About this file
This document contains an amendment to a previous combined solicitation for a Health Information Coding, Billing and Auditing (HICBA) Encoder software solution and support from the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center. The amendment provides answers to questions from offerors to assist in preparing proposals for solicitation number 36C10B21R0003, with responses due by December 1, 2020 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The encoder software solution must interface with the HICBA VIRR solution and enable the system to meet VERA reimbursement requirements, though VERA rules do not need to reside in the encoder product itself. The amendment clarifies that the encoder solution must identify dependencies on and integrate with the HICBA VIRR software solution for VistA interfacing to meet all requirements.

| PWS 5.2.2 |
| In PWS, Section 5.2.2., Encoder Requirements, Item f, states a requirement of “System shall contain VERA patient classification rules for inpatient PTF coding and shall be maintained/updated. Software shall suggest code sequencing to optimize VERA reimbursement and provide a history and reporting output of VERA edits usage, both accepted and bypassed.” Is VA’s intention to have the VERA rules reside in and be part of the Encoder? Or is VA wanting the Encoder to be compatible with the VIRR solution and VERA edits/rules would be inside the VIRR software? |
| VA’s requirement is for the Encoder solution to provide encoder functionality to enable the overall HICBA system to meet VERA requirements. VA does not require that VERA rules reside in/be part of the Encoder product. See paragraph 5.2. “The encoder software solution shall interface with the HICBA VIRR solution and is critical for operations and timely exchange of patient data” and paragraph 5.2.2. “Requirements involve dependencies on HICBA VIRR software solution for VistA interfacing. Contractor shall identify specific dependencies and any gaps, and work with the VIRR solution Contractor to provide functionalities to meet all requirements.” – This is one of those dependencies. |
