Inpatient Pre-Bill AI Review Solution

The University of Connecticut Health Center is seeking proposals for an AI-powered Inpatient Pre-Bill Review Solution designed to integrate with Epic (February 2026 version). The primary objective is to implement a system capable of reviewing 100% of patient charts to identify documentation gaps and missed reimbursement opportunities, with a specific focus on inpatient needs, mortality, and quality metrics such as PSI and HAC monitoring. The project is based on an annual volume of 13,943 inpatient admissions. The anticipated contract term is five years, running from January 2027 through December 2031, with options for renewal. Proposals are due by October 13, 2026, and will be evaluated by a selection committee based on organizational capability, staffing, cost, and technical scope. The award will be granted to a single supplier. Pricing must be detailed across implementation fees, subscription costs, contingency fees, and per-chart fees. The successful contractor must comply with stringent healthcare and state regulations, including HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Federal False Claims Act, the Stark Law, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, the contractor is required to maintain general liability insurance and adhere to Connecticut state prompt payment and non-discrimination laws.
