ADDENDUM # 1 TO PROPOSAL INVITATION #NHDOC 2025-09

DATE OF RFP OPENING: February 25, 2025

TIME OF RFP OPENING: 2:00 PM

Date of Addendum: February 13, 2025

FOR: Inpatient and Outpatient Hospital Medical Services

Question 1: If there is a state statute, Chapter 623-C, can you explain why the RFP in 3.3.2 requires the “vendor shall provide written confirmation the affiliated facilities will accept the contracted rate or will be reimbursed under the provisions of RSA 623-c:2?”

Answer 1: This is to ensure that any affiliated facilities not specified in the response or if there are acquisitions or expansions of a facility’s services, that it will be subject to the contracted rates.

It is possible that contracted rates will be less than the allowable rate but will not be more than specified in 623-C.

Question 2: In 3.3.3 the RFP requires the “vendor shall provide a complete list of all services, procedures provided by the affiliated facilities not covered under the contracted reimbursement rate.” The questions are

a. If statute 623-C provides a legislated rate for services, why would some services not be covered?

b. Can you provide a list of recent non-covered services?

Answer 2: Unlisted CPT codes not on Medicare Fee Schedule. NHDOC does not have a list of recent non-covered services.

Question 3: Will EOPs for all claims, including Medicaid, be paid by NHDOC or is the vendor to make payment for any claims after NHDOC funds an account?

Answer 3: NHDOC makes direct payment for claims based on Medicare Fee Schedule on behalf of

NHDOC. Medicaid services are paid to the facility directly by State of NH Medicaid..

Question 4: Section 3.2 Please explain why “NHDOC requests vendor to comment on the competitiveness of the discount provided as it relates to the amended RSA 623-C-2, “ if there are legislated rates for claims to be paid at 110% (inpatient, outpatient, ER) and 125% of Medicare (health care providers?)

Answer 4: The law states that services will be reimbursed at “…no more than 110 percent…”. This is an opportunity for a respondent to emphasize their discounted rate.

Question 5: Are CMS and NCCI claim edits allowed in the adjudication process?

Answer 5: Not Applicable

Question 6: On Page 10 it states that proposals may be submitted by email (1.2), however it still outlines hard copy requirements below in 2.1. If a proposal is submitted electronically by email, do any of the hard copy requirements still apply?

Answer 6: No hard copy/original is required for this submission. The guidelines are noted if you should choose to submit hard copy. NHDOC will accept all electronic submissions.
