Healthcare Actuarial Study Services

The Missouri Department of Corrections in Jefferson City, Missouri, is seeking a contractor to provide healthcare actuarial study services. The agency needs to analyze its current medical and mental health services to evaluate historical healthcare costs, staffing information, invoices, reports, healthcare and mental health utilization data, offender population information, and other records related to healthcare operations. Through this study, the agency aims to develop alternative healthcare models to optimize its correctional healthcare operations and finance. The scope of work requires the contractor to review the state agency's current medical and mental health services and propose alternative model descriptions.

The project covers healthcare cost analysis, correctional healthcare, healthcare finance, or related projects. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States and must demonstrate experience in providing healthcare actuarial study services in the public sector. The proposal must include a list of states for which the bidder provided these services, along with the corresponding dates the bidder served as the actuary of record. The agency will evaluate proposals based on these qualifications and the submitted methodologies. The contract period will be for one year, and the performance of the work can be conducted onsite or offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost. The key dates and specific deadlines for submission are governed by the standard procurement timeline of the issuing authority.
