OUTPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM (OPPS)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is forecasting a future procurement under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS), which governs reimbursement for outpatient services provided by hospitals and other healthcare facilities under Medicare. This initiative is tied to NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services that may support system design, payment methodology refinement, data analysis, or regulatory compliance functions essential to the OPPS framework. The forecast is not a solicitation but a notice of anticipated future activity to allow industry participants to prepare for potential opportunities. Ausha Washington serves as the Program Point of Contact for operational and technical inquiries, while Dawn Wilkins is designated as the Contracting Officer responsible for procurement processes. The contract will likely involve analytical, advisory, or technical services to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and integrity of outpatient payment structures under Medicare. Although no specific solicitation number, set-aside status, or physical performance location is provided, all work is expected to support federal healthcare payment policy at the national level, with communications and deliverables managed remotely through CMS channels. Interested parties should monitor the OSDBU portal for official solicitations once formally released.
