The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded a $2.5 billion Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract known as the Unified Program Integrity Contract (UPIC) to the non-profit organization Qlarant Integrity Solutions LLC. Under this multiple-award IDIQ, Qlarant has been issued several delivery orders, including a $216.2 million task order for the Investigations Medicare Drug Integrity Contractor (Investigations MEDIC) and a $221.7 million cost-plus-award-fee contract for the UPIC South-Western Jurisdiction. These contracts task Qlarant with conducting proactive data analysis on Medicare Parts C and D to identify program vulnerabilities related to drug trends, outlier prescribers, and high-risk pharmacies in order to detect fraud. Qlarant Integrity Solutions LLC is a subsidiary of the non-profit Qlarant Inc., which has a history of prime and subcontract awards supporting federal health agencies.
The UPIC IDIQ and associated task orders are intended to provide CMS with comprehensive program integrity services across Medicare and Medicaid to prevent, detect, and combat fraud, waste, and abuse. The work is performed primarily in Easton, Maryland. These contracts leverage Qlarant's expertise in quality improvement, high reliability, program integrity, and healthcare technology solutions to support CMS's mission of ensuring the integrity of federal healthcare programs.
