RFI for Independent Assessments for Medicaid Waivered Services

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare in Boise, Idaho, is seeking information to identify vendors capable of providing independent assessments for Medicaid waivered services. The agency needs objective, third-party evaluations to determine if applicants meet the clinical level of care required for specific programs. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of ensuring unbiased, accurate eligibility determinations for individuals seeking state-funded care. The scope of work covers assessments across multiple Medicaid waiver and home and community-based service types. Specifically, the selected vendor must evaluate applicants for aged and disabled waiver services, adult state plan personal care services, and the Youth Empowerment Services system of care. The project also encompasses evaluations for children's habilitative intervention services, children's private duty nursing services, children's personal care services, 1915(i) state plan home and community-based services, and developmental disability state plan services. Eligible respondents must be onshore organizations based entirely within the United States. The agency requires all performance of the work to occur offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine budget expectations, and specific key dates are not provided in the initial request.
