ClaimsCore Combined Synopsis/Solicitation

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Solicitation number 75FCMC26R0022 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP) for ClaimsCore. The ClaimsCore program seeks to re-platform Medicare Fee for Service claims processing by replacing legacy “Shared Systems” including the Multi-Carrier System (MCS), Fiscal Intermediary Shared System (FISS) and Durable Medical Equipment Claims System (DME) as well as the Common Working File (CWF) with a flexible and interoperable platform that reduces administrative burden and sets improvement of the beneficiary experience as the program’s guiding objective. CMS intends to procure a Software as a Services (SaaS) Commercially-Available-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product and complimentary configuration and integration services that will provide CMS with near real-time adjudication and claims status, policy agility, industry leading enterprise tools, improved fraud prevention capabilities, and tighter integration across CMS, Medicare Administrative Contractor (MACs), providers, and partners.
