Description

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) is conducting a market survey of information technology-based products that could potentially be used to reduce fraud, waste and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. HCFA is specifically soliciting information on products that fall into the following categories: (1) Health care fraud, waste, and abuse detection and analysis solutions; (2) Comprehensive health care data analysis solutions; (3) Fraud, waste, and abuse solutions currently used in other industries; (4) Solutions that address the core technical requirements of HCFA's current approach to combating fraud, waste and abuse (e.g., efficient storage, retrieval and manipulation of large data sets; enterprise reporting; complex statistical analysis; etc.); and (5) Solutions that may dictate entirely alternative or complementary approaches to Medicare or Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse detection and analysis. The intent of this market survey is to collect fraud, waste and abuse detection product information in an effort to stimulate collaborative discussions in support of future HCFA and HCFA-sponsored initiatives, and as a method to monitor emerging technologies and solutions that may benefit HCFA's efforts. Universities, other Government agencies, foundations, associations, and other non-traditional vendor organizations that possess products or technologies with potential application in this area are encouraged to participate in the survey. No corporate proprietary or otherwise sensitive information should be submitted as all information collected will be subject to public release. HCFA will only accept information on products. Information on service offerings will not be considered, however, product information regarding software or other technology products available from vendors only through a service bureau model is acceptable. Product information or corporate materials in excess of the survey response will not be accepted at this time. Respondents will, however, be asked to provide their web site address and other contact information as part of their survey response, and respondents may be contacted by HCFA or its agents for further information. This market survey does not constitute a commitment by HCFA to initiate an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Proposal (RFP), or a Request for Quote (RFQ). The survey instrument, accompanying background information and instructions for responding may be accessed at www.hcfa.gov/projects/fwads/itsurvey/webintro.asp. Additional information may be obtained by calling the market survey's Customer Support Help Line at (800) 530-5104.
