RECOVERY - Electronic Health Record Payment

This contract modification is exclusively available to Pinnacle Business Solutions, Inc., the incumbent holder of the CMS Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) Maintainer contract, originally awarded in 2006. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to enhance the existing FISS contract to support the implementation of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program mandated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This federal initiative offers incentive payments to Acute Care Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals that demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology. The contract modification will add system capabilities allowing EHR payment information to be transmitted to the designated EHR payment contractor, facilitating the processing of incentive payments. The effort falls under NAICS code 518210 and will be performed in Baltimore, MD. The point of contacts for this contract include Contract Specialist Anginna Sims and Contracting Officer Sharon A Brause, who oversee communications and contract administration. The announcement was made public in April 2010, although it remains a presolicitation notice intended strictly for the incumbent contractor, with no competition open for this particular modification.
