- Description
- CMS has awarded a modification to NGS. The business requirements for the Payment File Development Contractor (PFDC) were discussed by OFM/FSG leadership and staff with OAGM leadership and the Contracting Officer. The discussion concluded that no other viable alternative to awarding a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract through full and open competition could be found which would meet the collective requirements of time, end result effectiveness, cost/price, and lowest risk to the Government, and highest quality result. CMS executive leadership, as well as the CMS executive HITECH Steering Committee has designated OFM-FMSG as the primary Agency business owner of Phase-1 of the ARRA-HITECH incentive payment program. To this end, OFM is in need of ensuring that its payment systems and processes can support HITECH program demands. Importantly, HITECH funding is managed according to ARRA requirements; therefore, HITECH payments to providers cannot comingle with regular Medicare payments. As such, CMS/OFM/FMSG determined that a PFDC is required in order to disburse HITECH payments outside of the regular Medicare payment system and to ensure proper ARRA funds control and accountability. This modification will enable the government to: Help the PFDC contractor develop and finalize the business and technical requirements for the files transferred between the PFDC, NLR, Treasury, and the Medicare bank; conduct daily balancing/reconciliation to the NLR including data integrity testing between the NLR and the PFDC systems; attend meetings and conference calls with various CMS components and HITECH contractors to help develop business and technical requirements for the interface between the PFDC and the NLR; review and comment on established and proposed HITECH processes; prepare the weekly PFDC project schedule and coordinate with both CMS HITECH and contractor staff on updating the HITECH integrated project schedule on a weekly basis; attend the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Technical Review Board meetings in Baltimore and other meetings as required; ensure that all HITECH conference calls are attended by PFDC staff with adequate technical and programmatic understanding of both the PFDC tasks and the broader HITECH project goals to contribute effectively to the progress of the HITECH project.
