Professional Investigative Services

The Essex County Hospital Center, a government authority located in Newark, New Jersey, requires professional investigative services to support its administrative and clinical operations. The agency is seeking a qualified contractor to conduct patient legal settlement and financial eligibility investigations, as well as pre-employment screening and background check services. These investigations will assist the authority in determining patient financial responsibility and ensuring the suitability of prospective employees. The scope of work covers two distinct investigative areas to be performed entirely offsite. For the first area, the contractor must investigate patient financial backgrounds and legal settlements to determine eligibility for services and potential recovery of funds. For the second area, the contractor must conduct comprehensive background checks and pre-employment screenings for agency job applicants. The agency is limiting eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. The contract will span a period of one year, and the agency is currently seeking proposals to establish the budget and pricing structure for these services. Bidders must submit their proposals in accordance with the procurement guidelines of the Newark-based authority.
