Inpatient Coding System

The agency is seeking an external Inpatient Coding System to ensure coding accuracy, workforce stability, regulatory compliance, and sustainable operations within an increasingly complex healthcare environment. The selected provider must manage and dispute payer coding changes through final resolution and deliver routine, agreed-upon reporting. The project covers the performance of inpatient coding services in connection with inpatient claims for all payers. Bidders must provide a detailed explanation of how they will staff the engagement with a minimum of two full-time equivalents per day without creating a backlog. The agency requires a detailed description of the bidder's history in performing inpatient services for all payers, as well as a weekly summary of the assigned workforce with contact information and a detailed plan of accomplishment. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States, and all work must be performed offsite. The contract period will span five years. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of the engagement, though specific evaluation criteria and key dates are not detailed in the source.
