The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Bland & Associates PC, a for-profit subchapter S corporation and accounting/consulting firm based in Omaha, Nebraska. This BPA contract vehicle allows CMS to efficiently procure essential audit and oversight services from Bland & Associates, which has developed expertise in healthcare financial auditing and medical coding reviews.
Under this BPA, Bland & Associates PC will perform one-third financial audits, cost report audits, and medical coding reviews for Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) and Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs). The firm has already received over $3.8 million in task orders under this vehicle. Bland & Associates PC also holds two other active BPAs with CMS and the Health Resources and Services Administration, valued at $13 million and $5 million respectively, for audit and compliance review services. These contracts support CMS's mandatory audits and oversight of healthcare programs administered by the agency.
