley, West Virginia; Durham, North Carolina; Fayetteville, North Carolina; Hampton, Virginia; Richmond, Virginia; Salem, Virginia and Salisbury, North Carolina is seeking potential sources to provide Repricing of Health Care Provider Invoices Services. The contractor will perform preferred pricing services. This includes making healthcare provider discounts available to the VA and providing the preferred pricing information to the VA. Pricing is based on a percentage of the savings; if there is no savings, there is no payment to the contractor. The contractor?s fee is a percentage of savings on a per-claim basis with no additional fee beyond the percentage of sayings. Savings are defined as the difference between the VA allowable (the amount the VA would pay) and the contractor?s preferred price. When eligible veterans use providers offering discounts for hospitalizations, inpatient services, outpatient care, ambulatory surgery, dental, professional services, ancillary, or other services, discounted rates will be available to VAMC?s under this contract. All providers will submit their invoices to the individual VAMC in accordance with instructions. The VAMC verifies eligibility, that the service is appropriate given the veterans eligibility, and determines the amount the VA will pay on a particular invoice. The VAMC will document the amount VA will pay on the invoice and forward invoices greater than $150 to the contractor. The contractor will verify the provider?s best price for the services claimed, returning the information to the VAMC. The VAMC will select the lesser of the two prices for payment. The contractor shall prepare an individual pricing form for every invoice and return it to the VAMC with the discounted price clearly written on it. The contractor will pay for overnight or second-day shipping when it is used. The contractor will provide the capability to exchange invoices electronically using HIPAA-compliant transactions. This capability may or may not be exercised by the Government, which will be provided at no additional cost to the Government. The applicable NAICS Code is 524291 with a size standard of $6 Million. Contract period will be one year from date of award with two available one-year option periods. No formal solicitation document exists at this time. Responses to this notice should include the following: name and address of company/provider; business size; socio-economic category, if any; firm?s experience in providing and capability of expeditiously providing Repricing of Health Care Invoices Services and any other pertinent information which demonstrates firm?s ability to meet the above requirement. All responses shall be submitted in writing no later than noon, January 12, 2006, EST, to the attention of: Kathy L. Allen (90C), VAMC, 100 Emancipation Drive, Hampton, VA 23667. Fax number: 757 728-3132. E-mail address: kathy.allen1@med.va.gov. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Kathy Allen at 757 728-3120.
