RFP for Health Insurance Information and Verification Software

Integral Care, a community behavioral health and developmental disability services center located in Travis County, Texas, is seeking proposals for health insurance information and verification software through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The software must automatically compare and update client health insurance information within their electronic health record (EHR) system by interfacing with insurance provider portals, identifying discrepancies, and synchronizing accurate data. Key technical requirements include integration with Microsoft Office365 and NetSmart's myAvatar EHR system, single sign-on through Microsoft Active Directory, and full HIPAA compliance. The evaluation will utilize a 118-point scoring system covering technical specifications (27 points), integration/usability (24 points), software features (18 points), general information (14 points), security (15 points), and pricing (10 points). Proposals are due March 27, 2025, at 5:00 PM CST, with vendor questions accepted until March 14, 2025. The anticipated contract term is three years with two potential one-year renewal options, expected to commence around May 1, 2025.

The RFP includes provisions for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), offering up to 10 additional points for qualifying vendors. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including worker's compensation, employer liability ($1 million per accident/disease), and cyber liability. Implementation requirements mandate dedicated training and support during initial setup, with routine support continuing for six months post-launch. While no specific budget is explicitly stated, vendors must provide comprehensive fee structures detailing all potential costs Integral Care might incur. The software solution must be capable of seamlessly integrating with the existing NetSmart myAvatar EHR system and Microsoft Office365 environment, ensuring minimal disruption to current operational workflows. Successful vendors will need to demonstrate robust technical capabilities, strong data synchronization mechanisms, and a comprehensive approach to maintaining accurate client insurance information while adhering to strict HIPAA compliance standards.
