Cancer Billing and Coding Training

The District of Columbia Department of Health (DOH), specifically the DC Cancer Registry (DCCR), is seeking two expert consultants to provide specialized technical expertise in cancer registry operations. This procurement aims to obtain professional services focused on registration and processing of cancer-related data and reports. The contracted experts will be responsible for delivering comprehensive technical support in cancer billing and coding training, with a specific emphasis on improving cancer registry operational capabilities. The solicitation was posted on July 9, 2012, with proposals due by July 13, 2012, indicating a very short response window of approximately four days. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement suggests a requirement for advanced subject matter expertise in cancer registry processes, coding, and billing procedures. The consultants are expected to bring high-level technical knowledge and specialized skills to enhance the DCCR's operational effectiveness.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. The documentation also does not outline a specific award value or budget range for these consulting services. Given the specialized nature of the required expertise—cancer registry operations, billing, and coding—the procurement likely requires consultants with advanced professional credentials, potentially including healthcare informatics certifications, cancer registry management experience, or related advanced degrees. The short duration between posting and proposal due dates suggests an urgent need for these specialized consulting services to support the DC Cancer Registry's operational objectives.
