Overview

Services are required to be provided in accordance with the Performance Work Statement included in this solicitation/contract. Offerors are required to submit, as a part of their business proposal, a completed copy of the Schedule of Items and Subcontract Certification.

Pricing Methodology

Except for services based on session rate, price proposals will be calculated from benchmarks utilizing Medicare reimbursement methodologies. For each category of service to be provided, Offerors will be allowed to propose a variance from the benchmark Medicare rate in the form of a discount from or a premium to Medicare rates established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The rates established in the resulting contract shall not be construed as participation in the Medicare program; contract rates will merely be equated to Medicare rates of reimbursement without reductions for deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. When appropriate, outlier payments calculated in accordance with Medicare reimbursement methodologies shall be made in recognition of extremely costly stays. The outlier payment shall be calculated based upon the defined benchmark and will consist of the operating portion only. This structuring of the pricing methodology is not intended to be restrictive of any offeror;

offerors need only to propose that percentage discount from or premium to the Medicare benchmark rate which will reflect the desired level of payment for the category of services rendered. If during contract performance, it is determined that a necessary contract deliverable is not covered by Medicare reimbursement methodologies, a separate rate shall be negotiated for such deliverable(s).

Medicare Part A. The Medicare benchmark to be utilized for all services covered by Medicare Part A shall be the most current Basic MS-DRG Payment (i.e., Operating Federal Rate) established for Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) 12260– Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC (SC, 42). The Basic MS-DRG calculation shall not include any provider-specific adjustments allowed under actual Medicare participation. Offerors may propose a discount from or a premium to Basic MS-DRG rates. (Refer to Attachment 5 of this solicitation)

Medicare Part B Physician Services and Non-physician Services. The Medicare benchmark to be utilized for all physician and non-physician services covered by Medicare Part B shall be those rates established in the most current Medicare Part B Fee Schedule for Payment Locality 01, South Carolina, State, all counties. The benchmark charges shall be those established for participating providers. Offerors may propose a discount from or a premium to the benchmark charges.

Medicare Part B Facility Services (including hospital outpatient services and ambulatory surgical centers). The Medicare benchmark to be utilized for all facility services covered by Medicare Part B shall be the most current APC and ASC rates calculated for CBSA – 12260– Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC (SC, 42). Offerors may propose a discount from or a premium to the benchmark charges.
