“Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Technology Acquisition Center (TAC) is seeking information concerning the availability of capable contractors to provide software, maintenance, and technical support for the VA Fee Basis Claims System (FBCS). FBCS is in use within 142 VA Fee offices. FBCS allows Fee Claims processing departments to manage and process Fee claims in an electronic environment, which improves the ability to keep track of claims in process and to identify duplicate and non-compliant claims. In addition, this product improves the ability to report on Fee expenditures and improves accuracy and consistency of Fee authorizations. FBCS provides the ability to monitor individual and department productivity. It allows VA to communicate efficiently with the vendors and Veterans about the adjudication status of their claims by providing a complete audit trail for each claim.”
“The existing VA FBCS is provided by Document Storage Systems, Inc. VA is seeking sources capable of maintaining the existing annual licenses OR implementing, training, testing, and deploying a software system with identical capabilities of the existing software system by January 1, 2020 in a way that is economically feasible to VA. The objective of this procurement will be to procure the FBCS or equivalent solution for Veteran Health Administration (VHA) sites that are currently using claims processing software. This is a continuation of production of a major system. This procurement will be an interim solution until the replacement system is fully functional as well as current claims inventory in FBCS has completed adjudication; the anticipated completion date of these action is late calendar year 2020.”
