Statewide Primary Care Hub-and-Spoke Feasibility and Rural Hospital Clinical Hub Planning and Pilot

The University of New Mexico seeks a qualified consulting firm to assess the feasibility of a statewide hub‑and‑spoke primary‑care model with UNM as the clinical hub and to design a pilot linking UNM to a rural hospital hub. The work includes creating multiple network design options, performing legal, financial, workforce, and operational analyses, conducting tribal consultations, building detailed financial models, and delivering a phased roadmap and pilot plan. The effort is split into two projects: a 12‑month feasibility study (budget $1,050,000) and a 9‑month pilot planning effort (budget $750,000), with an optional $50,000 fund‑design task. Deliverables include design option reports, legal and payment feasibility analyses, tribal consultation report, financial models, and final feasibility determination with recommendations. • Conduct three hub‑and‑spoke design option studies and map all potential spoke sites across New Mexico. • Perform comprehensive legal, regulatory, workforce, and financial modeling, including Medicaid/Medicare payment streams and future federal funding changes. • Engage tribal entities and community stakeholders, producing a separate tribal‑consultation report. • Deliver a detailed feasibility determination, roadmap, and pilot design, and optionally design a Rural Provider Stabilization Fund. • All work must be completed within the specified contract periods and adhere to UNM’s standard terms, including data privacy, IP assignment, and insurance requirements.
