- Description
- Provider Invoices Services. The contractor shall perform preferred pricing services. This includes making healthcare provider discounts available to the VA and providing the preferred pricing information to the VA. Pricing is based on a percentage of the savings; if there is no savings, there is no payment to the contractor. The contractor?s fee is a percentage of savings on a per-claim basis with no additional fee beyond the percentage of savings. Savings are defined as the difference between the VA allowable (the amount the VA would pay) and the contractor?s preferred price. When eligible veterans use providers offering discounts for hospitalizations, inpatient services, outpatient services, outpatient care, ambulatory surgery, dental, professional services, ancillary, or other services, discounted rates will be available to VA Medical Centers (VAMC) under this contract. All providers shall submit their invoices to the individual VAMC in accordance with instructions. The VAMC verifies eligibility, that the service is appropriate given the veteran?s eligibility, and determines the amount the VA will pay on a particular invoice. The VAMC will document the amount they will pay on the invoice and forward invoices greater than $150 to the contractor. The contractor shall verify the provider?s best price for the services claimed, returning the information to the VAMC. The VAMC will select the lesser of the two prices for payment. The contractor shall prepare an individual pricing form for every invoice and return it to the VAMC with the discounted price clearly written on it. The contractor shall pay for overnight or second-day shipping when it is used. The contractor shall provide the capability to exchange invoices electronically using HIPAA compliant transactions. This capability may/may not be exercised by the Government, which shall be provided at no additional cost to the Government.
