Description:
The State of Alabama, via the Alabama Department of Public Health, seeks a qualified vendor to provide a comprehensive electronic billing clearinghouse system. The solution must enable direct data entry to the Federal Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS), support claim validation, editing, and submission, handle HIPAA‑compliant 837/835 file transfers, and integrate with the Department’s existing Homecare Homebase billing platform. The contract is a fixed‑price, all‑or‑none award to the lowest responsible bidder, with an initial twelve‑month term and up to four optional twelve‑month extensions, subject to written approval. All freight costs must be embedded in unit prices, and the supplier must accept electronic state payments at no additional cost. • Provide an electronic platform for claim submission, validation, editing, and real‑time or batch processing (up to 6,000 claims per year). • Deliver HIPAA‑compliant 837 claim and 835 remittance file transfer services (up to 3,000 transactions annually) and maintain a secure DDE/FISS connection. • Offer analytics, reporting, and reconciliation tools, and ensure seamless integration with ADPH’s Homecare Homebase system without major re‑configuration. • Meet strict data‑ownership, security, and electronic‑payment requirements; freight must be FOB destination and included in unit prices. • Contract term: 12‑month base period with four optional one‑year extensions, price adjustments only by mutual written agreement at renewal.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Because no ceiling or budget is disclosed, we estimate based on comparable state‑wide health‑IT clearinghouse contracts, which typically range from $0.5 million for a modest, fixed‑price, 12‑month implementation to $2 million or more when optional extensions and full‑service support are included. Factors influencing the range include the complexity of integration with Homecare Homebase, the volume of claim processing (up to 6,000 claims/yr), and any price‑escalation negotiations at renewal.
