- The purpose of this solicitation is to provide Physicians Services – Internal Medicine for the residents at the Armed Forces Retirement Home – Gulfport, MS (AFRH-G). The duties shall include a full range of medical care; comprehensive, professional, clinical and medical services in a geriatric environment located at the Community Health Clinic. AFRH-G currently has approximately 590 residents, but can support up to 620. Previously, the physicians group has consisted of approximately four full-time physicians. The critical element of this contract is the ability of the Contractor to provide third party billing services and accept their reimbursement as payment in full. Details are listed below: RESIDENTS’ INSURANCE AND BILLING: AFRH-G residents have Medicare, TRICARE FOR LIFE or TRICARE PRIME and some have supplemental medical insurance. At the present time, TRICARE requires that services be requested through the Primary Care Physician in order for TRICARE to be billed for services. The Contractor shall apply for and become a network provider under the TRICARE Managed Care Support Contract or follow-on TRICARE contract and any other third party insurance program for purposes of becoming a Primary Care Manager for those beneficiaries under his/her care that are TRICARE eligible. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining insurance information and Informed Consent from the residents. Insurance information and Informed Consent will be provided to the Contractor by the residents of the AFRH-G at the time services are rendered.

In the case of a resident who does not have coverage, the AFRH-G will pay for services at the Tricare rate of reimbursement. Uninsured residents make up less than 1% of the resident population at the AFRH-G. THIRD PARTY BILLING: The Contractor shall bill the residents’ insurance company directly for reimbursement of Physician Services. Residents and/or their insurance companies will be responsible for payment of all services including co-payments.
