This is a staffing list appendix for the External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) Request for Proposals issued by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Program Quality and Integrity. The document provides a template for vendors to submit detailed staffing information for personnel assigned to deliver EQRO services for three Medicaid Managed Care Organizations and one Dental Organization throughout New Hampshire. The staffing list requires vendors to identify position titles, work locations, hiring status, proposed candidate names, estimated start dates, and full-time equivalent (FTE) hours dedicated to the program for each staff member. The template includes salary and fringe benefit cost projections across the contract term, with an example showing a Program Specialist position at Manchester District Office with an estimated start date of September 1, 2024, at 1.0 FTE with initial annual compensation of $150,000 in salary and $37,500 in fringe benefits. The RFP establishes a contract performance period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with possible renewal extensions of up to four additional years, with proposals due March 13, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.

The staffing list appendix requires vendors to provide comprehensive personnel cost documentation including salary and fringe benefit escalations throughout the contract period to support their technical and cost proposals. Vendors must demonstrate they have adequate staffing to meet EQRO qualification requirements under 42 CFR 438.354, including maintaining a dedicated contract manager at minimum 0.50 FTE for MCO services and 0.20 FTE for dental services. The staffing information submitted will be evaluated as part of the overall technical proposal, which uses a 1,000-point scoring methodology with vendors required to achieve a minimum of 500 points to have their cost proposals opened. Funding for the contract derives from Federal, General, and Other funds under Assistance Listing Number 93.778 (Medicaid), contingent upon Governor and Executive Council approval and continued legislative appropriation. No incumbent vendor is identified, and the state anticipates awarding one contract for these services.
