Description

Background
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Regional Procurement Office, Central Supply & Services Team 2, is seeking vendors for a near-future solicitation for a Healthcare Clearing House (HCCH) to facilitate the discovery of Electronic Insurance Transactions and Insurance.

The VA aims to enhance its operational efficiency by increasing connectivity and reducing processing times for revenue operations through electronic transactions, in compliance with HIPAA regulations.

Work Details
The contractor will conduct Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Health Care Eligibility/Benefit Inquiry and Response 270/271 electronic transactions from the Austin Financial Services Center across the United States.

The contractor will also perform customized electronic transactions to search for patient insurance information when it is not available in VHA records. The contractor must assist the VHA in implementing electronic transactions without directing or changing VHA policy. Key tasks include: conducting HIPAA-compliant transactions, ensuring adaptability to evolving VA requirements, and maintaining close coordination with VA personnel.

Place of Performance
The services will be performed primarily at the Austin Financial Services Center and may involve coordination across various locations in the United States.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must demonstrate capability in providing required supplies and services, including past experience on similar projects within the last three years. They should provide company information, business size status, capabilities, and relevant project descriptions. A completed VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 852.219-76 Certificate of Compliance for Supplies and Products is also required. Additionally, there is an anticipated set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms based on responses received.
