6-Attachment C - Cost.xlsx

This is a cost attachment for a Request for Quotation issued by the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the Detroit Health Department for Third Party Medical Billing & Coding Services. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide medical billing and coding services for a two-year contract period with one optional year. The cost structure includes five line items covering firm fixed price for medical billing and coding services (minimum), percentage of collections, process analysis and training (capped at 10 hours monthly without city approval), credentialing services, and postage reimbursement. All services are quoted on a monthly or hourly basis, with identical line item structures across Year 1, Year 2, and the Option Year.

The pricing model employs a unique payment mechanism whereby the City will invoice the selected vendor using whichever line item yields the greater amount—either the firm fixed price (Line Item 1) or the percentage of collections (Line Item 2)—but not both. This approach applies consistently across all three contract periods. Hourly rates for process analysis and training, as well as credentialing services, are subject to negotiation, while postage reimbursement in the option year is reimbursed at actual costs. The cost attachment does not specify dollar amounts, indicating that pricing details were to be provided by bidders in their proposals to the City of Detroit.
