Description

The Roseburg VA Healthcare System anticipates to contract for Level 3 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Services, with access to Specialists, for eligible Veteran patients requiring inpatient treatment in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) when referred, authorized, and/or transferred by the VARHCS. It is expected that ICU services will be sourced from within 75 miles of the Roseburg VA Healthcare System. The contractor shall provide inpatient intensive care unit (ICU) health care services to authorized patients for the full episodes of ICU care. The contractor will be paid/reimbursed for inpatient services under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved DRGs based prospective payment system that encompass ICD-9-CM classifications (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modifications). Medicare payments for inpatient health care services will be under the prospective payment system (PPS). The DRG rate includes the cost of all non-physician hospital inpatient services, i.e. bed and board, nursing services, use of hospital facilities as referenced in 42 CFR 409.10 and CT scans, hemodialysis, prosthetic items, pacemakers, laboratory and X-ray services, etc., including those which the hospital must purchase from another facility. Associated ancillary claims will be processed and paid based on current CFR payment methodology. No separate billing or payment should be made for these services. Inclusion or exclusion of services will be determined by Medicare PPS rules and regulations as published by CMS. Contractor is expected to meet or exceed a level of ICU nurse staffing such that a minimum of one ICU competent nurse per three Veteran patients is met at all times. Staffing ratio and competencies will be subject to review by VARHCS Nurse Executive or delegate. Requirement of ancillary services (Respiratory Therapy; Laboratory; Imaging services): Ventilated patients are expected to have competent, certified Respiratory Therapy services consistent with the community standard of care. All Respiratory Therapy services are subject to standard quality assurance activities as within the VA. Laboratory, Diagnostic and Imaging services are required to be readily available for critical decision making for the contract staff, open to review by VA staff and meeting or exceeding standards for timeliness and accuracy. All Laboratory, Diagnostic and Imaging services are subject to standard quality assurance activities as within the VA. Offers from prospective contractors must accept CMS reimbursement as the base form of payment. Therefore, all offers must be presented in the form of a percentage discount of the CMS rate. The admissions identified in the CLINs below are estimated workload projections. Veteran patients who receive care at the VARHCS sometimes have clinically complex conditions that exceed the ability of the VARHCS to deliver care commensurate with the needs of the patient. At the present time, the VARHCS does not have an ICU, but has an average of one patient per day in ICU level treatment. VARHCS requires that Department of Veterans Affairs physicians coordinate transfers of eligible Veterans into and out of the contracted facility.
