About this file

This is a Cost Response attachment for a Request for Response (RFR) issued by Massachusetts Health Connector for culturally and linguistically appropriate services, including readability and usability support. The document serves as the pricing template that bidders must complete to submit cost proposals for a four-year contract with two optional one-year renewal periods. The contract encompasses multiple service categories including translation services (per-word pricing across multiple languages), hourly services (standard and expedited turnaround), accessibility and compliance services, and optional enrollment and premium billing services for small group members with medical and dental coverage. Bidders are required to submit pricing for Years 1-4 of the agreement, with detailed assumptions and constraints clearly documented in their responses.

The pricing structure requires bidders to select from multiple models for ongoing operations, including per-subscriber-per-month (PSPM), per-member-per-month (PMPM), transaction-based pricing, or fixed annual fees. Start-up and transition costs must be itemized with position titles, hourly rates, and estimated hours required. Bidders must provide a detailed cost allocation breakdown across major cost categories including labor, licensing, infrastructure, hosting, operations and maintenance, and other costs. The contract permits a maximum three percent annual rate increase for optional years, indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). A rate card identifying specific positions such as project managers, systems engineers, software engineers, and database administrators with corresponding hourly rates for operations launch and ongoing years is required. All pricing assumptions must remain flat for Years 1-3 of ongoing operations, with proposed pass-through costs clearly identified and explained.

OPTIONAL SERVICE

Enrollment and Premium Billing - Ongoing Operations for Small Group Medical and Dental Members

Instructions:

The price tables below reflect the Bidder's proposed price for optional ongoing services provided to Health Connector small group members with a medical and dental policy during the ongoing operations period, but is not expected to begin prior to July 1, 2022. Bidders are required to enter a price proposal for each operations year (July 1 through June 30).

For ongoing operations, the Bidder shall select one of the three available options below: reimbursement based on a "per subscriber" or "per member" per month (Option 1a or Option 1b); reimbursement based on volume or transaction pricing (Option 2); or reimbursement based on fixed costs (Option 3).

Once a pricing model has been chosen and completed, the Bidder shall complete the "Annualized Cost Breakdown" table, which will provide the Health Connector with a comprehensive view of the Bidder's proposed cost structure and how the chosen pricing model above is allocated across significant cost buckets. For example, if a Bidder identifies $100 in ongoing operations costs in Year 1 (whether the Bidder has chosen Option 1a, 1b, 2 or 3, it is expected that in the "Annualized Cost Breakdown" table that the $100 would be allocated across the major cost items (e.g., labor, licensing, hosting).

The Bidder shall also identify any and all costs that would be passed through to the Health Connector in the "Pass-through Costs" table.

For ongoing operations years 1-3, rates shall remain flat. If option years are awarded to the Contractor by the Health Connector, a maximum rate increase of 3% each year is allowed but will be based on the CPI index.

Will need to define CPI index or whatever we are using to determine COLA.

1-100,000For instance, if we have 101K members and PMPM is $3 for 1-100K and $2 for 100-150K…..
100,001-150,000is the payment $3 for each of the first 100K members and only $2 for those members over 100K or…..
150,001-200,000is it $2 for ALL members now?? I would prefer this option as it quickly results in significant economies of scale.
200,001-250,000
250,001-300,000
Over 300,000
Blended TotalDo we need a table(s) for dental only members? Wouldn't the PMPM or fee be different given that operationally these members require fewer resources? Will nongroup dental be serviced by this vendor? I think so right?
