About this file

This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) draft for Revenue Cycle Modernization & Innovation (RCMI) and Charge Description Master (CDM) Support Services to be provided to the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Resources & Personnel Integration (R&PI), J-8 Financial Operations. The PWS outlines administrative and technical execution services, along with technical expertise, required to support revenue cycle management activities including CDM optimization, enhancement, and operations. The services are intended to support the DHA Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation—specifically Military Health System (MHS) GENESIS—and its itemized billing solution, RevX. The underlying pre-solicitation notice (RFI) indicates that DHA J-8 seeks to address critical challenges within its revenue cycle management framework, including revenue leakage and inefficiencies, compliance and regulatory risks, data accuracy and integration issues, patient experience improvements, resource utilization optimization, financial transparency, and clean audit capability.

The contract is anticipated to be a non-personal services engagement with the federal agency being the Department of Defense through the Defense Health Agency. While the RFI itself explicitly states that no contract will be awarded pursuant to the announcement and that responses will not be accepted to form a binding contract, it serves as an information-gathering mechanism for a potential future Request for Proposals (RFP). No specific response dates, award dates, pricing terms, or set-asides are indicated in the available documentation at this pre-solicitation stage. The document is identified as a draft version, indicating that final requirements and specifications for the subsequent RFP remain under development.

Department of War Defense Health Agency Performance Work Statement

Revenue Cycle Modernization & Innovation (RCMI) and Charge Description Master (CDM) Support

Resources & Personnel Integration (R&PI) J-8 Financial Operations

Solicitation Number: HT9427-27-R-EXXX Version: 2 Date: 20 OCTOBER 2026

PART 1

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 This is a non-personal services task order to provide administrative and technical execution services to the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Resources & Personnel Integration (R&PI), J-8 Financial Operations. This task order will also provide technical expertise for the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) activities, to include Charge Description Master (CDM) optimization, enhancement, and operations, to support the DHA Electronic Health Record (EHR), Military Health System (MHS) GENESIS, and its itemized billing solution, RevX.

1.2 Description of services/introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the administrative and technical execution services to the DHA R&PI, J-8 Financial Operations, as well as technical expertise for the RCM activities required to support the DHA EHR MHS GENESIS, and its itemized billing solution, RevX, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS.

The contractor shall provide technical expertise to maintain and enhance the existing CDM. The contractor is responsible for updating associated charge tables based on geographic location, hospital vs. clinic, and patient category. They also coordinate with DHA Charge Services Solution Owner and Cerner/Oracle Health (the contractor that deployed the full MHS GENESIS EHR platform) to ensure proper integration with the Cerner Charge Services Pricing Tool (Charge Services Servers). Additionally, the contractor provides overall Program Management Support for ongoing CDM operations.

The RCMI initiative is a mission-critical effort that directly supports the DHA Director's Lines of Effort and the MHS Optimization Domains for FY27-31. The optimization of the MHS GENESIS platform, the RevX itemized billing solution, and the CDM are essential to meeting strict Health Affairs Financial Management requirements and the Secretary of War's data requirements.

To ensure uninterrupted alignment with these strategic mandates, the contractor is required to operate in tight alignment with directives and changes coming from the Department of War (DoW), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and Oracle Health. This requires proactive participation in annual strategic offsites, as well as localized, over-the-shoulder configuration management and issue resolution at Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and Oracle Health headquarters. Furthermore, the contractor shall leverage advanced technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), to modernize legacy workflows, ensure financial compliance, and maximize revenue and workload capture across the enterprise.

1.3 Background: The DHA J-8 recognizes the need to enhance its RCM processes to ensure the efficient and effective management of healthcare finances within the MHS. Using the MHS GENESIS EHR as a catalyst, J-8 seeks to address several critical challenges within its RCM framework: Revenue Leakage and Inefficiencies, Compliance and Regulatory Risks, Data Accuracy and Integration, Patient Experience, Resource Utilization, Financial Transparency, Clean Audit Capability, and Technology and Innovation. In response to these challenges, DHA J-8 aims to improve the RCM Initiative to transform its RCM processes and acquire technical expertise to maintain and enhance the existing CDM. The goal is to enhance workload capture, financial performance, compliance, patient satisfaction, and resource utilization while ensuring transparency and embracing innovative technologies within the MHS.

Industry practice is to document, and bill patient encounters based on an itemized list of charges. To ensure documented care in MHS GENESIS results in an all-inclusive itemized bill within RevX, numerous actions must occur throughout the revenue cycle process (assignment of Patient Identification Process (PIP), provider documentation, medical record coding, and patient billing). Administration staff must ensure the PIP providers completely document and select the proper orderable description of care provided. Medical coders must properly code the care provided. Finally, Uniform Business Office (UBO) staff must properly generate a bill on established separate billing forms for professional charges and institutional charges.

The DHA supports and provides medical care for the DoW 9.4 million eligible beneficiaries through the $52 billion Defense Health Program (DHP), which includes contracted healthcare networks and MTFs. The deployment of MHS GENESIS is complete and currently in a transition phase. While this major technology transformation has provided a significant set of enhanced revenue cycle and business management capabilities for the MHS, they have also brought new requirements to align with industry-leading practices and underscored underlying issues in the legacy environment. For the Government to fully realize the benefits of MHS GENESIS revenue cycle capabilities, these cross-functional challenges require an integrated approach to resolve.

The Government will direct the actual implementation and detailed tasks for the RCM Activity as the MHS lacks knowledgeable in-house staffing to execute these specific operations. Specific assistance is required to support the DHA Financial Operations, J-8 with capabilities for optimization of revenue cycle efforts to prioritize improvement opportunities, begin reducing work queue backlog in MHS GENESIS, increase clinical workload capture, increase total billed for Third Party Collections (TPC), identify and correct areas where revenue leakage may be occurring, improve enterprise knowledge of workload and revenue capture, and enhance MTF staffs' ability to manage their business and be audit-ready.

1.4 Objectives: The DHA J-8 Financial Operations, has an opportunity to operationalize MHS GENESIS capabilities through establishment of the RCMI initiative. The range of services required span from key technical subject matter expertise with Cerner/Oracle experience, data software developers, data analysis, business process and workflow support, business support personnel, training, and risk mitigation specialist addressing issues associated with effective utilization of full MHS GENESIS capabilities, current configuration, reconfiguration requirements, and supporting data output with current and new reporting requirements.

1.5 Scope: The Contractor shall provide labor, training, supervision, program management, technical expertise, and administrative support, to include oversight and strategic planning service support to satisfy the overall operational objectives. Services to be performed are detailed in Part 5 “Specific Tasks”.

1.6 Period of Performance (PoP): The PoP shall be for one (1) 12-month Base Period, three (3) 12-month option periods.
