2.1 Contract Pricing/Sub-Contract Certification

Blocks 19 through 24 - Contract Pricing/Sub-Contract Certification

Overview

Services are required to be provided in accordance with the Performance of Work Statement included in this solicitation/contract. Of-ferors are required to submit, as a part of their business proposal, a completed copy of Schedule of Items/Sub-Contract Certification.

Pricing Methodology

Except for services based on session rates, price proposals will be calculated from benchmarks utilizing Medicare reimbursement methodologies. For each category of service to be provided, offerors will be allowed to propose a variance from benchmark Medicare rate in the form of a discount from or a premium to Medicare rates established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The rates established in the resulting contract shall not be construed as participation in the Medicare program; contract rates will merely be equated to Medicare rates of reimbursement without reductions for deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. When appro-priate, outlier payments calculated in accordance with Medicare reimbursement methodologies shall be made in recognition of extremely costly stays. The outlier payment shall be calculated based upon the defined benchmark and will consist of the operating portion only. This structuring of the pricing methodology is not intended to be restrictive of any offeror; offerors need only to propose that percentage discount from the premium to the Medicare benchmark rate which will reflict the desired level of payment for the cat-egory of services rendered. If during contract performance, it is determined that a necessary contract deliverable is not covered by Medicare reimbursement methodologies, a separate rate shall be negotiated for such deliverable(s).

Medicare Part A. The Medicare benchmark to be utilized for all services covered by Medicare Part A shall be the most current Basic MS-DRG payment (i.e., Operating Federal Rate) established for Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) 14860, Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, CT. The Basic MS-DRG calculation shall not include any provider-specific adjustments al-lowed under actual Medicare participation. Offerors may propose a discount from or a premium to Basic MS-DRG rates. (Refer to At-tachment 1 of this solicitation.)

Medicare Part B Physician Services and Non-Physician Services. The Medicare benchmark to be utilized for all physician and non-physician services covered by Medicare Part B shall be those rates established in the most current Medicare Part B Fee Schedule for Payment Locality 0, Connecticut. The benchmark charges shall be those established for participating providers. Offerors may pro-pose a discount from or a premium to the benchmark charges.

Medicare Part B Facility Services (including hospital outpatient services and ambulatory surgical centers). The Medicare benchmark to be utilized for all facility services covered by Medicare Part B shall be the most current APC and ASC rates calculated for CBSA 14860, Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, CT . Offerors may propose a discount from or a premium to the benchmark charges.

Clinical Laboratory Services. The benchmark rate to be utilized for clinical lab tests covered by Medicare Part B shall be those rates established in the most current Medicare Part B Fee Schedule for the State of Connecticut. Offerors may propose a discount from or a premium to the Medicare rate. Contract billings shall include the applicable Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code or HFCA Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code for bill verification processing. See Laboratory Testing, in the section below, for the yearly estimates of the most common tests.

2.2 Performance Work Statement

I. Background

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) was established in 1930 to provide more progressive and humane care for Federal inmates, to professionalize the prison service, and to ensure consistent and centralized administration. Today, the BOP is responsible for the cus-tody and care of approximately 195,000 Federal offenders. The Federal prison system is a nationwide system of prisons and detention facilities for the incarceration of inmates who have been sentenced to imprisonment for Federal crimes and the detention of individu-als awaiting trial in Federal court. It is the mission of the Federal BOP to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled en-vironments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens.

As an agency under the Executive Branch of the United States Government, the BOP receives an annual appropriation of funds to ac-complish its assigned mission. The public trust demands that this annual appropriation be prudently managed. Thus, dollars spent to maintain the health of the inmate population must reflect the agency's best efforts to obtain cost-effective health care consistent with community standards.

In meeting the health care needs of a growing inmate population, the BOP provides essential medical, dental, and mental health ser-vices to Federal inmates by BOP staff. When a medical need arises which cannot be provided within prison walls by BOP staff, refer-rals are then made to community-based providers. It is the goal of this solicitation to establish contractual agreement that will provide necessary professional and facility services for both inpatient admissions and outpatient encounters.

The BOP intends to make a single award to a responsible entity for the provision of Comprehensive Medical Services for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) located in Danbury, Connecticut. The FCI currently houses female and male inmates. The FCI is presently designated as a Care Level II BOP facility. Care Level II is an intermediate classification on the four-level scale where Care Level I represents the healthiest inmates and Care Level IV represents inmates with serious health issues. Criteria for categorizing an inmate in the Care Level II category is included in Attachment II. Despite this description of the general health of the inmate popula-tion, however, needs for inmate healthcare may arise at varying levels of complexity.

In evaluating offers, the Government will evaluate the proximity of the proposed community based-providers, in addition to the factors, and give preference to those providers located nearest the FCI. Although a mileage restriction has not been placed on this ac-quisition, the Government reserves the right to determine that the proposed driving distances/conditions to community-based providers pose an unacceptable cost or security risk and to find such offers unacceptable.

II. Organizational Conflict of Interest

The objective of this solicitation is to satisfy the BOP's requirement for the provision of health care to the inmates of the FCI. A poten-tial organizational conflict of interest may arise if the awardee is an entity which also holds or participates in a separate contract/ agreement with the BOP as a medical claim adjudicator. A possible conflict of interest may exist if the awardee has dual responsibilit-ies for the submission of medical claims for services rendered under the resulting contract and for the adjudication of those medical claims under a separate contract/agreement with the BOP.

Offers received from any firm which holds or participates in a separate contract/agreement for BOP medical claims adjudication ser-vices must address any potential organizational conflict of interest that may arise and must provide a detailed explanation of how such conflicts will be avoided. Offers received from any firm which holds or participates in a separate contract/agreement for BOP medical claims adjudication services which fail to adequately address/resolve potential conflicts of interest will be rejected without further consideration. This limitation on the eligibility of offerors has been imposed as authorized by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.506, Procedures.

III. Statement of Output

Within this Performance Work Statement (PWS), necessary services are described in terms of output rather than specific task assign-ments. The BOP desires to make an award to the offeror who can provide the best value, considering the diversity of available services and price, among other criteria specified in Section 5.2. Therefore, the Government may award any or all line items, may withold award of any or all line items, or may award to an offeror who proposes less than the full complement of services contained in this so-

RFPP02031600003/0001 Page 9 of 54 licitation. Accordingly, output items 1 and 2 are optional deliverables while output items 3, 4, and 5 are applicable to all services provided. Offerors are encouraged to submit comprehensive proposals committing to provide all output listed in the solicitation. Of-ferors who propose less comprehensive approaches will be evaluated accordingly.

Output #1: Provide inpatient and outpatient facility services which conform to community standards and all local, state, and Federal laws and regulations applicable to the delivery of health care to members of the general public. (Cross-referencing pricing cat-egories 1a and 1b.)

Output #2: Provide professional services which conform to community standards and all local, state, and Federal laws and reg-ulations applicable to the delivery of health care to members of the general public. (Cross-reference pricing categories 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2c1.)

Output #3: Submit properly-priced invoices for services rendered.

Output #4: Manage medical record information in a manner which promotes continuity of care while observing restrictions on the release of information.

Output #5: Maintain open avenues of communication, facilitating the exchange of information between the contract provider, contract facility, and the Government regarding the contract services.

IV. Compliance with Contract Requirements

The Contractor's efforts under this contract shall be monitored to ensure that the required output is achieved.

V. Specific Requirements

Output #1: Provide inpatient and outpatient facility services which conform to community standards and all local, state, and Federal laws and regulations applicable to the delivery of health care to members of the general public.

Output #1 is an optional deliverable. However, if the offeror proposes to provide these services, the following minimum requirements apply. Throughout the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall not utilize any provider that appears on the List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services.

If proposed, the Contractor shall provide facility services on an as-needed basis in a manner which adheres to community standards of quality and cost-effective medical care. The services required to satisfy Output #1 may include inpatient facility and outpatient facil-ity, including emergency room services. Inpatient visits for non-emergency services shall require private room accommodations with available space for up to three armed or unarmed guards per inmate.

It is the FCI's preference to obtain the services of facilities that are accredited by the Joint Commission. Offerors utilizing facilities which maintain accreditation by the Joint Commission shall submit a copy of the current accreditation certificate as part of the offer-or's technical proposal. If an offeror intends to utilize a facility which is accredited or certified by any other recognized professional accrediting body, the offeror shall submit documentation validating this accreditation or certification as a part of its proposal.

The contractor may perform comprehensive laboratory services for lab testing not currently performed under an existing laboratory contract. If proposed, the contractor will provide all laboratory testing required by the FCI including but not limited to the tests in-cluded in the section titled "Laboratory Testing" in Section 2.1. The contractor will establish a means of transportation for lab samples on an as needed basis, including weekend and holidays.

With the exception of laboratory tests requested on an emergency basis, all lab test specimen pick-ups wil be scheduled at least 12 hours in advance. The contractor will ensure timely reporting of all laboratory test res-ults, normally within 180 minutes for stat tests and within two (2) working days for all other test results. Panic lab values will be re-layed to the appropriate medical staff within a timely manner. The contractor will provide a typed and dated report within ten (10) days of the test(s) being performed. All laboratory services will be conducted in accordance with BOP policies, and confidentiality of test results must be maintained.

Throughout the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall not utilize any provider that appears on the List of Ex-cluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Community-Based Services

Professional services resulting from a BOP referral are necessary to be performed in a community-based setting (e.g., hospital facility, surgical center, physician's office, etc.). If proposed, the Contractor shall provide the services of professional medical staff who have appropriate educational qualification, experience, licensure, and board certification (where required) to achieve Output #2. This output specifically excludes the provision of radiological interpretations of BOP-provided films, images, or other media.

If requested by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall be required to document primary source verification of the credentials for each provider including: current license from appropriate State Board of Medical Examiners, education from professional schools or universities, evidence of completion of interships and/or residences as appropriate.

If the resulting con-tract does not provide for telemedicine consultation or all of the on-site clinics listed, the FCI reserves the right to pursue such con-tracts. The FCI also reserves the right to determine the manner of an inmate's referral, i.e., via on-site clinic, via community-based re-ferral, via telemedicine consult, or any other method the FCI determines to be reasonable and approrpriate.

Contract services shall be provided on-site within the Health Services Unit of the FCI. Consultations shall be limited to the chief complaint on the BOP consultation form. Services shall include diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions with appropriate referral, if necessary, to a specialist at the contract medical facility. Scheduling of clinics shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the FCI and the contract provider. Scheduling of inmates for on-site clinics shall be performed by the FCI.

Providers performing institution-based services shall be licensed to practice medicine in the State of Connecticut. Providers perform-ing these services shall apply for clinical privileges at the FCI.

However, certain circumstances beyond the control of the FCI (e.g., fog or other Acts of God, institution disturbances, etc.) may dictate the cancellation of a scheduled visit with less than 48 hours written or verbal notice. In the event it becomes necessary for the contract provider to cancel a scheduled visit, the Contractor may provide quali-fied replacement professional staff or may reschedule a mutually agreed upon replacement session. Prior to utilizing replacement staff, the Contractor must obtain preliminary clearance from the Contracting Officer or COR, in accordance with the security and priv-
