- Description
- The Government intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under simplified acquisition procedures, with AMERICA'S HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS, INC (AHIP), 601 Pennsylvania Ave NW, STE 500s, Washington DC 20004-2601, to conduct a survey of a representative sample of the nation's health insurance plans to describe the current state of health insurance plan preparedness and disaster readiness. Specifically, the survey will describe and assess the current landscape of health insurance plan disaster management infrastructure, protocols, processes, practices and messaging capabilities for an all hazards public health emergency or disaster. The representative sample will, at a minimum, target geographical and health plan size diversity. It will also identify any best practices and lessons learned from prior emergency and disaster responses, particularly those since Hurricane Katrina, which significantly challenged the healthcare system and health insurance plans. The survey findings and data will serve to inform current and future policy and planning efforts to promote disaster readiness and best practices across all health insurance plans. America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) is the only national trade association representing the health insurance industry. AHIP's members provide health and supplemental benefits to more than 200 million Americans through employer-sponsored coverage, the individual insurance market, and public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. AHIP's member plans are geographically representative of the entire nation and representative of all plan types and sizes (small 6K-199K, medium 200K-499K, large 500K+). As such, AHIP is the only organization that can ensure a nationally representative sample and requisite plan size and/or plan types. AHIP also has a Center for Policy and Research that has the requisite expertise, infrastructure, resources and tools to design, market and administer a survey, perform qualitative and quantitative data analyses and, prepare executive reports regarding these important survey findings. AHIP also has extensive experience in assessing preparedness and disaster readiness activities both formally and informally across its membership and in conjunction with other public and private partners. AHIP currently works with representatives from their member health plans, including the Prevention and Population Health Workgroup, to foster collaborative approaches between health plans and public and private stakeholders on issues pertaining to emergency preparedness, immunization and, clinical and community preventive services. This is not a request for competitive quotes. If you believe your firm is able to provide the service required above, please provide the following information: Capabilities statement of how your firm will provide the required data and analysis to meet the needs of the Government as specified above. All responses to this notice must be received by 4pm July 20, 2012.
