Open Enrollment Hospital Services

Paragraph 1:

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is conducting an ongoing Open Enrollment for Hospital Services (HS) to be provided to Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) customers served by the TWC VR Division. The solicitation is open to all areas of the state, offering opportunities to provide inpatient, outpatient, implantable device, medical record, and robotic surgery services. Qualified applicants must meet licensing, credentialing, and accreditation requirements. Compensation will be based on the lesser of an agreed upon flat percentage rate of fair billing, a negotiated lower rate, or a defined rate in the solicitation. The open enrollment period began on May 25, 2021 and will remain open until August 30, 2024 at 3:00 pm CT, with TWC intending to award contracts to qualified applicants throughout this period. Participation in a post-award orientation will be required before services can commence.

Paragraph 2:

The solicitation does not specify any set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The documents do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The solicitation is for an open enrollment opportunity, so there is no defined award value or budget range provided. However, the compensation structure indicates that TWC will pay the lesser of an agreed upon rate or the rate defined in the solicitation, which includes specific requirements for implantable devices and robotic surgery. Interested providers across the state of Texas, including in Travis County and the City of Austin, are encouraged to submit their qualifications for consideration during the open enrollment period.
