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 will provide the capability to exchange invoices electronical ly using HIPAA-compliant transactions.  The applicable NAICS Code is 524291 with a size standard of $6 Million.
