AI Contract Overview

This contract modification pertains to services provided by Highmark Medicare Services under a previously established agreement authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), specifically related to the HITECH Act's incentive payment programs for Medicare hospitals. Its main objective is to allocate funding for the collection and entry of vital data into the HITECH FISS screens for all Subsection (d) Hospitals by March 31, 2011. The data originates from the most recent 12-month cost reports and must be updated by Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) within five business days of acceptance for hospitals that have not yet attested or received initial payments. This ensures timely and accurate processing of incentive payments related to the meaningful use of certified electronic health record technology. Due to uncertainties in contract performance and the difficulty in estimating associated costs precisely, the contract modification was awarded under a cost-reimbursement type instead of a fixed-price model. The effort supports the ongoing management of the HITECH Incentive Payment Program, specifically under the MAC Part A/B-OY3 segment, with activities centered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. The contract specialists and officers managing this effort can be contacted via provided government emails and phone numbers, facilitating communication and oversight for effective administration of the program.

Full Description

RECOVERY: THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. This notice represents the intent to modify services provided by Highmark Medicare Services (HMS) under contract number HHSM-500-2008-M0001Z authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, or Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was signed into law on February 17, 2009. The law includes the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), which established programs to provide incentive payments for the "meaningful use" of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology. Included in these incentive payments (also known as HITECH payments) are payments to Medicare hospitals. The purpose of this modification is to fund the contractor to collect and subsequently enter necessary data into the HITECH FISS screens for all Subsection (d) Hospitals by March 31, 2011. This data shall be obtained from the latest filed 12-month cost report. As later cost reports are accepted during the year, MACs shall update the data in FISS within 5 business days of acceptance of the cost report (for those hospitals that have not yet attested and received their initial payment). This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2).
