IDOC - Medicaid Enrollment Services - JTW

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking quotes for statewide Medicaid Enrollment and Consultation Services. The selected vendor will be responsible for collecting required information and documentation from inmates, such as name, social security number, date of birth, address, family/household information, government ID, and financial documentation, and submitting the completed application and documentation via mail, in-person, fax, or online. The vendor will have post-submission responsibilities, including ensuring inmates receive their recipient identification number and assisting with transitioning coverage from incarcerated to community status. Vendors will need to be on-site 1-2 days per week at each IDOC facility to provide these services, which are expected to handle 15,000-20,000 applications per year across all IDOC facilities. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 26, 2021 at 1:30pm CST, and bids are due no later than February 5, 2021 at 10:00am CST. Only electronic submissions will be accepted for this opportunity.

Minority Owned, Women Owned, Persons with Disabilities Owned, and Veteran Owned Small Business set-asides may apply for this small purchase contract. The current contract value or budget range is not specified. The contract term is 3 years, with no renewal options provided. While the current process for inmates requiring hospital care, where Medicaid is processed through the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services in Springfield, will remain the same, the selected vendor will eventually take over the processing of paper-based and computer-based Medicaid applications in the IDOC's resource rooms.
